SULZER AIDS BLUE PLANET CARBON INITIATIVE
Sulzer Chemtech is now playing a key role in the development and optimisation of Blue Planet’s mineralisation process for carbon capture, utilisation and storage solutions. The ground-breaking process will leverage Sulzer’s carbon reduction technologies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial activities, for example, by supporting the cement industry to produce carbon neutral or carbon-negative concrete.
system mineralises the CO2
Blue Planet is developing a profitable and sustainable CCUS system that captures CO from a variety of emission sources, including power, steel, cement, refining, and direct air capture. The to

form highly sustainable synthetic limestone aggregates, this is done by sequestering the CO2
in
a solid form to be incorporated in concrete. Aggregate accounts for up to 90 per cent of concrete and is the most used building material worldwide. Given the fact that aggregates in concrete are bound by cement, a rather significant emissions contributor, with this process the CO2
footprint
of cement in the concrete is offset. Sulzer’s carbon capture unit will be a key enabler in Blue Planet’s process when it is installed at a pilot plant in California. It will capture emissions from a natural gas-fired power plant. The facility will provide high CO2
absorption performance while
maintaining low energy consumption. CEO Brent R. Constantz, said: “Sulzer Chemtech is an ideal partner to help us meet our goal of delivering cost and energy-efficient plants.”

DMN-WESTINGHOUSE UNVEILS ROTARY VALVE FOR FOOD PROCESSING
DMN-Westinghouse has introduced a rotary valve for the food processing industry intended specifically for dosing dry products and ingredients. The MZC-II rotary valve means that the company, which is based in Noordwijkerhout, Netherlands, will now have the ability to set new standards in everything from functionality to hygiene, safety and maintenance. It is an upgrade of the MZC rotary valve that they
created 25 years ago for use in the food and dairy sectors. CEO Wim Korndorffer explained the advantages
when he said: “This significantly reduces the risk of downtime due to damage and adjustment problems. “Because we have taken significant steps in the field of hygiene, safety and efficiency during the periodic cleaning and maintenance activities, we can make an important contribution to the further improvement of productivity, safety, and quality for our customers in the dry bulk industry, from pharmaceuticals through to dairy and from paint to cosmetics.” |
