A new 1-ft 3 (28-L) capacity Vee Cone Blender model VB-1-SSIS (photo) is suitable for laboratory and pilot applications. Constructed and finished to sanitary standards, it is equipped with an internal spray line with intensifier bar for rapid dispersion of…
Current hydrogen demand is dominated by petroleum refining and fertilizer production, and is supplied largely by fossil-fuel-based steam-methane reforming (SMR). Increasingly, however, demand for hydrogen will come from the energy transition, and will be supplied by a more diverse range…
In 1851, the year that the first America’s Cup sailboat race was contested, the top speed for a wind-powered vessel was 10 knots. Over the next 100 years, top sailboat speeds barely budged, but by the mid-1970s, top sailing speed…
Advances in H2S-removal technologies for biogas upgrading are essential for mitigating environmental issues like air pollution and corrosion Biogas, a renewable energy source derived from organic waste and typically comprised mainly of methane, holds great promise for sustainable energy production.…
These air mixers (photo) are designed for maximum efficiency and ease of use in diverse mixing applications. Compatible with a range of mixing blades, these air-powered devices are intrinsically safe for handling of volatile and flammable materials when electric mixers…
Basotect thermoset melamine resin foam (photo) offers outstanding acoustic properties. Because of its fine, open-cell foam structure, it can achieve sound-absorption values in the mid- and high-frequency ranges. Moreover, sound absorbers made from Basotect reduce the echo caused by reverberation…
LC-Series heat exchangers are designed for cooling liquids or high-pressure air with ambient air. Common applications include cooling water used in fracking processes, cooling glycol or water as a cleaner alternative to smaller cooling towers, cooling compressed air and condensing…
Calcium-sulfonate complex greases are widely used in applications in the pulp-and-paper, marine and steel-manufacturing sectors. Within an ever-volatile lithium market, calcium-sulfonate greases are increasingly seen as a reliable alternative to lithium-based greases. However, typical methods for preparing high-performance calcium-sulfonate grease…
Evonik (Essen, Germany; www.evonik.com) has inaugurated a plant for its innovative dispersion technology for fumed silica at its Rheinfelden site. This strengthens the specialty chemicals company’s position as a leading supplier of high-quality silicas from the AEROSIL® family. The new…
Technip Energies (Paris; www.ten.com) and Shell Catalysts & Technologies (Houston; www.shell.com) announce a technology transfer agreement which accelerates the commercialization of Technip Energies’ Bio-2-GlycolsTM technology for bio-based Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) production from glucose. MEG is traditionally produced using fossil-based…
