Green hydrogen is becoming the standard: A study by Deloitte predicts that it will reach a market share of 85 percent by 2050, exceeding 500 million metric tons. At the same time, 9.4 trillion dollars must be invested in the supply chain every year until then. It is no wonder that valve manufacturers want a piece of this pie.

PROCESS Worldwide brings to you the ‘Top 10 plant engineering projects of April 2025’ from all over the world. Right from Piller partnering with GIG Karasek for the world’s most powerful heat pump system to Indian Oil Corporation developing a mega petrochemical complex at Paradip, India, find out all the projects making headlines here.

Sabic has announced a public auction for 141 lots of industrial assets sourced from its production facilities in La Aljorra, Murcia, Spain. With the public auction, the company aims to optimize inventories and responsibly manage excess stock.

Edwards’ vacuum pumps help support heat pipe cooling solutions that not only keeps systems operating safely but also helps reduce energy consumption and dependence on traditional cooling infrastructure.

Corrosion, broken springs, and unstable operating conditions: A centrifugal pump has repeatedly failed at a chemical production facility at Dow Chemical. It was only the targeted use of sensors on the mechanical seal and structured data analysis that finally brought clarity — and ensured that the pump and production were running stably again.

John Crane has introduced a next generation mechanical seal called Type 8628VL. The mechanical seal has been engineered to maintain sealing integrity in multiphase ethane and ethylene pipelines within the oil and gas industry.

At this year Ifat-Fair, Vega will demonstrate how modern level and pressure measurement technology helps keep processes consistently stable and efficient. Interactive demonstrations will showcase the performance of the sensors under realistic operating conditions.

Emerson has introduced the Synchros Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform through which maintenance and operations teams can now digitize inspection points and extend visibility using a flexible wireless architecture.

Matheson Tri-Gas has awarded a significant contract to Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group to develop an air separation unit in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new project is expected to produce oxygen, nitrogen, and argon in order to meet the increasing demand for liquid gases in the medical, fabrication, construction, and food processing industries across Nevada, California, Utah, and Arizona.

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action has approved funding to BASF for developing the world’s largest industrial heat pump for CO2-free steam generation at its Ludwigshafen site in Germany. The heat pump is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 98 % at the site.
