The launch of a filter press and ceramic-disc filters After a recent acquisition of Swedish filtration-technology company NovaTek, this company has introduced Flowrox Filter Press (FP) and Flowrox Ceramic Disc (CD) Filter (photo) to its product range for solid-liquid separation.…
A process that increases the water-recovery from reverse osmosis (RO) while producing a salt byproduct is being developed by Hyrec (Urla/Izmir, Turkey; www.hyrec.co). The process, which uses osmotically assisted RO (OARO), could be especially beneficial in coal-to-chemicals (CTC) plants in…
Today, olefins are mainly made either by naphtha cracking or by the catalytic conversion of dimethyl ether (DME), which is in-situ made from synthesis-gas- (syngas) derived methanol (methanol-to-olefin processes). Both naphtha cracking and syngas production (from steam-methane reforming; SMR) require…
