Improve System Performance with High-Performance Valves
How to Select the
Best Hydrogen Valves
The mobility industry is increasingly
searching for alternatives
to traditional fossil fuels, and
hydrogen is rapidly gaining
popularity as a promising option.
However, a current lack of
refueling infrastructure makes
the transition more challenging.
As hydrogen gains traction,
the industry must design
and build the infrastructure to
support it, including leak-tight
systems constructed from highquality
materials. Choosing the
right system components is
paramount because some components
cannot withstand the
sired density, hydrogen must be
stored in on-vehicle tanks at
350 to 700 bar.
Stress and vibration. Systems
must be able to withstand fast
speeds, bumpy roads and inclement
weather conditions.
Safety. The average consumer
must be able to safely operate a
refueling station.
Maintenance. It should also be
easy to remake leak-tight joints
when they need to be serviced.
These four performance parameters
cannot be sacrificed.
Each selected valve should provide
leak-tight performance at
Components used in hydrogen vehicle and refueling infrastructure
must deliver long-term leak-tight performance.
particular stressors involved in
hydrogen distribution systems.
Hydrogen molecules are challenging
to contain because they
are so small and volatile. Each
connection point within a hydrogen
system cannot leak, as
even the smallest leaks pose
safety risks to end users, particularly
when refueling vehicles.
One of the biggest problems
posed by tiny hydrogen
molecules is their ability to diffuse
into some stainless steels,
causing a phenomenon known
as hydrogen embrittlement.
This characteristic can cause
components to weaken over
time as cracks occur and lead to
system failure.
Source: Swagelok
High-Performance Valves
Even under ideal conditions,
hydrogen valves undergo challenges
to their integrity and
performance. As system designers
decide which valves are
most appropriate for their application,
they must consider:
Pressures. To achieve the deall
connection, shutoff and
regulation points.
Hydrogen Ball Valves
Hydrogen systems often contain
ball valves, which start and
stop gas flows from one direction
to the next. Proper hydrogen
ball valves should include
wear-resistant stem-seal
designs. For example, it may
make sense to specify a trunnion-style
ball valve with a direct-load
design, which provides
leak-tight performance
each time it is used. Another
option is a bottom-loaded stem
design, which can be safer than
other valve designs because
such valves are less likely to
blow out their stems. Hydrogen
ball valves may also offer two–
or three-way functionality, different
mounting options and a
range of flow coefficients.
Hydrogen Needle Valves
When fluid flows require fine
adjustments, needle valves are
often the answer. However,
other factors influence whether
needle valves are right for specific
hydrogen applications.
First, they are often made completely
out of metal, meaning it
takes significant force to open
and close them. The amount of
force necessary might eventually
deform the needle and
seat, rendering it incapable of
operating properly. Additionally,
large air actuators typically
open and close the valves,
which can take up to two minutes.
That is why hydrogen
needle valves must be made
from the strongest possible
steel. High-quality 316 stainless
steel, for example, resists deformation
over time and can
withstand the pressures exerted
on valves in hydrogen applications
(usually approximately
350 to 700 bar).
Hydrogen Check Valves
Finally, check valves are essential
to properly functioning hydrogen
compressors in refueling
systems. They control backflow
and keep end users safe as
they refuel vehicles. Most check
valves use strain-hardened
springs, which can be unusually
susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement.
In contrast, using
high-quality 316 stainless steel
reduces the chances of embrittlement
weakening the
springs. Another challenge is
the often severe temperature
and pressure changes common
to hydrogen refueling applications,
which can damage
valves’ elastomer seals. Ideally,
most hydrogen compressors
would use ball check valves
over other nonspecific ones.
For all the valves used in hydrogen
applications, compatibility
with other components is
key. Make sure all components
are designed specifically for hydrogen
use so they work together
in harmony to keep
everyone safe throughout the
process.

The Highlights of ACHEMA 2024
The Heart of Process Technology Beats in Frankfurt
ACHEMA 2024 will take place in Frankfurt from June 10 to 14, 2024. This means that the heart of the process industry will
be beating again at the usual time and in the usual rhythm. ACHEMA DAILY spoke to Dr. Björn Mathes, CEO of DECHEMA
Ausstellungs-GmbH, about the highlights of this year‘s event.
