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

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.

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...

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.

Shorter planning and construction times, more flexible utilization options through rapid modifications, and everything as energy-efficient as possible: The Enpro initiative (Energy Efficiency and Process Acceleration for the Chemical Industry) is opening up interesting options for the process industries with its various development projects. New designs for pumps also offer undreamed-of opportunities, as the first modular concepts and the Hector project show. We explain how tomorrow’s pumps may be both modular and energy-efficient.

GEA has plans to invest a whopping 20 million dollars for developing a technology center which focuses on alternative proteins. The center will be established in the state of Wisconsin, USA and will pilot microbial, cell-based and plant-based foods.

The chemical industry makes use of numerous industrial pumps for different purposes. To better understand how each pump is different from the other, PROCESS Worldwide offers an insight into the different types of pumps available in the market and also highlights its structure, function and applications for the benefit of industrial players in the chemical sector.

With an aim to accelerate its transition into a hydrogen economy, Baker Hughes has successfully achieved several milestones to support its ambitious goal. This includes the launch of a new hydrogen testing facility in Italy for validation of its Nova LT industrial turbines to run blends all the way up to 100 % hydrogen.

Steriline, an Italian manufacturer of robotic and standard fill/finish lines for the aseptic processing of injectable drugs, delivered to Fatro an extremely compact robotic filling machine, to produce small batches of veterinary vaccines in single-dose pre-filled syringes (PFSs).
