Hi everyone, I am interested in discussing the practical factors that should be considered when optimizing cement grinding aid dosage in a cement plant. In practice, the optimum dosage seems to vary significantly between different plants and cement types. Factors such as clinker grindability, cement fineness, mill ventilation, separator efficiency, cement temperature, gypsum content, and the type…

Axens S.A. (Rueil-Malmaison, France) has been awarded a contract by YPF S.A. (Buenos Aires, Argentina), a leading integrated downstream energy provider, for the implementation of a 5,000-m³/day low-sulfur diesel hydrotreater (DHT) unit at YPF’s (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Industrial Complex in Argentina, with Axens’ Prime-D™ technology. Axens (Rueil-Malmaison, France) will deliver the unit in prefa…

The new EcoPump GW iD series of gear metering pumps is suitable for a wide range of industrial coating applications that require precise volumetric delivery of consistent amounts of coating. With flowrates ranging from 9 to 900 mL/min, the pump can be adapted to different applications as required. In addition, the pump is compatible with […] The post New gear-type metering pump for industrial coa…

If anyone could defeat the “man of steel,” it would be a “man of stainless steel.” However, even stainless steel has its electrochemical kryptonite. Scientists have now created a new version of stainless steel that can withstand conditions only a “man of titanium” typically could, and without the cost, paving the way for more cost-effective green hydrogen production.

Need an expert opinion on the design of the sour water handling system. Is this design workable or not? As per the PFDs, a mixture of sour water and 50% hydrocarbons enters a three-phase separator operating at 185 psig and 120°F. The separator is provided with an LCV to control the liquid level. This LCV also reduces the pressure of the sour water from 185 psig to atmospheric pressure. After sepa…
