Reliance announced the successful and flawless completion of its Ethane Project, including commissioning of its ethane receipt & handling facilities and ethane cracking, at its Dahej Manufacturing Facility in Gujarat within less than three years.

The conglomeration on “Coal and ash handling at the thermal power plants” held on November 19 to 21, 2012 at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, witnessed the participation of around 60 delegates from various thermal power plants, equipment and system suppliers, consultants across the nation.

The new CA-6-14-A Analyzer from Electro Chemical Devices measures Total Nitrogen in the range of 0-30.0 mg/L using a UV Digestion and a Colorimetric based analysis. Total Nitrogen is the combination of organic and inorganic nitrogen (NH4, NO3, NO2) present in the sample. It is a common measurement in drinking water and in municipal wastewater effluent.

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.

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.
