Chemical Watch 2023 Global Outlook

The elemental analysis of petrochemical products such as crude oils, intermediate refinery products, automotive fuels, or modern lubricating oils is quite challenging. If you work with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP), the organic matrix of petrochemical products requires special attention during sample preparation and instrument adjustment. Here, X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) is really different and brings a lot of benefits to your lab, including simple sample preparation and elimination of daily re-calibrations. During this webinar, you will learn more about why sample preparation in XRF is so simple and straight forward and how the comprehensive XRF portfolio from Bruker can boost your sample throughput for such demanding applications. We will provide information that will help you to decide if an Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) or a Wavelength Dispersive XRF (WDXRF) instrument is the best choice for your specific petrochemical application.

If your products contain substances of very high concern (SVHCs) above thresholds set out by the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation, you risk losing access to European Union (EU) markets. Join Raj Takhar, Assent’s Subject Matter Expert, Materials Management and Chemical Reporting, and Roberto Crespi, Associate at Fieldfisher, as they explain what non-EU businesses need to know if they want to sell their products in the EU.

Join ioKinetic’s Michelle Murphy as she prepares you to complete the pre-planning, execution and follow-up tasks required by a NFPA-compliant dust hazards analysis.. This 60-minute ioKinetic-sponsored webinar focuses on how to meet the NFPA’s requirements for DHAs. You’ll learn how to generate and gather process safety information— including the appropriate dust characteristics to measure—choose a qualified DHA leader, staff your team, select a methodology to apply, evaluate process operations and building compartments, document the discussion, and follow up. While there is still time, take this opportunity to get up-to-speed on NFPA standards OSHA has referenced in violations and recommendations as generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP).

This Webinar will provide an overview and guidance on ventilation to prevent and dilute the formation of flammable hydrogen-air mixtures. Information will include a review of relevant standards, guidelines, and approaches to achieving effective dilution for potential design-basis hydrogen release scenarios. Existing applications and previous incidents will be discussed.
