When properly used, the hazardous area classification system makes for a safer work environment. Too often, however, hazard classes are specified without concern for the significantly higher design and procurement costs they bring. In many cases, an open mind and a little ingenuity can avoid excessive costs for compressors and other equipment, without compromising safety. This white paper explains hazardous classification systems commonly used in the chemical industry and outlines considerations for installing compressed air equipment in these areas

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.

At the height of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers around the world experienced a supply shortage related to alcohol-based hand sanitizer. As new producers entered the market, and existing manufacturers sought to ramp-up production to meet the growing demand, lower grades of ethanol and isopropanol (IPA) started to appear on the market. To ensure the safety and efficacy of hand sanitizer products, it is recommended that manufacturers test their products to ensure appropriate levels of active ingredients, as well as a means of ensuring label-claim accuracy. In this application note, an efficient and simple, “dilute and shoot” method for the analysis of IPA and ethanol in hand sanitizer products is detailed. With a run-time of only 5.36 minutes per sample, this method is ideal for operations requiring fast turnaround times that won’t disrupt the production of their products.
