The latest addition to the Rotoform flagship chemical-solidification technology range is the Rotoform XG, a high-capacity pastillation system for fertilizer finishing. Designed for applications such as sulfur bentonite and urea mixes, as well as NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) and…
Electrochemical water-treatment technologies facilitate the adsorption of ions, effectively removing contaminants such as calcium, magnesium, bromine and more. Such processes, however, are often hampered by the high costs associated with electrode regeneration and the use of ion-exchange membranes. A new…
The search for a new ammonia-synthesis method has now driven research and development work underground, literally. Addis Energy (Somerville, Mass.; www.addisenergy.com) is launching a subsurface synthesis technology that takes advantage of geologic chemistry to produce ammonia. “Addis Energy’s process uses…
Ammonia manufacturing with carbon capture (blue ammonia) has emerged as the most practical near-term option for deep decarbonization of ammonia production. Evaluated here are eight technology configurations for decarbonization strategies with blue ammonia production Ammonia is increasingly viewed as an…
This article made available to you by: The troubleshooting methods described here can help engineers to understand operational realities when “running blind” in complex distillation processes One of the most critical aspects in ethanol production is the distillation unit. Distillation…
The chemical and physical properties of some solid materials render them prone to restricted flow and flow stoppages when discharging from bins and hoppers. This one-page reference outlines common solids-flow problems, as well as strategies and devices that can aid…
