A CATALYST FOR CHANGE T
he chemical sector is undergoing deep transformation on its journey to reduce emissions, adopt low-carbon solutions, and maintain competitiveness and profitability. Success is vital not only for chemical companies themselves, but for a whole value chain of industries including manufacturing and construction. Aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 is not the only pressure the sector faces from customers, government and society. Operators must meet stricter environmental and safety regulations while continuing to grow revenues; adopt new approaches such as indirect and direct electrification of
chemical processes; and contribute to carbon circularity by capturing and storing CO2, for example. Modernization of plants will be essential to achieve these goals. ABB is partnering with chemical companies to implement smart technology that will enable plants to meet government regulations, improve energy efficiency and open the door to new chemical initiatives, including a shift away from fossil fuels.

TITAN ENTERPRISES’ ULTRASONIC FLOW METER PERFORMS “GREAT” IN MICROGRAVITY
T
itan Enterprises’ flowmeters have been put through the wringer in various harsh environments, from high speed on an F1 racetrack, to deep mining and offshore oil rigs. Titan’s Process Atrato®
ultrasonic flow
meter is now taking a leap forward and proving to be ‘rock solid’ in tests within a totally unique environment - microgravity. Multiple space agencies and private space
companies around the world, such as Blue Origin, Nasa, Virgin Galactic, and SpaceX, continually explore new technologies and ways to solve specific issues encountered in ultra microgravity situations. NASA, for example, has conducted a number of laboratory experiments on the orbiting International Space Station to explore the effects of microgravity on water and other liquids. The investigation of fluid flow processes in low gravity or microgravity environs is hugely important, helping to improve processes essential in the production of plastics and other polymers, to manufacturing medicines and operating machines. In space, liquids behave very differently than on Earth, with processes that are usually masked by the Earth’s gravity becoming much more evident. For example, in microgravity, liquids held together by surface tension can achieve sizes much larger than liquids on the ground.

hermal solutions provider Watlow is hosting a webinar on the role of data in electrifying thermal processes. Taking place at 9:00 AM EST (2:00 PM BST) on 14 May 2024, the half-hour webinar will advise engineers on how to navigate the electric heat transition brought about by global decarbonisation trends.
With Deloitte data showing that a comprehensive Industry 4.0 strategy can boost business profitability, ‘Turning Up the Heat — Data’s Role in Electrifying Thermal Processes’ will equip engineers with the necessary knowledge to adopt data-driven heating systems. The online event will provide actionable insights for engineers in fields where process heating is essential, such as medical equipment, semiconductor processing and food manufacturing.
Attendees will be able to discover the benefits of using data analytics to support the integration of complete thermal systems, as well as gaining an understanding of the key components that should be monitored within the setup. There will also be the opportunity to explore case studies that show how data-led thermal systems can result in cost savings and increased uptime.
The webinar will be led by Chelsea Hogard, Engineering Team Leader for Watlow’s Industry 4.0 Development Team. With half a decade of engineering experience, Chelsea has delivered education sessions, carried out field service and researched advanced control methods. Her background in teaching maths, physics and engineering makes her well-suited to delivering data analytics training to help customers solve electric heating challenges.
“While global sustainability targets have made decarbonisation a key consideration across manufacturing and engineering, the electric transition also brings understandable concerns about its implications on processes,” explained Hogard.
“Watlow is committed to educating our customers on the importance of electrifying heating processes to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions. We want to challenge the perception that electrification challenges present a problem for industry and instead demonstrate how a data-informed approach can provide cost-saving and efficiency benefits.”
