More compressed air with less energy for reduced CO2 emissions

A revolution in energy savings

Today's technology offers compressed air users many ways to significantly reduce energy consumption and minimise CO2 output. Unsurprisingly, forward-looking solutions and innovative products play a key role. Compressed air users would be able to tap into the average 33 % efficiency potential identified back in 2000 far more effectively if they systematically implemented all available savings measures.

Economical usage of energy even in hazardous areas

An alternative concept for electrically heated hoses

Many substances require supplementary heat for transport. The usage of electrical heat in flexible hoses is also a significant challenge in applications for hazardous areas. The templine heated hoses available from Masterflex represent an alternative concept, in which a minimum of four heating conductors cover the medium carrying hose in a way to ensure optimal heat transfer.

Corrosion protection for bioreactor

Home improvement for microorganisms

Some 7000 m² of steel had to be examined in the biological wastewater treatment plant at Griesheim Industrial Park in Frankfurt and, depending on the extent of the damage, newly coated and refurbished. A five-strong team of corrosion protection experts from ThyssenKrupp Xervon was involved with this task from April to September 2009. It was the third successful reactor refurbishment job carried out for this customer.

Vertical pump for conveying molten salts

Efficient use of solar power

Owing to their high heat capacity and thermal conductivity, molten salts are used today in the chemical industry to transfer heat and in power stations for heat storage. In solar thermal power stations, for example, the thermal energy collected by mirrors is stored in molten salts. In a secondary circuit, the steam produced with this energy then drives a steam turbine with a generator.
