CO2 to CO SK Innovation Institute of Environmental Science & Technology, an R&D organization of SK Innovation Co. Ltd. (Seoul, South Korea; www.skinnovation.com), has successfully manufactured about 1 kg/d of CO using diatomic catalyst (DAC) technology, which selectively converts CO2…
Using concentrated solar thermal (CST) energy to supply industrial-heating requirements is a promising way to reduce the use of fossil fuels. This is the aim of Magaldi Green Energy (Rome, Italy; www.magaldigreenenergy.com), which developed its Solar Thermo Electric Magaldi (STEM)…
Energy recovery in spray-drying processes can reduce production costs, but involves trade-offs. Using milk powder as an example, this article describes a spreadsheet method to evaluate exhaust-gas recirculation scenarios for optimizing spray drying Dairy processing is among the most energy…
One of the major hindrances in saltwater electrolysis for “green”-hydrogen production is the cost of materials to construct electrolyzer components that can withstand an extremely corrosive saltwater environment. Currently, titanium coated with platinum or gold is usually required for such…
Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have garnered considerable attention as candidate materials for a number of applications, such as gas storage, molecular separation and catalysis, because their organic and inorganic components are highly tunable at the molecular level. Since being introduced…
An evolving threat landscape for plant security is attracting more attention to the development of operational technology (OT)-specific cybersecurity programs, underlining the importance of collaboration and blurring the line between cyber- and physical security Cybersecurity threats against critical infrastructure sites,…
The AM8300 servomotors expand this company’s portfolio to include a modular motor series with integrated water cooling (photo). Due to the efficient cooling, an extremely high power density is achieved, so that a rated power of up to 40 kW…
Standard load cells enable mechanical dosing with an accuracy ranging from 0.2 to 1%. This means that you can accurately dose 10 kg down to 20–100 g or 1,000 kg down to 2–10 kg. However, for mixing small product volumes,…
Understanding that viable strategies exist to protect essential cooling and heating systems from corrosion is a crucial step in ensuring proper asset protection Several years ago, a manufacturing plant was forced to unexpectedly shut down one of its main production…
This company has custom-engineered an integrated sifter and bag-break station that automatically removes foreign matter and captures nuisance dust. Set above a top-loading batch mixer, the powder-handling system features an AFC Dump Clean bag-break station (photo) that continuously draws any…
