With 3 petaflops of computing power, the new supercomputer is the world’s largest supercomputer used in industrial chemical research and has been started up at BASF’s Ludwigshafen site in Germany.

Centrifugal pumps pump lower viscosity liquids with a high flow rate and are used across the chemical, petrochemical as well as wastewater treatment industry. These pumps play a vital role in industrial plants and market players have now introduced many new features to these pumps which makes them different from their counterparts. In this article, we have listed some of the latest innovations in this space.

The Marchesini Group will be participating at this year’s Interpack show which is scheduled to be held from May 4 – 10. The company is keen to showcase its solutions with a focus on sustainability and digital innovation.

A wealth of opportunities are currently opening up for digitalising existing process plants and making them ready for the era of the industrial Internet of Things. It is indisputable that this offers new possibilities, for example through predictive maintenance, improved connectivity and new findings acquired from big data. This is true in theory, at least. But in practice, the path to the digital future can sometimes be laborious, expensive, or both — especially for installations in hazardous areas. Remote I/O helps with this shift while saving money.

With an aim to remain competitiveness in today’s rapidly changing economic and geopolitical environment especially in Europe, OQ Chemicals has decided to realign its organization and reduce its workforce in Germany.

In the chemical industry, plants need to be kept up-to-date at all costs and different kinds of robots help plant operators to achieve this goal. Whether you need them for inspection in a hazardous/confined zone or for collecting data, these 3 types of industrial robots are all you need in an industrial setting.

Siemens exhibited its first virtual Simatic controller at Hannover Messe 2023. The innovative Simatic S7-1500V ensures greater flexibility and scalability as well as simplifies collaboration between IT and OT users.

The “dual carbon” goals will bring profound changes to the development of China’s economy. On the road to carbon neutrality in the process industry, digital technology is becoming a new engine driving the high-quality development of the industry. Through continuous digital technology upgrading and application innovation, Siemens is actively integrating cutting-edge technology into industrial practices to promote green productivity of China’s industry.
