The new launch ‘My Rechemical’ is Next Chem’s new subsidiary focusing on chemical valorisation of non-recyclable plastics and ‘Waste to Chemical’ processes. With this, the company aims to strengthen its presence in the market and also be recognised as the player with the most innovative technological solutions for circular economy.

The large-scale predictive maintenance project will make use of artificial intelligence technologies to optimise asset efficiency across Adnoc’s upstream and downstream operations. The project will be implemented over four phases and is expected to be one of the largest in the oil and gas industry.

Covestro has received its maiden batch of renewable phenol from Borealis. The renewable phenol has been produced with ISCC Plus certified hydrocarbons from Neste and Covestro will be using it to produce high-performance plastic polycarbonate.

The ethylene cracking furnaces will be supplied to the Baltic chemical plant and will be used for a gas chemical complex which is part of a mega ethane-rich gas processing complex on the Gulf of Finland.

The Qattameya gas field located offshore Egypt is expected to produce up to 50 million cubic feet of gas per day. The field has been developed through a one-well subsea development and tied-back to existing infrastructure.

The new naphtha cavern has recently been commissioned in Porvoo, Finland. With this project, Borealis will now be able to source and store naphtha from the global market in a cost-efficient manner. The cavern is also expected to store renewable naphtha which proves useful for the production of renewable polyolefins.

The world’s first blue ammonia shipment paves the way for utilising sustainable hydrogen and contributing to the circular carbon economy. The high-grade blue ammonia will be used in Japan for zero-carbon power generation.

Chevron Phillips Chemical (CP Chem) has become the first company in the US to produce circular polyethylene from recycled mixed-waste plastics on a commercial scale. Utilising advanced recycling technology, the firm has plans to develop its new circular polyethylene range and market it upon certification.

The digital twin of a plant is a virtual image, which not only allows internal process states to be displayed transparently, but also allows process optimizations to be worked out. Take the example of steam crackers — the king’s class of process plants — and learn how models, simulations and digital twins can be used to generate benefits over the entire life cycle of plants.

Under a MOU signed between L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) and NTPC, LTHE will be responsible for carrying out Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management services for the CO2 to methanol demonstration plant.
