This firm has developed and demonstrated a two-step process — using its kneader technology — for the direct devolatilization of temperature-sensitive elastomer-cement solutions. The process was developed to address some of the disadvantages of the conventional steam stripping process that has been in use for over 50 years. It has been estimated that the direct devolatilization process will reduce energy consumption by 76% when compared to the conventional steam stripping and drying process. It was also estimated that the consumption of water would be decreased by 66%. Hall 9, Stand C24 — List AG, Arisdorf, Switzerland
