cleaners, disinfectants and detergents for commercial and

industrial applications, as well as soaps, lotions, shower gels

pumps didnt live up to expectations in two areas pumping

high-viscosity liquids against pressure air consumption and noise

generation. Langguth Chemie now employs eight next-generation

AODD pumps in its container-filling operation, even though they

have a higher purchase price than the old pumps. That higher

price is negated by air consumption, maintenance and downtime

Munich-based multi-national conglomerate

Siemens AG is the largest engineering company inEurope, and soon, perhaps in the world, once U.S.-

based General Electric completes divestment of its

banking and other finance operations.

In fiscal 2014 Siemens generated revenues of nearly

72 billion euros from continuing operations. In that

same year, it contributed to the livelihoods of about

343,000 employees in more than 200 countries.

Its a very serious company. But, then again,

imagine how much fun it must be to work some-place that claims its all about electrification, auto-

mation and digitalization.

That same kind of work-and-play mix was evi-

dent at the 20th annual Siemens Automation Sum-

mit, held in Las Vegas June 22 to 25.

Listening to Siemens executives talk about digitali-

zation of the process industries reinforces the notion

that the central challenge remains just the integrating

of the disparate technology generations and layers.And theres no getting around the fact that one of the

best ways to address it is with a holistic infrastructure.As Peter Herweek, CEO, process industries &

drives div., recently said, we provide a unique inte-

grated portfolio, comprising hardware, software and

services across the entire life cycle.

Integrated engineering reduces error sources by

minimizing interfaces amongst disciplines, enforc-ing workflow and allowing parallel processes.

To go from engineering to integrated operations

entails consistent updating of plant data as if

you were creating a digital twin, says Herweek.

You have much better equipment maintenance

data, and an operations intelligence platform for

better decision making based on indicators like

plant utilization, raw-material availability, and pro-

duction throughput and product quality.In the very recent past a control system con-

cerned itself almost solely with things like level,

pressure, temperature and flow. Now its a 360-de-

gree environment, e.g., with capabilities related to

energy management, condition monitoring and

tele-control all part of the package.

For engineering, its all about the process model,

which is top-down, collaborative and on-line, with

views that include the plants technological hierar-chy and simulation embedded in the engineering

workflow.

ASIA

Chinese authorities are said to be looking for ways to respond to cli-

mate change swiftly and effectively, turning their attention towards frack-

ing and other non-conventional methods for energy production in the

hope that the country will be able to radically reduce coal use.

Chinas energy generation mostly relies on coal, but as its economy

has developed rapidly in recent years the demand for energy has also in-

creased, resulting in China becoming the largest carbon dioxide polluter

in the world. Air quality in the country has also dramatically deteriorated,

putting the lives of millions at risk, The Scientific Americanreports. These

factors have been the main driving forces for the Chinese government to

actively seek alternatives.

Reserves of shale gas are bountiful under the vast territory of the

country but extracting it may prove more difficult that it might other-

wise seem. It requires expertise and infrastructure, neither of whichis available in the Asian state. But helping fracking in China to lift off

is of international importance too, so the United States has teamed

up with China in pursuit of a common strategic interest, according to

David Sandalow, an inaugural fellow at Columbia Universitys Center on

Global Energy Policy.

Official Chinese figures show that the estimated amount of recoverable

shale gas is 25 trillion cubic meters, extracted from eight basins. But the

U.S. Department of Energy has calculated that Chinas reserves could be

about 36 trillion cubic meters, compared to 24 trillion cubic meters in the

United States. Clearly, if regulation allows it, China could turn into the

worlds largest shale gas producer, The Scientific American concludes.

BASF starts construction

BASF has started building a new chemical catalysts manufacturing plantat its existing site in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park in China, in an

effort to meet growing Chinese and Asian market demand.

The chemical company said on June 18 that the new plant will be its

first process catalysts manufacturing facility in the Asia Pacific region. It

will produce base metal catalysts, custom catalysts and adsorbents, which

are used in the production of fatty alcohols, sulfuric acid and butanediol

and for the removal of impurities from olefins.

The plant design is said to be highly automated and energy efficient. Itoffers the opportunity for future expansion and the flexibility to adapt to

new customer production requirements in the years ahead.

Commenting at this weeks groundbreaking ceremony, Detlef Ruff,

BASFs senior vice president for Process Catalysts, said that the new facil-

ity in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park would strengthen the com-

panys manufacturing footprint in Asia Pacific and improve its proximityto customers in the fastest growing region for its base metal and custom

catalysts solutions.

Manufacturing activities at the new plant are planned to start in the

fourth quarter of 2016.

ASIA


Shale gas continued

AkzoNobel hopes its planned EUR30 million invest-

ment in a manufacturing facility in Thailand will help

strengthen its position as a supplier within the country.

