Activated Carbon for Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Processes

May 12, 2015

Activated carbon has also proven itself as a superior adsorbent in pharmaceutical processing applications where highly effective filtration systems are required. The key factor for carbons used for these purposes is purity and performance. This ensures soluble minerals with low acid content, which reduces contamination of the final product with no influence on solution pH.

Silicone-Base Coating Mitigates Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) In Petrochemical Plants

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is one of the costliest problems in the petrochemical industry. It also presents a high degree of potential danger. CUI occurs when moisture mixed with contaminants infiltrates insulation, encouraging the development of corrosion cells on the steel underneath. This paper demonstrates how Sherwin-Williams Heat-Flex® High-Temp 1200 withstands temperature fluctuations, thermal shock and other upset conditions to protect against hidden CUI.

Dry Vacuum Technology for Chemical and Pharmaceutical Processes

whitePaper | February 24, 2023

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.

Changing the nature of chemistry

whitePaper | January 30, 2020

Our first pilot plant uses the Dawn technology to convert non-food biomass like wood chips or agricultural waste into industrial sugars and lignin. These sugars are turned into chemical feedstocks to make plastics. Currently, we are building a second demonstration plant, which converts sugar into plant-based mono-ethylene glycol (MEG), which is used in the production of chemicals and plastics. A building block for the production of bioplastics in Chemical Cluster Emmen. It can be used to produce 100% bio-PET.

Advanced Recycling: Seizing the Circular Plastics Opportunity

whitePaper | March 11, 2022

Our modern way of life would not be possible without plastics. However, better post-use management of plastic products is required, and we need to move to a circular economy for plastics that recognizes plastics as a resource or feedstock, not a waste.
