There have been many incidents around the world where a fire or an explosion has occurred at an industrial plant, leading to loss of money, productivity and even life. To curb such accidents from happening again, industry players opt for solutions that are explosion-proof or flameproof as it significantly reduces and even eliminates the likelihood of a dangerous catastrophe.

Lummus and Resynergi have achieved a significant milestone with the commercialization of Resynergi’s Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP) Modules. The technology has the ability to convert plastic waste into circular pyrolysis products significantly faster and more efficiently than traditional pyrolysis methods.

Fail-safe functionalities are essential in automation. To meet these requirements in a virtual environment, Siemens has introduced the Simatic S7-1500V F, a fail-safe version of the virtual PLC (vPLC). This enables the execution of fail-safe applications on a vPLC in an industrial edge environment. This allows for the migration of fault-tolerant applications into the virtual world, contributing to the protection of machine operators without the need for dedicated hardware.
