The same developments happening in the rest of the world are also reshaping laboratories: the increasing use of technology, digital tools and, of course, robots and artificial intelligence (AI). All these trends often go hand in hand with a greater awareness of environmental issues. In this trend report, we present a summary of the fruits these developments are already bearing and will bear in the future.

Cardior is a leader in the discovery and development of therapies that target RNA as a means to prevent, repair and reverse diseases of the heart. With this acquisition, Novo Nordisk aims to establish its presence in cardiovascular disease.

Edwards Vacuum has introduced the powerful E2S series which pumps quickly, saves energy and with its quiet operation helps to reduce the noise level in working environments.

Industrial plants are high risk zones and have to be monitored carefully to avoid any catastrophe. Supervision technologies such as advanced robots and drones play a crucial role here to make the job of monitoring the diverse elements of the facility less stressful, more convenient and less time consuming. Read on to know more about the benefits of these hi-tech technologies in industrial settings.

The alliance is a first of its kind in Europe and will help to accelerate the production of renewable fuels in Spain. With this partnership, Repsol aims to increase its access to the feedstock needed to reach its goal of producing up to 1.7 million tons of renewable fuels by 2027.

Given the substances used, the complexity of the processes and the potential risks to people and the environment, process reliability plays a more important role in the chemical industry than it does in perhaps any other industry. The consequences of failures, leaks and equipment damage can have far-reaching consequences. Generally speaking: The greater the impact of a fault-related failure, the more important it is to use reliable, verifiable components. This is essential, particularly in the field of pump technology.

Emerson’s Rosemount 3490 Controller helps to optimize processes, enhance sustainability and ensure regulatory compliance.

GEA has commenced operations at a new fabrication, repair, logistics and training facility in Wisconsin, USA. The 20-million-dollar unit comprises of production capabilities to finalize separator, decanter as well as valve and pump assembly.

With pumping speeds ranging from 80 to 800 l/s, Pfeiffer Vacuum's Hicube Neo vacuum pumping station is ideal for demanding high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum applications.

Using a decanter to produce biofuel from organic waste: Organic waste goes into the air - at least that is Bisviridi's vision. The subsidiary of the British biogas specialist Biotech4 wants to convert oil and fat waste into crude oil for biofuels. Process engineering plays a decisive role in this...
