Thermal Analysis of Petrochemicals

Despite the promise of target-based drug discovery ushered in by the genomics era, no mechanistically novel rationally designed antibiotic has reached clinically utility to address the threat of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens. Phenotypic screening remains the primary source for new antibacterial compounds, which mainly come from mining various chemical libraries. In this webinar, Carl Balibar (Merck Research Laboratories) discussed screen design, target bias, and hit-prioritization strategies to identify those entities with the greatest opportunity to be developed into the next new antibiotic.

Without mobile water and wastewater treatment systems, end users across all industries would incur sever service disruptions, regulatory non-compliance issues, and an inability to cater to agile needs for mobile activity in select industries, such as Oil & Gas. The critical nature of products and services in this market presents growth opportunities at all levels. Despite three key market participants, GE Water & Process Technologies, Evoqua, and MPW Industries, the range of technologies used and low customer loyalty present market openings for many organizations. Those that cater to industry needs and understand their demands can make strong inroads in the future.

What will digitization change in chemical manufacturing? What are the new digital technologies that will help improving asset management, process control, and process optimization in the chemical industry? How do predictive maintenance, old equipment retrofitting and digital process twins actually look like ? We discuss these and other topics in a 45´webcast.

Removal of iron oxides/sulfides (black powder) in natural gas feeds to ethylene and ammonia plants is a key challenge in the petrochemical and chemical industries. Equally challenging is the removal of water/brine from liquid feeds such as naphtha, propane and propylene. This webinar will review advanced filtration and separation technologies used to remove solid contaminants from gas feeds and water from liquid feeds. Emphasis will be placed on plant optimization and performance.