The Amsterdam-based multinational says the invest-

ment will support regional growth of its performance

coatings business, as it looks to capitalize on an upturn

in business in Asia since the turn of the decade.

The Thailand Board of Investment-supported

project comprises constructing a 120,000m2site

within the Hemaraj Eastern Seaboard Industrial Es-

tate in Chonbu.

AkzoNobel estimates that the facility will initially

yield 45,000 tons per year, with production ex-

pected to start in the third quarter of 2016.

The plant will provide for a number of perfor-

mance coatings businesses, including metal coat-

ings, protective coatings, specialty coatings and

marine coatings, as well certain products from the

companys decorative paints business.

By investing in this new facility we are support-

ing our continued growth within Thailand, as well

as making progress with our regional business ex-

pansion strategy, said AB Ghosh, managing direc-

tor of AkzoNobels metal coatings business.

Conrad Keijzer, the companys executive commit-

tee member responsible for performance coatings,

explained why it is making the bold move in Thai-

land: Our business in Asia has experienced strong

growth during the last several years. As demand and

volumes continue to rise, the new site will enable us

to better serve our customers whenever and wher-

ever they need our products.

Langguth Chemie GmbH, Konigsbrunn, Germany, was founded in

1963 by Rudolf Langguth. The company produces cleaners, disinfec-

tants and detergents for commercial and industrial applications, as well

as soaps, lotions, shower gels and hand sanitizers. In addition to its own

brands, it furnishes private-label brands.

The future of Langguth Chemie, however, came into question in 1993

when Rudolf Langguth passed away. Rudolfs son, Klaus Langguth,

stepped in and continues to operate the company.

This company started as a one-man operation, so we had somestruggles with my fathers illness and death, says Klaus Langguth, who is

today the companys managing director. We develop everything on our

own, manufacture everything on our own. We buy only raw materials and

develop the product, test the product and sell the product to our distribu-

tors and private-label partners.

Filled with frustration

Langguth Chemie also faced challenges in optimizing cost-effectiveness

of its production and product-transfer operations. Of concern was pack-aging where finished cleaners, detergents, disinfectants, soaps, lotions,

etc., are pumped from 6,000-liter holding tanks into containers which

generally range in size from 5 to 10 liters before being shipped to the

end-user.

Pumps transfer exact volumes while operating reliably in demanding

start/stop conditions. Pumps inject the appropriate volume and then stop

immediately, a challenge in these operations.For years, Langguth Chemie used plastic air-operated double-diaphragm

(AODD) pump technology. But the pumps didnt live up to expectations in

two areas pumping high-viscosity liquids against pressure air consump-

tion and noise generation.

We needed a reliable pump system that has high suction capabili-

ties when pumping against pressure, with high-viscosity liquids, and that

At Langguth Chemie, pump solution optimizes filling operations while reducing noise

Prior to its current installation a number of plastic AODD pumps failed in the continuous-dutycontainer-filling operations.

EUROPE Langguth Chemie continued

wouldnt get dry when pumping out of containers, explains Langguth.

We tried other pumps, but they took too much air in order to work, and

they were loud, difficult to maintain and unreliable.

Complete commitment

Part of PSG, a Dover Co., Almatec is a leading brand of AODD

pumps, manufactured in PSGs Kamp-Lintfort, Germany, facility.

E-Series air-operated double-diaphragm pumps are a next-generation

technology that has replaced Almatecs standard-setting A-Series AODD

pump line. Advances include a diaphragm-sized ring on each side of the

pump that allows a series of housing bolts to be tightened against the

housing, resulting in a more even spreading of housing-bolt force; anoptimized flow pattern that decreases resistance and increases energy ef-

ficiency; and the use of less air to achieve the same level of flow.

Langguth Chemie employs eight E40 models in its container-filling

operation, even though they have a higher purchase price than the old

pumps. That higher price is negated by air consumption, maintenance and

downtime cost reduction.

The mechanical parts are more stable in these pumps. They hold the

air pressure better and longer so the air consumption is lower, Langguth

says. Its a theoretical level of 50% less air consumption and I think inpractical usage we are receiving, without any effect on flow rates, a 30%

to 50% increase in seal-ability. The old pumps needed too much air, about

double what the Almatec needs. With the old pumps we were probably

going to need a new compressor.

About those pumps

E40 pumps feature solid-block polyethylene (PE) construction (as op-

posed to the molded-plastic construction of the older pumps), have a 38

mm port size, dry-suction lift of up to 4 m, wet-suction lift to 9.5 m, maxi-mum operating pressures of 7 bar and can function with fluid temperatures

up to 70C. Standard diaphragms are PTFE (Teflon), but after several

months of use, Langguth Chemie has determined that the same, if not

higher, level of pump performance can be achieved with the incorporation

of EPDM diaphragms.

