A guide to industrial AI and digital transformation
Written by: Jonas Berge, Senior Director of Applied Technology, Emerson The scope of automation in refineries, petrochemical complexes, and other plants today is much broader than just core process control. Now it includes improving safety, sustainability and reliability – over and above production – as plants must achieve operational excellence, without increasing their workforces. The […]
Case Study: Material transition to aerogel insulation leads to energy efficiency and improved thermal management

Introduction Historically, insulation was considered less critical compared to other equipment in an oil and gas plant. In the recent decade, that traditional mindset is fast changing, as facility operators who persistently use conventional insulation materials are witnessing rampant corrosion and rising annual energy demand affecting the operational efficiency of their assets. On the other […]

Chemical Recycling: Axens Accompany you from Concept to Reality

Written By: Ms. Anabel Paco The rising demand for plastics presents two main challenges: the environmental impact of production and waste, and the reliance on fossil resources. Enhancing plastic waste management through reducing, reusing, and recycling is crucial. Recycling plastics reduces the need for fossil resources and maximizes waste utilization. Most recycled plastics come from […]
