A lot is being said about shale gas and fracking, here is an interesting article showing how it will change manufacturing practices all over the world:

In a large facility, like the one a specialty chemical company operates, there are often many opportunities for energy savings. Particularly, on the different types of process heating units.
Aluminum is infinitely recyclable, in fact 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.
On May 29th - 31st we will be presenting at the FMA Annual Progressive Energy, Environment and Sustainability Summit. This summits target owners, managers and operators of commercial, industrial, and retail facilities so that they may learn and understand how to better achieve and surpass their strategic goals of energy efficiency, usage, cost & environmental footprint reduction within their facilities.
According to NFPA-86, additional Solvent Vapor Analyzers can be installed onto a process to specifically control damper positions. By adding additional LFL Analyzers to safely automate the dampers, the amount of ventilation air needed to maintain a safe LFL level in an oven would be minimized...and what does this mean? You can save money. In fact often times, by automating damper controls on ovens, as much as a 50% reduction in fuel costs can be realized. So the cost of adding solvent vapor analyzers would be quickly recouped.
Responsible Care® is the Chemical Industry’s program that enables worldwide chemical companies to achieve high standards of performance and generate great value for their businesses.
The program pertains to some of these key areas of safety:
Employee Safety vs. Just Meeting Compliance standards? Which would you choose? And Why?
One of our customers that manufactures solvents, polymers and intermediary chemicals, was looking to meet specific requirements set by the state for flare stack operation. The area of concern was measuring BTUs. The solution was a reliable & proven analyzer.
Industrial manufacturing facilities use a variety of hazardous gases and solvents in their production processes. Whenever these substances are transported, processed or stored, the potential risks are high for hazardous conditions. These substances must be continuously monitored to protect personnel and facilities from accidental releases or leakage.
