Reliance and BP have entered into a new JV in order to meet India’s fast-growing demand for energy and mobility. Together, the companies aim at increasing RIL’s current fuel retailing network of over 1,400 sites across India to 5,500 sites over the next five years.

World-wide, 85 percent of oil & gas wells currently use some form of artificial lift, and nearly all wells need stimulation at some point during their production. Common artificial lift mechanisms include beam pumps, gas lift injection, submersible pumps, and hydraulic pumps—all of which require periodic optimization.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a new Total Residual Oxidant (TRO) analyzer to address the needs of the wastewater industry, which calls for a robust, dependable instrument capable of reliably measuring low ppb chlorine concentrations in effluent and treated wastewater in line with stringent regulatory requirements.

Zydus Cadila, a leading Indian pharmaceutical company, bought Macofar technology when it intended to expand production. The machine not only efficiently fills small vials but is also complaint to cGMP regulations. Read on to know more about it.

Pumping is one of the challenging tasks in the process industry. Depending on the company’s area of operations, content to be pumped vary, and hence the choice of pumps also differs. However, peristaltic is one of the pump types that is capable handling various kind of contents including abrasive, viscous, high density, corrosive, etc. This feature makes the pump ideal for varied purposes such as yeast pumping, vending machine applications, chemical pumping and many more.

In applications such as pH determination, process analytics is securely in the driving seat. As yet unexploited potential, in contrast, is still slumbering in spectroscopy. A solution is promised by new data analysis methods as well as the integration of analysis equipment into control systems.

The Full Spectrum Model IPS-4 presented on Pittcon in Atlanta Combines Ultraviolet with Single Beam and Multiple Wavelength IR Technology.

At its Interphex booth Marchesini will present the additional attraction of the new Extrafill Syringe Filler. It has been developed to meet the growing demands of packaging disposable pre-filled syringes in the North American market.

Energy efficiency was at the top of the list of issues which were communicated to visitors at Achema 2012. In the aftermath of the show, the industry continues to look for ways of exploiting the opportunities that exist to save energy in chemical production. The quest has been particularly rewarding in drive engineering. Learn more about different approaches to energy-efficient motor design.

In the chemical industry, in power plants or on oilfields corrosion, deposits and the growth of harmful microorganisms can all result in system failure. In addition to preventive measures to avoid corrosion problems also scaling must be prevented. Only the precise interaction of metering pumps, controllers and sensors can guarantee fault-free operation with maximum safety.
