Emerson’s Fisher Cavitrol Hex severe service valve trim reduces or eliminates cavitation to improve rotary valve performance and extend operating life.

Saudi Aramco Technologies Company has entered into a worldwide commercialization agreement with Access ESP for the game-changing Jumpstart flowback and well cleanup service. The expert service makes use of a through-tubing electric submersible pump system to rapidly, safely and efficiently flow back and clean out oil and gas wells after drilling.

A recent MOU signed by Arcelor Mittal and the Spanish Government has resulted in a 1.18-billion-dollar investment in decarbonization technologies at Arcelor Mittal Asturias’ plant in Gijón, Spain. The new DRI and EAF installations at the Asturias plant will enable Arcelor Mittal Sestao to become the world’s first full-scale zero carbon-emissions steel plant.

Technip FMC has recently completed all the required conditions for carrying out expansion and modernisation of Midor’s refinery in Egypt. On completion, the modernised complex is expected to produce Euro V products.

The new plant is the company’s third manufacturing base for Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene and is expected to increase the firm’s production capacity to 10,500 tonnes per year.

A regular large-scale inspection of a refinery took place at Mineraloelraffinerie Oberrhein (MiRO) in Karlsruhe, in the spring of 2015. All 41 process plants in No. 1 Works as well as three plants in No. 2 Works were at a standstill for four–six weeks. During this time much more took place than just the fulfillment of legal requirements: The plants were cleaned, repaired and underwent further technical optimization and testing to ensure that they would run reliably and efficiently in the years ahead.

Covestro has set up a mini plant at its Dormagen site in Germany under the ‘Carbon2Polymers’ project to explore the use of carbon monoxide (CO) from steel industry metallurgical gases for the production of high-quality polycarbonates.

Under a MOU signed by Air Liquide, Borealis, Esso S.A.F., Total Energies and Yara International, all the companies will work together to explore the development of a CO2 infrastructure in order to help decarbonize the industrial basin located in the Normandy region, France.

Guided wave radar (GWR) has become increasingly popular as an alternative to mechanical technology for level and interface measurements in bypass chamber applications. This measurement method, which has no moving parts and is not affected by density changes, provides reliable and accurate level and interface measurements.

Nowadays, the most common way to obtain extremely fine particles from suspensions is a combination of spray drying followed by a subsequent grinding process. The grinding step is necessary because the product from a spray dryer is in the form of an agglomerate. To avoid the need for this two-step process and so reduce equipment costs, Nara has developed a different type of dryer.
