Venator Materials PLC (Wynyard, U.K.) announced that it has completed the sale of its Iron Oxide business to Cathay Industries. The enterprise value of the transaction was $140 million and Venator expects to receive cash proceeds of approximately $130 million…
As industry seeks to meet their net-zero commitments, captured CO2 must often be transported hundreds of miles to and from carbon-capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) hubs. The new CO2 Transportation Cloud application (app; photo) enables users to make data-driven decisions…
Safe and reliable transport for aggressive chemicals This company has expanded upon its proven line of SYGEF fluoropolymer piping solutions with ECTFE (ethylenechlorotrifluoroethylene), a copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene, for extreme chemical applications. When materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene…
Today’s process sensors provide a real-time data foundation for asset management and process optimization across the enterprise For many decades, industrial process sensors have been used across the chemical process industries (CPI) to measure common process variables, such as pressure,…
The Polaris line of inline process refractometers (photo) can be used for a broad range of industrial liquid-measurement applications. Used for inline liquid-concentration measurements, this process refractometer family is said to be the first fully in-house developed refractometer series that…
The CDA-200 multi-shaft mixer (photo) features a two-wing anchor agitator and two medium-speed agitators, each fit with five rows of three-blade pitched turbines. The mixer can be supplied with two portable stainless-steel mixing vessels and transport covers for semi-continuous operation,…
The ability to quantify liquid motion in a stirred tank is a basic step toward understanding how mixing influences process results. Quantifying mixing according to a mixing index (MI) can evaluate and predict mixing intensity related to fluid velocities in…
Bulk-solids handling is a critical aspect of many product manufacturing processes throughout the CPI, but the field is often underappreciated. Research centers that specialize in bulk-solids handling and particle technology are important resources for expanding knowledge and solving technical challenges…
For decarbonization of chemical processing sites, electrification opens a new world of efficiencies and cost benefits The industrial sector is responsible for one-third of the world’s end-use energy consumption, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA; Washington,…
Robert Fulton, Eli Whitney, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford — these are some of the larger-than-life figures who spring to mind when reflecting on the history of innovation and invention in the U.S. But the first person in American history to…
