Dry Vacuum Technology for Chemical and Pharmaceutical Processes

February 24, 2023

Dry Vacuum Technology
Vacuum plays an essential role in chemical and pharmaceutical processes. Whether in vacuum conveying, inertization, distilling or drying processes, vacuum is used everywhere to make processes safer, faster and more economical or to make them possible in the first place.

Tata Chemicals North America

Tata Chemicals North America is one of the world's leading producers of high-quality soda ash. Headquartered in New Jersey, TCNA's manufacturing operations are based in Green River, Wyoming, USA. Tata Chemicals North America's (TCNA) Green River operation owes its existence to a huge prehistoric lake that existed about 50 million years ago. At that time, its fresh waters covered roughly 40,000 square miles of what is now southwestern Wyoming. This vast inland sea — called Gosiute Lake by geologists — occupied a portion of the Green River basin. Beginning in the early Eocene geologic period (approximately 35 million years ago) the fresh water lake shrank in size and became saline, expanded and then became fresh water again. As this lake expanded and then contracted, it laid down trona in sedimentary beds up to 37 feet thick and covering nearly 1,000 square miles.

While grab sampling in an industrial setting may represent a tiny fraction of a plant’s overall activities, its importance cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, sometimes the focus on sampling improvements only becomes critical after an incident, an accident or equipment failure. Sampling is an integral part of the manufacturing process, and a safe and reliable sampling regime can improve: Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Sample Quality, A plant’s bottom line.

LATIN AMERICA PETROCHEMICALS AND CHEMICALS 2019

whitePaper | November 27, 2019

In this challenging environment, it is key for petrochemical and chemical producers to be efficient and to manage closely their production and logistics chains. We live in a world of product abundance as a result of the shale gas revolution, so the market will be taken by those who can be the most competitive. In this respect, the region needs to take advantage of its geological potential, with the pre-salt fields in Brazil and Argentina’s Vaca Muerta developments, as well as Mexico’s injection of funds to Pemex to help the state-oil company recover its past grandeur.
