Why do you only need to remember one radar level sensor from now on? Whether you’re dealing with liquid or bulk material, whether at 6 GHz, 26 GHz or 80 GHz — in future, one radar sensor will cover all applications. It couldn’t be simpler, promise the radar experts at Vega, who have one thing in mind above all: better processes for the user.

Plug Power and Olin Corporation have come together to establish a joint venture under which both the companies will produce as well as market green hydrogen in the background of rising demand for fuel cell in the global hydrogen economy. The JV will set up its first green hydrogen production plant in St. Gabriel, Louisiana, USA which is expected to produce 15 tons per day.

With a mega investment of 7-million-dollars, Borealis has developed a new filtration system with assistance from the Technische Universität Wien and the Graz University of Technology. The system boasts of reducing the loss of plastic pellets into the environment in order to meet the goal of zero pellet loss.

The digital future is all about communication. Big data applications turn huge amounts of raw data into usable information for detailed analysis and informed decision making. IoT-enabled devices seamlessly integrate into comprehensive communication infrastructures. End-to-end Ethernet provides the enabling technology for direct communication free from platform limitations and hierarchical structures. Cloud-based solutions allow the access to any information anytime and anywhere. Industrie 4.0 is finally becoming reality.

Vattenfall and Preem are currently exploring the idea to speed up the development of a value chain which connects offshore wind and hydrogen with the refining industry in order to decarbonize its operations.

Ethylene from ethane, obtained through steam cracking, is the latest boom sector in China's petrochemical industry. Construction of no less than three new large-scale plants was completed just before the start of the New Year, PROCESS (China) reports. While the vast majority of ethylene in China is still produced in petroleum refineries from naphtha, a number of investors are now turning to cheap ethane, mainly from shale gas deposits in the US.

Under a joint study agreement, Pertamina and Air Liquide Indonesia have teamed up to develop Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology at the Balikpapan Refinery Processing Unit in Indonesia. The two firms will jointly conduct a study on CO2 Syngas and Flue Gas capture technology application from hydrogen production at the site.

PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of April 2022’ from all over the world. Right from Southeast Asia’s first green e-methanol plant to the world’s largest green hydrogen hub in the USA, find out all the projects making headlines here.

China's fertilizer market and production is currently stable despite the Corona crisis. Total production of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers was 53,958 million tons last year, down only slightly by 0.9 per cent year-on-year, according to the database of trade publication Zhongshang Qingbao Wang.

Black & Veatch has secured a contract by Mitsubishi Power Americas and Magnum Development to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for a first-of-its kind advanced clean energy storage project in Delta, Utah, USA. The new green hydrogen hub is expected to convert 220+ MW of renewable energy daily to 100 metric tons of green hydrogen which will be stored in two salt caverns.