When handling soaps and other cleaners, oftentimes the ingredients

are surfactants that can crack plas-

tic, which is something we alwayshad to watch out for, Langguth

says. The EPDM diaphragms are

working well so far.

The E40 pump advantage is ap-

parent when you enter the filling

room you can comfortably carry

on a conversation.

Everyone is happy with the

quieter pumps. The noise is 300percent less, says Langgueth.

Theres about seven pumps run-

ning at one time and just one of

the previous pumps made more

noise than the seven Almatecs all

running at once.

Harald Vogl is a Regional Sales Manager Germany for Almatec and

PSG. Mr. Vogl can be reached at [email protected].

Almatec is a leading brand of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD)

pumps from PSG, a Dover Company. Headquartered in Oakbrook Terrace,

Illinois, USA, PSG is comprised of several of the worlds leading pump brands.

AODD Pumps are a solution for Langguth Chemie

because they meet the demands of stop/start

continuous-duty pumping applications while

consuming less air and generating less noise.

First greenfield fuel refinery built inUS in 40 years now in operation

A new refinery in North Dakota is the first

greenfield fuel refinery built in the United

States in nearly 40 years.

Joint owners MDU Resources Group, Inc.

and Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P.

recently held an opening ceremony for the

Dakota Prairie refinery. The facility, whichstarted operating in May, can process 20,000

barrels per day of Bakken crude oil. It is cur-

rently supplying about 7,000 barrels per day

of diesel fuel, helping to offset North Da-

kotas need to import nearly two-thirds of its

diesel supply.

This facility will help improve the states diesel supply, and over time

has the potential to be an important contributor to the economic growth

of the local and state economy, commented Dave Goodin, MDU Re-sources president and CEO.

The Dakota Prairie diesel refinery is helping us process crude right in

the heart of our states oil producing region, added North Dakota U.S.

Senator John Hoeven.

In addition to diesel, the Dakota Prairie refinery is producing up to

6,500 bpd of naphtha, which is used as a diluent to transport heavy oil

by pipeline and as a feedstock in gasoline. It

is also producing 6,000 bpd of atmospheric

tower bottoms, which can be used as a feed-

stock for lubricating oils and other refined

products.

The refinery has about 80 full-time em-

ployees and operates 24 hours a day, sevendays a week.

CB&I to build ethylene facility

Energy infrastructure company CB&I is

to construct an ethylene storage facility in

Markham, Texas, for Ingleside Ethylene. The

engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract is valued at ap-

proximately $115 million. Announcing the project award, CB&I said that it

covers the surface facilities including compression, dehydration, meter-ing and associated pipe fabrication at the salt cavern storage location.

The storage facility is integral with an ethylene cracker under construc-

tion in Ingleside, Texas. CB&I agreed previously to provide the license

for the ethylene technology, five SRT (short residence time) cracking

heaters and the engineering, procurement and construction of the ethyl-

ene cracker.

Ingleside Ethylene is a joint venture between Mexican chemical and pet-

rochemical group Mexichem and Occidental Chemical Corp. (OxyChem), a

subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corp.

The $1.5 billion ethylene cracker is being built at OxyChems existing

Ingleside site, with pipelines and storage in Markham. It will have cracking

furnaces with selective catalytic reduction technology to produce 1.2 billion

pounds of ethylene per year, chemicals-technology.com reported.

The ethylene cracker is a significant project both for OxyChem and

Mexichem, and the award of this project reflects the quality of work CB&I

has provided to date, commented Patrick K. Mullen, president of CB&Is

Engineering & Construction operating group.

Shell looks to build

Shell Chemical has agreed to buy a 1,000-acre site in Pennsylvanias Bea-

ver County, where it plans to build an ethane cracker complex.

The site, located off the Ohio River in Potter Township, was previously

home to a zinc smelter facility owned by Horsehead Holding Corp. Finan-

cial details of the transaction were not disclosed, but reports suggested that

Shell paid $13.5 million for the land.

Shell has drawn up plans to construct a large ethane cracker plant, which

would process locally produced ethane from shale gas production into pet-

rochemical products, including polyethylene.

Shell has not yet made a final decision on whether it will go ahead with the

multi-billion dollar project, although the company has started development

work at the site, demolishing the zinc plant and working on relocating power

lines that run through the property, the Pittsburgh Business Timesreported.

The land purchase is a necessary step for Shell to advance the permit-

ting process and allows us to proceed with some preliminary site develop-

ment work, Shell spokesman Michael Marr explained.

A final investment decision will only be made once the required permits

have been secured, he said.

The site is well situated, with access to liquid-rich natural gas resources

and water, road and rail transportation infrastructure and power grids, as

well as sufficient land to accommodate facilities and space for potential

future expansion, chemicals-technology.com reported.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

wants to create additional opportunities for

growth in renewable plant-based materials.

