Learn how Enhanced Coriolis Control (ECC) helps you avoid common measuring errors

  Enhanced Coriolis Control (ECC) mitigates the negative impact of high gas content in your measurement of liquids   One of the most common reasons for measuring errors in Coriolis mass flowmeters is the measurement of liquids with significant gas…

INEOS Enterprises to sell sulfur dioxide business to Ecovyst

INEOS Enterprises has agreed to sell its shares in INEOS Calabrian, its ultra-pure sulfur dioxide and derivatives business, to Ecovyst Inc. (Malvern, Pa.).  INEOS Calabrian operates manufacturing sites in Port Neches, Texas, USA and Timmins, Ontario, Canada. Completion is expected…

GEA launches meVap® family to electrify industrial heat and accelerate decarbonization

In industrial plants, the biggest climate gains are often hidden in plain sight. Behind every evaporation step, every distillation column and every crystallization line lies a constant demand for heat — and with it, a major opportunity to cut emissions.…

Electrochemical-redox process expands recycling potential for LFP batteries

Lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries offer a compelling combination of performance characteristics for stationary energy storage, including improved safety and longevity, when compared to other lithium battery chemistries, such as nickel- and cobalt-based formulations. However, there are limited recycling pathways dedicated to…

Unique support boosts single-atom indium catalysis of CO2-to-methanol reaction

Synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide is among the key goals for net-zero-CO2 production of chemicals and fuels. Previous investigation has suggested that indium oxide could serve as an effective catalyst for this reaction, but the structural details of the…

Gas-fed, solid-state electrolyzer could allow ethylene from waste-derived syngas

Conventional ethylene production via steam cracking of ethane or naphtha leads to the emission of 1 ton of CO2 for every ton of ethylene produced. Given the carbon intensity of the process and the annual volume of ethylene produced (300…

Facts At Your Fingertips: Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers

Flexible intermediate bulk containers (fIBCs) are large, collapsible woven containers designed for transporting and storing of dry, flowable materials, such as powders, grains and granules, in industrial settings. This one-page reference summarizes the available options for flexible IBCs. Normally made…

Refiners Pursue Flexibility Amid Economic Headwinds

Petroleum refiners are taking steps to support and increase operational flexibility and business agility as logistical challenges and economic headwinds build, and policy certainty is difficult to find Amid the current economic climate, business agility and operational flexibility have emerged…
