Under the chemical industry’s ‘Together for Sustainability’ initiative, the sector has agreed on a global guideline for calculating product carbon footprints. The new guideline aims to provide specific calculation instructions for emissions from ‘cradle-to-gate’ for chemicals and will also assist companies to compare and evaluate the climate impact of their products.

Lanxess has introduced three new weak acid cation (WAC) resins along with two weak base anion exchange resins in its Lewatit product portfolio. The new WAC resins consist of renewable raw materials.

Successful integration of green hydrogen into production networks – Compact electrolysis plants, powered by green electricity, could help to solve the issue of energy storage, providing power and raw materials available for a wide range of applications. But setting up a container plant is not enough: Sahll the decentralized H2 production become a success, it needs to be suitably integrated and connected. Is the energy transition a matter of plant planning and design?

LG Chem and ADM have entered into an agreement to establish two new joint ventures focusing on LA (lactic acid) and PLA (poly lactic acid). The first joint venture ‘Greenwise Lactic’ will produce 150,000 tons of high-purity corn-based lactic acid every year while the second one ‘LG Chem Illinois Biochem’ will use Greenwise Lactic’s lactic acid to produce 75,000 tons of bioplastics annually.

Electrolysis is said to be particularly good at load control and can therefore respond flexibly to fluctuating energy flows. But it's not quite that simple: a pilot project is being launched in Japan to test flexible hydrogen production.

Honeywell has completed the engineering assessment in Malaysia for Chemone Group’s Pengerang Energy Complex (PEC) Greenfield Integrated Condensate Splitter & Aromatic Complex. The project is expected to produce 2.3 million tonnes per annum of aromatics.

Digital pumps are here to stay: A recent study shows that the market for digital and connected pumps could nearly double in size within the next decade. But which trends and developments drive the market and what to expect of the next decade?

The following article describes the influence of the material features and critical process parameters inside a full continuous direct compression plant. A quality by design (QBD) approach was set up to evaluate the critical quality attributes of the tablet press, final blend, and tablet characteristics in a continuous direct compression process.

With a revenue of 1.4 billion dollars in 2020, Tata Chemicals needs no introduction. Zarir Langrana, Executive Director and President (Global Chemicals Business), Tata Chemicals in an interview with PROCESS Worldwide shares the various measures undertaken by the company in the background of trending concepts such as circular economy, digitalization and decarbonization.

Dow and Mura Technology have plans to build Europe’s largest advanced recycling plant for plastics at Dow's Böhlen site in Germany. The project is expected to deliver approximately 120 KTA of advanced recycling capacity. This is one of the many series of plants that are being planned to be built across the U.S. and Europe.
