This monthly e-newsletter is sent to a targeted database determined by the subject matter of each technical report.
The April e-newsletter will cover Solids Handling and deploy April 9.

Summary: This two-part Feature Report covers two aspects of operations involving solids handling. Part 1 provides an overview of pelletization and agglomeration processes and equipment. Part 2 discusses the maintenance of conveying systems for bulk solids.
Related equipment and services:  All solids handling equipment, including chutes, bins, hoppers, feeders, conveying systems, pneumatic conveying systems, agglomeration equipment, milling machines, screeners and more
Relevant industries:  Chemicals, specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, food and feed, mining, biomass and more

Summary:  Water is sometimes an afterthought in manufacturing processes, and the water provided by a local municipality contains impurities that can have adverse effects on the equipment and the end products in applications that demand high purity. This two-part Feature Report on high-purity water will review how water is purified, why high levels of purity are needed and the range of technologies that purify water, as well as specific market applications for different water-quality levels, and the materials that are compatible with processes that handle high-purity water.
Related equipment and services: Any type of equipment used for water purification processes, including deionization, ultrafiltration and so on; piping, tubing and fittings, as well as associated components for high-purity applications; laboratory equipment
Relevant industries: High-purity water is necessary in many research and development and laboratory applications, as well as the manufacture of specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage products.

Summary: Major new ethane crackers are being built and starting up to take advantage of inexpensive shale-gas liquid feedstocks. This month's Newsfront looks at the latest cracking technologies and details the efforts to meet the feedstock needs of the petrochemical and chemical industries. The article will also look at the use of plastic waste as feedstock to supplement the C2-rich feed to boost the yield of C3 and C4 olefins, as well as new furnace technologies that may someday take advantage of renewable energy sources.
Related equipment and services: Catalysts, furnaces, engineering and construction services, distillation columns and internals and more
Relevant industries: Catalytic crackers are used at all major chemical and petrochemical companies for making base chemicals, as well as at petroleum refineries.

Topic: Detection systems for reducing the risk of hydrogen fires
Summary: While playing an indispensable role in many processes, hydrogen poses a unique and potentially significant threat to chemical processing facilities. The challenge with using hydrogen in chemical plants and other industrial settings, however, is that this nontoxic and seemingly harmless gas has highly reactive and explosive properties. This month's Environmental Manager provides practical information on selecting the proper equipment to detect and respond to hydrogen-related hazards.
Related equipment and services:  Hydrogen detectors, flame detectors, hydrogen sensors and monitors and more.
Relevant industries: Many sectors of the CPI use significant amounts of hydrogen, including petroleum refining, petrochemicals, edible oils and fats, pharmaceuticals, iron and steel making, and more.
