Changing the nature of chemistry

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.

Analysis of Hand Sanitizers to Support Label Claims

whitePaper | April 30, 2021

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.

Hazardous Area Classification Considerations

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

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