Dr. Mathes, just as the European
Football Championship
brings nations together to
celebrate their passion for
the sport, ACHEMA also
unites professionals from all
over the world around innovations
and progress in the
process industry. Frankfurt is
one of the main venues for
the preliminary round. Thousands
of international fans
will populate the city in the
second half of June. Would
you like the same for your
ACHEMA 2024?
…visit us in
Hall 9.0 Booth E64
https://s.fhg.de/IMM-Cascade-Reactions
Dr. Mathes: ACHEMA 2024 will
once again be the gathering
place for the process technology
community and, unlike the
European Men‘s Football
Championship, we are bringing
together professionals and experts
from all over the world,
far beyond Europe. This year’s
ACHEMA has the highest rate
of international exhibitors ever
and it is becoming apparent
that we might see the same
trend on the attendee side.
Above all, we are registering
high demand from markets
with strong investment potential
such as North America or
the Middle East and North Africa,
as well as the dynamic Asian
markets. This makes Frankfurt
not only one of the host cities
for UEFA Euro 2024, but also
the only place where you can
really feel the heartbeat of the
process industry. And ACHEMA
is much closer in nature to another
major sporting event of
the year: the Olympics.
Can you give us an overview
of the core topics and focal
points of ACHEMA 2024?
Dr. Mathes: The overarching
themes are sustainability, the
path to climate-neutral production
and digitalization. For me
digitalization and digital innovations
are a key enabler, while
the net-zero target for the process
industry is the most ambitious
task in its history. The innovations
developed in the
process industry also have an
impact on other industries and
help them to achieve their sustainability
goals. This makes
the ACHEMA-Community an
important trailblazer towards
climate-neutral production.
Sustainability at ACHEMA is
multi-layered, we talk about
hydrogen, circular economy, industrial
water and wastewater
technology, bioeconomy and
renewable raw materials but
also decentralized energy generation
for production sites. In
addition, ACHEMA will of
course retain its traditional
focus on chemical and pharmaceutical
process engineering
with numerous world firsts that
can be experienced on the
show floor.
Which new trends and technologies
will be highlighted
at ACHEMA 2024?
Dr. Mathes: The ACHEMA Congress
programme is clustered
into six innovation themes:
process, pharma, green, lab,
hydrogen and digital. There are
numerous innovations in all
themes that will influence and
shape the future of the process
industry. These include, among
others, advances in modularization,
networked production
around Ethernet APL, the production
of biopharmaceuticals
or cell and gene therapeutics,
increased automation and robotics,
digitalization and unified
data standards in the laboratory,
as well as the opportunities
around hydrogen for
and in the process industry.
Stereoselective synthesis of
fine chemicals with
cascade reactions in flow
Are you seeking to significantly optimize
your production costs for the synthesis
of fine chemicals and their purity
simultaneously?
Are you interested in an innovative
technology that enables synthesis
processes based on the principles of
Green Chemistry in continuous flow?
Fraunhofer IMM develops with its partner institutes in
the Fraunhofer network novel catalyst systems for the
photochemical-assisted biocatalysis. In addition to these heterogeneous
catalyst materials, we also develop customerspecific
synthesis plants with the objective of achieving the
maximum synergy between chemistry and flow technology
for the sustainable and scalable synthesis of chiral fine
chemicals.
Dr. Björn Mathes, CEO of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH
How will the exhibition help
to address the challenges of
sustainability and climate
change?
Dr. Mathes: The process industry
faces many challenges. The
goal of climate-neutral production
and defossilization of the
industry is certainly the biggest
and most ambitious challenge
in the history of the process industry
and requires global networks.
This is exactly what the
most international ACHEMA
ever will promote: The numerous
technical discussions at the
stands and around the presentations
will provide the industry
with a sustainability impulse
that will point the way for the
coming years. Many of the technology
trends of recent years
originated at ACHEMA, and that
will be the case again this time.
What role will digital technologies
and artificial intelligence
play at ACHEMA 2024?
