Ex~i Flow Measurement’s SFC3000 is a flow computer which is a highly versatile liquid hydrocarbon and gas flow measuring device. The solution can positively contribute to both management and conservation of the world’s dwindling energy resources by providing both versatile and accurate measurement.

Industry players have come up with innovative new technologies such as chemical recycling to ensure that even hard-to-recycle plastics can be recycled by converting it into raw materials in order to create new virgin plastic products. Not only this, entire value chains can now be sustainably transformed by utilizing not only recycled feedstocks but also renewable feedstocks for the production of plastics.

Adnoc and Osaka Gas have entered into a 15 year long sales and purchase agreement for the supply of up to 0.8 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas from Adnoc’s lower-carbon Ruwais LNG project.

OMV has launched an innovative plant that can process up to 16,000 metric tons of hard-to-recycle mixed plastic waste annually. The company’s proprietary Reoil technology will be used for this purpose and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 34 % compared to plastic waste incineration.

Continued pressure on the Maasvlakte site’s profitability due to global overcapacities, a strong increase of imports from Asia and high costs of European production has forced Lyondell Basell and Covestro to permanently shut down the Propylene Oxide Styrene and Monomer production unit (PO11) in the Netherlands.

Covestro has successfully completed the modernization of its Toluene Diisocyanate plant in Dormagen, Germany. The unit consumes 80 % less energy than conventional processes, thus, achieving a CO2 reduction of 22,000 tons per year.

Arkema has chosen the La Défense area in France as its new headquarters. With the new premises, the company intends to combine quality of life at work with collective performance.

With an aim to serve the growing APAC market, Kemira has plans to make a multi-million Euro investment in multiple production line expansion of strength chemical agents for paper, board and tissue at its Wellgrow site in Thailand.

Almost every sector around the world right from the chemical industry to the aviation industry are looking to decarbonize their operations. New technologies and even sustainable alternatives are being explored for this purpose. Renewable methanol or sustainable methanol is just one of these many new solutions that aims to slash and even eliminate carbon emissions for these sectors.

Dow has secured the ISCC Plus certification for its Propylene Glycol manufacturing facility in Map Ta Phut, Rayong, Thailand. The certification will help the company to further advance its sustainable production and offer circular and bio-circular products to customers in the Asia Pacific region.