The industry already generates substantial

economic activity and American jobs, Agricul-

ture Secretary Tom Vilsack said on June 17. A

new report says that in 2013 alone the biobased

products industry contributed 4 million jobs

and $369 billion to the U.S. economy.

Today, we are adding to the number of

innovative products carrying USDAs BioPre-

ferred label and expanding options for our na-

tions bio-refineries, Vilsack announced. This

means small businesses and global companies

alike can continue to harness the power of

Americas farms and forests to create new and

innovative biobased products that are used all

around the world.

The updated BioPreferred program rules

will no longer exclude mature market products.

That means more innovative wood prod-

ucts and other materials will carry the USDA

BioPreferred label. Forest products that meet

biobased content requirements, regardless of

market share the product holds, age of product,

or whether the market for the product is new or

emerging, will also now meet the definition of

biobased product.

Other considerations

USDA is also making improvements to its

bio-refinery, renewable chemical, and biobased

product manufacturing assistance program (the

former bio-refinery assistance program), which

provides loan guarantees of up to $250 million

for the construction and retrofitting of com-

mercial scale bio-refineries and biobased prod-

uct manufacturing facilities.

Bio-refineries that receive funding will now

be allowed to produce more renewable chemi-

cals and other biobased products, and not pri-

marily advanced biofuels. Additionally, biobased

product manufacturing facilities will be eligible

to convert renewable chemicals and other bio-

based outputs of bio-refineries into end-user

products. The new regulations also implement a

streamlined application process, USDA said.

The use of biobased products in the United

States currently displaces an estimated 300 mil-

lion gallons of petroleum per year, which is

equivalent to taking 200,000 cars off the road.

Fifteen opportunities on five continentsIn recent months around 250 sustainability experts

across five continents identified fifteen opportunities

to address five major global risks. The results will help busi-nesses and governments, and be published next February in the second

edition of the Global Opportunity Report.

The initiative is from the UN Global Compact, DNV GL and the

Monday Morning Global Institute.

Risk requires systematic and comprehensive response. Thence a myriad

of opportunities for building better societies and businesses arise. After

identifying a set of sustainable responses to risks, the Global Opportunity

Network will survey over 5,000 public and private sector leaders. The re-

sulting guide to the greatest global opportunities will be published in theFebruary 2016 report.

The 2015 Global Opportunity Report helped inspire global change-

makers to adopt a new mindset. Its published findings indicated business

leaders have strong confidence in their own ability to turn sustainability

challenges such as water scarcity and the vagaries of fossil fuels into busi-

ness opportunities, particularly in manufacturing and finance in emerging

economies.

First report resultsThat report was based on a survey and consultations with more than

6,000 public and private sector leaders in over 21 countries. The report

confirms that there has been a turning point, where private sectors are

now a critical driver of sustainable development, with emerging econo-

mies in the front seat, says Georg Kell, executive director of UN Global

Compact.

The report identifies and ranks 15 sustainability opportunities according

to public and private sector interest and potential impact on societies and

business. Additionally, the report identifies more than 120 readily avail-able solutions.

Asked about future prospects, business leaders see untapped and prof-

itable opportunities especially in handling and providing solutions to

address water scarcity and to promote green consumer choices. Overall,

water-efficient agriculture is the opportunity that inspires most confi-

dence among the leaders.

Opportunities related to fossil fuels also were assessed positively. The

most favored opportunity here is green consumer choices. This includes

innovations to change consumer behavior to increased uptake of renew-able energy in households or a growing selection of consumer products

made with the use of renewables.

The public sector is expected to play an important role in realizing

many of the opportunities described in the report, especially those that

are regulation-oriented. Nevertheless, public sector respondents were

consistently less optimistic than the private sector about how the op-

portunities can positively affect society and their capacity to pursue these

opportunities.

Succeeding generations

However, the Global Opportunity Report indicates that this scenario is

likely to change.

For leaders below 30 years of age, female leaders and leaders in emerg-

ing economies in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and South America, regulated

energy transition and smart water regulation are the top-ranking sustain-

ability opportunities.I believe that one of the most interesting findings in the report is how

young leaders under 30 years of age, people in emerging economies and

also women embrace regulation as a strong tool for sustainable change,

says Henrik O. Madsen, Group CEO and President of DNV GL.

Emerging economies are especially ready to pursue market opportuni-

ties associated with sustainability challenges. The report shows that the

manufacturing sector especially in China is most confident in their

ability to address sustainability barriers and deliver profits and prosperity

in return.

Regionally, China is the most optimistic in the survey with 48 percent

showing great confidence in sustainability opportunities, followed by

India with 44 percent and South America 37 percent. Europe is the leastoptimistic with only 23 percent, making it the most cautious region when

it comes to belief in development associated with sustainability.

The Global Opportunity Report and the global survey will be con-

ducted annually.