Dr. Mathes: They play a major
role. Everyone has been talking
about the digitalization of the
industry for almost a decade. At
Source: DECHEMA / Pietro Sutera
first, it was little more than a big
buzz word, often with examples
from dedicated manufacturing
that were difficult or impossible
to implement in the process industry.
However, our industry
has now embarked on a learning
curve and digitalization continues
to advance. The introduction
of digital innovations such
as smart data analytics or Industry
4.0 technologies is becoming
increasingly important in
order to stay ahead of the competition.
But digitalization is
also in demand as an enabler
for achieving sustainability
goals. This will not be without
its challenges: IT vs. OT, connectivity
vs. security or smart vs.
smart enough – the challenge
for operators is to find exactly
the right configuration for their
company and needs. Solutions
based on artificial intelligence
have become increasingly important
since the media hype
surrounding ChatGPT and are
also playing a role at a number
of ACHEMA stands this year.
Our peer group is currently taking
a critical look at such technologies,
especially in view of
safety and security aspects.

Renovation work was carried out at
the exhibition grounds for ACHEMA
2022. As a result, the traditional exhibition
groups were somewhat disorganised.
Mechanical Process Engineering,
for example, had to move
to Hall 12. What will it look like in
2024? Who will exhibit where?
Dr. Mathes: Yes, Mechanical Processes
had to temporarily move to Hall 12 due
to the new construction of Hall 5 in
2022 but is now back in Halls 5.0 and
6.0 and will once again form a close
tandem with Thermal Processes.
The exhibition group Pharmaceutical,
Packaging and Storage Techniques has
now been extended to Hall 4.1, giving it
optimal growth prospects.
Laboratory and Analytical Techniques
also has a new home in Hall 12 is thus
moving much closer to process analysis
and automation in Hall 11. Furthermore,
Industrial and Labour Safety will be located
in Hall 11 for the first time.
Are there certain industries or sectors
that will be more strongly represented
at ACHEMA 2024 than in
previous years?
Dr. Mathes: Pharmaceutical, Packaging
and Storage Techniques will be the largest
exhibition group at ACHEMA 2024
for the first time. Although, the technologies
specifically designed for the
life science and pharmaceutical sectors
that will be exhibited at ACHEMA go far
beyond this exhibition group. This once
again underlines the strong standing
that ACHEMA has built up in the global
pharmaceutical industry over the past.
At ACHEMA 2024, we also see that the
topic of decentralized and sustainable
energy generation for the process industry
is coming more into focus and is
playing a major role in achieving climate
neutrality at individual sites.
Hydrogen, digitalisation, modular
production, cybersecurity: the topics
currently affecting the industry are
diverse. Will there be some special
exhibition areas on these topics
again in 2024? What are they and
where can they be found?
Dr. Mathes: Yes, Hall 6.0 is home to
the special show Hydrogen. The smallest
molecule was already the subject of
an ACHEMA special show in 1991. But a
lot has happened since then and the
role of hydrogen in the global energy
system is particularly prominent. In Hall
12.0, the Action Area Digital Lab will
bring the digitalized and connected laboratory
of the future to life. Attendees
can experience on their own how digitalization,
miniaturization, automation
and robotics not only increase added
value in the laboratory, but also close
the data gap between the laboratory
and the production.
I have already mentioned the innovation
themes of ACHEMA. Each one
has its own Innovation Stage with an
extremely exciting and top-class programme.
By industry, for industry. In
addition, the Modular Production and
NOA theme stand in Hall 11.0, the Flow
Chemistry Pavilion in Hall 9.0 and The
SEFA Theatre in Hall 12.0 are three very
exciting industry initiatives that should
not be missed during a visit.
Every attendee should also take a look
at Hall 11.1 and visit the Advanced Industrial
Robotic Applications Challenge.
The teams in the competition will once
again push the boundaries of robot
technology and bring the future of robots
in the chemical industry to life.
This challenge shows how the world of
production and manufacturing in the
process industry could change in the
not-too-distant future and can only be
experienced at ACHEMA.
In 2022, you integrated the ACHEMA
Congress into the exhibition for the
first time. How will the congress be
structured in 2024? Which main
topics or theme days will there be?
