Jacobs Engineering Group has received a contract from MEGlobal to provide engineering, procurement and construction management services as well as a contract from ExxonMobil Chemical Company for their Beaumont facility.

Foster Wheeler to join one of Europe's biggest refinery projects: The engineering experts will provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) works for the Antwerp Northwest Europe Resid Upgrade Project of Exxon Mobil.

Dow Dupont's board of directors has approved the previously announced separation of their Materials Science Division. As of April 1, the division is to become new Dow and an independent, publicly traded company.

Petronas has signed an agreement with the Sarawak State Government concerning a methanol plant project and with Huchems for the supply of natural gas.

Tight deadlines, extreme quality standards and massive cost pressure—these are the demands which currently dictate pharmaceutical plant engineering. The new but familiar market of the future is biotechnology, although chemical syntheses are also back in demand.

Situated in Felling, Akzo Nobel’s new campus intends to deliver superior innovations and products for the marine and oil and gas industries. A new application and testing laboratory is one of the main features of the campus.

The world’s population is expanding rapidly, and so too are its energy requirements. Providing food for almost seven billion people, and reducing our dependence on crude oil by using plant-based energy sources, require the targeted use of fertilizers. The production of nitrogen-based fertilizers is a chemically complex process in which heat is repeatedly transferred between the process media. As the world’s leading fertilizer plant engineering company, Uhde relies mainly on plate heat exchangers from GEA Ecoflex.

Hydrogen - a colourless, odourless gas is increasingly gaining attention as a future source of energy free from environmental pollution. Its new use has been found in the automobile and power generation sector. But the storage of hydrogen has always been a problem due to its small molecular size – now solid state hydrogen storage technology could bring a breakthrough...

The world of rotary lobe blowers on the one side and the world of screw compressors on the other side, both strictly separated from each other: that’s past history now! The compressed air specialists from Aerzener Maschinenfabrik have been successful in building a bridge beetween both worlds.

A new Hart Loop Converter converts up to three digital Hart variables that could include the 4…20mA transmitter current signal and makes them available to the host control system. These three variables enable not only the actual measured result but also process-related parameters such as reaction-time and temperature to be determined and used selectively to control the process — using the same cable and incurring no extra cost.
