Why Use Phoenix for Your Plant Dismantling & Plant Relocation Needs

A Common Plant Liquidation Scenario Your company has made the tough decision to close a plant. This plant was running for years, and the company paid a lot to have it built, paid everyone’s salaries, and maintained or even modernized all of the production assets over the plant’s life but the plant needs to be sold off for one reason or another. Your company has called upon you to recover as much dollar as you can to help keep the organization alive, and better yet, healthy, in what is a constant battle in the marketplace. You’ve either: Have spent months, maybe even years trying to find a buyer that would operate the plant in place, without any success, while the plant’s assets lose value every passing day. Or, you can’t sell it to another company, as you are one of the few suppliers of the product the plant makes, and you don’t want to create a competitor, or improve a competitor’s position. Or, the plant is on leased propert

Hydrogenation: Major Applications

Hydrogenation is a billion-dollar industry. Hydrogenating means to add hydrogen to something. According to Haldor Topsoe, hydrogenation comprises 48% of total hydrogen consumption, 44% of which is for hydrocracking and hydrotreating in refineries , and 4% for hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons (including hardening of edible oil) and of aromatics, hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones (for instance oxo-products), and hydrogenation of nitrobezene (for manufacture of aniline). Hydrocracking & Hydrotreating Industrially, hydrotreating and hydrocracking are performed in down flow ‘trickle bed reactors’, where the gas and the liquid feed are sent concurrently through a fixed bed plug flow reactor. Although the flow pattern in the reactor can be reasonably approximated, the observed kinetics in such a trickle bed reactor are quite often affected by minor unplanned oscillations in the flow. How the gas and liquid collide and mix together affects the end prod

Thermoplastics – A Focus on Polyethylene & Polypropylene

Thermoplastics are a class of polymers, that with the application of heat, can be softened and melted, and can be processed either in the heat-softened state (e.g. by thermoforming) or in the liquid state (e.g. by extrusion and injection molding). Over 70% of the plastics used in the world are thermoplastics, and the two most commonly used thermoplastics are both olefins, compound made up of hydrogen and carbon that contains one or more pairs of carbon atoms linked by a double bond. These two olefins are polyethylene and polypropylene. Polyethylene Polyethylene is a tough, light, flexible synthetic resin made by polymerizing ethylene, chiefly used for plastic bags, food containers, and other packaging. It may be of low density or high density depending upon the process used in its manufacturing. It is resistant to moisture and most of the chemicals. It can be heat sealed and is flexible at room temperature (and low temperature), and in additional to its material properties,
