Arco Chemical licenses its Superflex propylene process
Article Abstract:
Arco Chemical Co. of Newtown Square, PA, has awarded an exclusive license for use of its Superflex technology to M.W. Kellogg Technology Co. of Houston, TX. Superflex technology, which enhances the production of propylene from low-value olefins [;amt amd refomeru streams, uses a proprietary zeolite catalyst and has been tested by Arco, which is a major user of propylene. Kellogg reports the new technology should be used in viable regions where propylene demand is high and demand for C4, C5 and light gasoline products is low.

Demystifying mist eliminator selection
Article Abstract:
Collection efficiency, pressure drop and durability are the three factors that mus be considered when choosing mist eliminators. The collector must be designed correctly to attain the desired collection efficiency and comply with emission requirements. Collection efficiency is dependent upon particle size distribution, gas velocity, mist loading, density and viscosity. On the other hand, operating pressure drop is a function of gas velocity, viscosity, density and surface tension.

Ultrasound makes waves in the CPI
Article Abstract:
Ultrasound technology is being used by more companies in the chemical process industries. Commercial applications of sound energy has led to less use of and the development of environmentally friendlier chemicals. Ultrasonic equipment companies that have benefitted from stronger sales to the chemical process industries include Advanced Sonic Processing Systems, a manufacturer of vibrating trays, troughs and continuous reactors, and Telsonic USA Inc, a manufacturer 6-kW resonators.
