Accurate measurement in chlor-alkali electrolysis sub-processe
"Untouched since the ice age" is not a marketing slogan, but a fact - a real piece of the ice age that still exists today: When the ice melted, immense amounts of water drained away into the rock of the Swabian Alp mountains. The earth shifting in an unusual way then caused this reservoir to be sealed off approximately 400 meters below the outside world. As a result, EiszeitQuell has an original purity and quality - just like water over 10,000 years ago.
Users in process automation have the most to gain from insight through data from sensors and actuators. This is where the advanced physical layer for Ethernet, short Ethernet-APL comes in, the data highway to the field of process plants. Many questions must be answered when deploying Ethernet-APL for the first time. This article discusses topologies for Ethernet-APL that can be realized with currently available infrastructure components.

Brewers will often attribute their success to passion, determination and innovation, but once a beer has been developed and branded, it’s all about consistency. Process monitoring therefore has a key role to play. In the following article Keijo Pyörälä from Vaisala will explain how in-line refractometers, located strategically at every stage of the brewing process, enable process optimization, save energy, reduce waste, lower costs and help deliver top quality beer.
Modular components with EHEDG certification for use under harsh conditions
Coperion Partners in Development of Manufacturing Technologies for Graphite-Polymer Based Bipolar Plates
In Germany, 55 percent of final energy consumption goes towards heating and cooling. However, a lot of heat dissipates unused because it is not generated as and when required. Thermal storage using zeolite material allows heat to be stored for long periods of time without losing any. Fraunhofer researchers are now working on significantly improving the thermal conductivity of zeolites.

UK-based industrial consortium commences field trials for low-cost, sustainable inspection in hazardous environments using robotics for non-destructive testing system
The world is going digital - this applies to our private lives as well as to large parts of our work. In the process industries, the focus is often on end-to-end digital engineering, the analysis of big data, or the utilization of legacy data. But in what way can digitalization change daily work routines and increase work efficiency? A practical example is provided by the specialty chemicals company Lanxess, which has abandoned the classic clipboard, thus demonstrating very clearly what digitalization actually means and what benefits it offers.
We interviewed Andreas Hennecke, Pepperl+Fuchs Product Marketing Manager and Ambassador for Ethernet-APL about the development and possibilities of Ethernet-APL for the process industry.
Process plants are often very extensive. Many of the plant components are interlinked and their functions coordinated. People who work in this area of plant construction know that there is generally less effort and expense involved in building a new plant, rather than adapting the existing one to meet new requirements. Despite the numerous challenges – and the restrictions imposed by the Corona pandemic and its consequences – the new and renovated production reactors went into operation again right on schedule.
Reliable 24/7 access to oil-free compressed air is essential in the food industry. Regardless of the application, all machines must be sanitary to avoid potential contamination
