Under a MOU signed between Ineos and Plastic Energy, both the companies will produce 100,000 tonnes of recycled raw materials from plastic waste and create virgin-quality polymers. The partners will also explore the construction of a commercial-scale plant.

Rare-earth magnets are claimed to be strong permanent magnets made from alloys of rare-earth elements which produce significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types of magnets. Solvay has plan to develop a ‘rare earth magnet hub’ in Europe to cater to the fast-growing electric vehicles, wind power, and electronics markets.

Worley has secured a project management services contract for Vertex Hydrogen’s low-carbon hydrogen plant at Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, UK. The scope of work incudes the inside battery limit of the plant, as well as outside battery limit works. It will support in creating the infrastructure needed to connect to feedstocks, products, and modifications within the refinery.

Anellotech has demonstrated its new direct route to light olefins and BTX from conversion of mixed plastic waste. The firm’s Plas-Tcat catalytic pyrolysis technology was used for the demonstration which was carried out in a 0.5 tpd pilot plant.

Loading arms for LNG are almost as unique as a fingerprint. No two are exactly the same. Luvra Hydraulik and R. Stahl work together to ensure that these crane-like structures can move and are safe to operate. Luvra is responsible for planning the industrial hydraulic system, including the electrical engineering. Following this, R. Stahl constructs the explosion-protected electrical control systems — tailored to each individual project.

Under an agreement signed between both the parties, Neste will supply more than 1,000,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel to the Air France-KLM airline over a period of eight years. Claimed to be one of the largest SAF agreements of its kind in the aviation industry, the sustainable fuel is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80 % as compared to the traditional fossil jet fuel.

It sounds like the famous squaring of the circle: high-capacity OSD production in a limited space, with the integration of one of the largest granulation lines in the Middle East added to the mix. Below, we give insights into a project of superlatives.

A groundbreaking ceremony was recently held by Covestro to develop a new world-scale Aniline Production Facility in Antwerp, Belgium. The project is expected to strengthen the company’s European production network for MDI.

Adnoc Refining is expected to complete the first phase of its Waste Heat Recovery project at the General Utilities Plant in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, UAE. The 600-million-dollar project will recycle waste heat generated from the plant, thus increasing power production and thermal efficiency of the facility by around 30 % with no additional emissions.

Air Liquide has plans to develop three new plants for supplying ultra-high purity industrial gases to two of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers. The plants are expected to produce a total of up to 2 billion Nm3 per year of ultra-pure nitrogen, oxygen as well as argon and will be operational by 2024.
