The new carbon capture and utilization technology will be tested at OMV Petrom’s Petrobrazi refinery in Romania. The tests which are a part of a demonstration campaign will be carried out in three countries - Denmark, Romania and Greece.

With an aim to meet the growing demand in Latin America, Sika has launched a new production facility which will produce synthetic macro fibers. Synthetic macro fibers are based on an advanced technology for the constructive and static reinforcement of concrete structures.

Lummus Technology’s cumene technology has been selected by IOCL for its new 440 KTA unit which is part of a grassroots petrochemical and polymers expansion at its complex in Paradip, India.

With an aim to meet the growing demand for industrial gases in the region, Linde has increased the production capacity at its Mims facility in Florida by 50 %. The move will help to meet the demand for oxygen, nitrogen and argon from customers across the healthcare, manufacturing, food processing and water treatment sectors.

The Maag Group along with Witte will present their first joint product development at Achema 2024 – the new Chem-X gear pump. The pump features an advanced gear tooth design which has been optimized for minimal hydraulic pulsation and maximum volumetric efficiency.

These are the birth pangs of a new economy: the increasing demand for chemical products is bringing growth to the industry, which at the same time has to cope with the necessary transformation towards climate neutrality. For chemical plant construction, both of these factors mean a lot of work in the coming years - in addition to enormous challenges, huge opportunities await.

As we move towards a climate-neutral future, great hopes are being pinned on hydrogen as a key element of the energy transition. The energy-rich molecule can be used for storage and can act as an ideal versatile chemical energy carrier. But how might the hydrogen economy of the future look like? What volumes are required and what infrastructure is suitable? This trend report provides answers to these questions.

It is a mammoth undertaking: Most nations want to become climate-neutral by 2050 – and with them the companies in the chemical industry. Because on the one hand it produces energy-intensively, and on the other it cannot do without carbon, the chemical industry is having a particularly hard time decarbonizing. But this only spurs the industry's researchers and engineers on even more.

With more than 60 percent of exhibitors coming from abroad, this year's event is claimed to be the most international Achema ever. The show will also host various side events from renowned partners.

Schubert has introduced diverse solutions for food packaging including tog.519 cobots, the all new TLM Comfort Feeder as well as the Flowpacker.
