The chemical industry involves the production of chemicals and their derivatives, which are used in a wide range of applications from agriculture to manufacturing. This industry converts raw materials such as oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, and minerals into thousands of different products.
Key Processes in the chemical industry are:
• Chemical Synthesis
• Distillation
• Catalysis
In these processes, diaphragm seal systems are often used to measure pressure or level due to their harsh process conditions. This can be due to the elevated temperature, the requirement for corrosion resistant materials or special designs to affront the high pressures that might occur.
Fertilizers are food for plants and provide nutrients for plants to grow and thrive. They are used across the globe to support sustainable agricultural production, and it is estimated that half the food we eat is produced thanks to mineral fertilizers.
In the fertilizer industry, there are processes that are crucial for producing nitrogen-based fertilizers.
These key processes are:
• Ammonia Synthesis Process
• UREA Fertilizer Synthesis
• Nitric Acid (NA) Fertilizer Production
• Ammonia Nitrate (AN) Fertilizer Production
In these processes, diaphragm seal systems are often used to measure pressure or level due to their harsh process conditions. This can be due to the elevated temperature, the requirement for corrosion resistant materials or special designs to affront the high pressures that might occur.
The carbon capture industry focuses on technologies and processes that capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from sources like power plants and industrial facilities before they are released into the atmosphere. This captured CO₂ is then either stored underground in geological formations or utilized in various industrial processes.
Key Process in this industry:
• Molten salt CO₂ electrolysis.
This method captures and converts CO₂ into valuable carbon materials and oxygen. Molten salt systems are uniquely suited to high-temperature carbon capture applications due to their thermal efficiency and stability.
Badotherm produces Diaphragm Seal Systems that are able to deal with these high temperatures.
The food and life science industry is a vital sector focused on improving human health and quality of life through scientific innovation.
It includes: encompasses biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, and healthcare solutions (Life Science),food processing, safety, nutrition, and technology (Food Science).
Key process in these industries:
• Clean-in-Place (CIP)
• Sterilize-in-Place (SIP)
In these processes, the formation of bacteria needs to be prevented by reducing or eliminating blind spaces where process product could remain and thus creating impurities, bacteria by fermentation, etc.
