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.

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.

Outstanding process technology Together with the proven furnace technology Linde offers a separation process which is based on a unique sequence with front-end hydrogenation and open loop heat pump driven C2 splitter. These cornerstones of Linde’s technology have been developed during 60 years in cryogenic separation of ethylene from gas mixtures. The separation technology of Linde is superior to other concepts and has been applied to improve the performance even in plants of competitive technologies.
