Vioneo (Antwerp, Belgium) has awarded Wood plc (Aberdeen, Scotland) a multi-million dollar contract to deliver the front-end engineering design (FEED) for its revolutionary plant which will produce fossil-free plastics using green methanol. Based in Antwerp, Belgium, the renewably powered and…
Rotron CP and EN regenerative blowers (photo) are engineered to provide safety and efficiency in hazardous and corrosive environments. Constructed from aluminum, these blowers are naturally spark- and corrosion-resistant, distinguishing them from other blowers that are typically made of steel…
A pilot project completed at the end of last year demonstrated the ability of a technology to convert a range of feedstocks into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at lower cost than current ethanol-to-jet (ETJ) processes. Universal Fuel Technologies (UniFuel; Los…
A dual process strategy bridging fermentation and electrochemistry is enabling the production of mid-chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs) — important and valuable precursors to a number of products — using inexpensive organic waste streams from breweries, distilleries and dairies. Developed by…
Designed to deliver durability and emissions control, the FlexCore liquid-mounted seal flor floating-roof tank applications ensures a superior vapor-tight seal by combining a reliable foam-log core with Armor Fabric vapor-barrier seal fabric. This design not only reduces emissions and already…
The Flexim Fluxus/PIOX 731 Series (photo) is a new range of non-intrusive, clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters designed to offer flexibility, convenience and availability. The nine models in the 731 Series feature high-performance volumetric and mass-flow sensing technologies and a robust, functional…
Maintaining profitability amid considerable uncertainty in global trade, environmental policy and product demand is a daunting prospect for the U.S. refinery fleet A complex and somewhat unprecedented interplay of factors has been complicating investment and production strategies for U.S. petroleum…
Efficient and sustainable recycling of lithium-ion batteries is a crucial element in electrifying transportation. Black mass is a mixture of cathode and anode materials remaining after disassembly and shredding of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Many valuable materials, including lithium and…
Semiconductors are vital components in the modern technologies that we use in our everyday lives, both in industrial automation and consumer products. Computers, automobile electronics, smartphones and other “smart” devices, robotics and medical devices that depend on semiconductor chips are…
Wireless networking via 5G enables industrial companies to achieve fast communication, reliable data transmission, and flexible processes, for example in maintenance. The new explosion-proof Smart-Ex 203 smartphone (photo), first presented at the Hannover Messe 2025 tradefair, supports the use of…
