As a pillar of the global economy, the process industry is facing major challenges: high energy consumption and high use of fossil fuels, rising energy costs and stricter legal regulations make the decarbonization of the industry increasingly urgent. In order to achieve CO2 reductions and higher energy efficiency in their own operations, it is essential that companies drive the digitalization and automation of their entire production process. Author: Axel Lorenz, CEO Process Automation, Siemens
The use of conventional analysis equipment in hazardous areas is complicated due to a lack of approvals. Equipment without ATEX or IECEx certification must be specially protected so that it does not act as an ignition source. At the same time, analysis equipment is essential for many processes. For example, for testing the purity of hydrogen at hydrogen refuelling stations.

When older equipment starts to affect the output from the power plant – operators need to act fast, to avoid production risks escalating. This is especially true for legacy pumps. However, sourcing new units to fit the surrounding infrastructure and application requirements of the plant can be challenging.
Avelino Corma Canós is being recognised on 4 July in Valencia for his work on synthetic catalysts to improve chemical reactions. His inventions are used today in the energy, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries among others. Corma is the inventor or co-inventor behind nearly 200 European patent applications and co-founded the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), a joint centre from the Universitat Politècnica de València and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC).