Dr. Mathes: The congress is structured
along our six innovation themes, which
will run from Monday to Friday and give
visitors the opportunity to take part in
attractive presentations or discussions
of thought leaders each day either on
one of the Innovation Stages or in Congress
sessions.
Where will the individual stages be
located at the exhibition?
Dr. Mathes: The Zeta Pharma Innovation
Stage is located in Hall 4.1, while
the stages in Hall 6.0 have a clear focus
on climate neutrality: this is where you
will find the EY Green Innovation Stage
and the Siemens Hydrogen Innovation
Stage. The GEA Process Innovation
Stage is located in Hall 9.0 and the
Siemens Digital Innovation Stage can
once again be found in Hall 11.0,
rounded off by the Lab Innovation
Stage in Hall 12.0.
Dr. Mathes, finally a look into the
crystal ball. Who will be European
football champion?

At ACHEMA 2022, particleanalysis
specialist SOPAT made
a major announcement — the
acquisition of Parsum, which
enabled the company to
broaden its technology portfolio
to encompass wet and dry
multi-phase particle analysis.
This combined technology
range will be on display again
to serve the uniquely wideranging
industrial audience of
ACHEMA. “What is very important
to us is that no matter how
specific your particular characterization
need is, we want to
offer a solution, even for particles
in very complex or
chemically aggressive mixtures,”
says Dr. Sebastian
Maaß, CEO of Sopat. The need
for increasing complexity in
particle analysis is driven by diverse
industrial sectors, many
of which are contributing to
the global energy transition.
“The chemical industry will be
one of the key players to provide
energy-storage solutions,
but we are aware the industry
is only as good as the knowledge
available about the processes.
So we will certainly
need process analytical technology
and automation,” says
Maaß.
A particularly important area of
interest for Sopat is in the
manufacture and recycling of
battery materials — specifically
the black mass, which is an intermediate
material in the separation
and recycling of end-oflife
batteries. “Black mass is extremely
viscous, and as the
name implies, very dark, so it is
challenging to visualize anything.
At ACHEMA, we will be
highlighting our successes in
some recent projects where we
are helping battery-recycling
companies with separation and
mixing, as well as flotation applications
and the visualization
of bubbles, in black mass,” says
Maaß.
Beyond the focus on energy
and battery materials, Sopat
will be showcasing an updated
range of software supported by
artificial intelligence, which
will serve users in many sectors,
including oil-and-gas,

Robotic arms can prove very helpful
in manufacturing applications that
require precision and repeatability, as
in the manufacture of batteries and
fuel cells
stacking hundreds of very thin
layers of expensive and fragile
materials, but robots have
helped to streamline the process.
Robotic arms (photo) not
only position coated carbon
sheets to begin the stacking
process, but also handle films
that must be soaked in a strong
acidic solution, which would
pose hazards to workers.
Stäubli’s robots not only can
handle the extremely acidic environment,
but also high humidity,
without any corrosion.
The company has also supplied
robots for the manufacturing
of lithium-ion batteries, pharmaceuticals
and many other
products. “Emerging applications
and performance improvements
in robotics technology
will enhance the capabilities
of robots in manufacturing
and energy operations,
leading to greater productivity,
cost savings and safety improvements
in industry. As
technology continues to
evolve, businesses in the
chemicals and energy sectors
will likely find new and innovative
uses for robotic systems,”
says Sebastien Schmitt,
robotics director for North
America at Stäubli. Such advancements
on the horizon include
integration with more advanced

Executive Commentary
Digital Twins are Indispensable for H 2 Production
Source: Siemens
Siemens‘ CEO of process automation, Axel Lorenz
The shift to green hydrogen produced using renewable
energy sources is an important step toward
the decarbonization of various sectors. As a result,
companies beyond the process industries are also
becoming part of the hydrogen economy.
The increasing demand for
clean energy sources makes
hydrogen a key element in the
energy transition. Integrating
digital twins into hydrogen
production opens up new opportunities
when it comes to
increasing efficiency and reducing
costs — thus helping to
ramp up hydrogen production
in the face of high production
costs. By using simulation
models that replicate real plant
operation, engineers and operators
can optimize plant designs
before physical components
are built or modified.
This approach makes it possible
to identify and correct potential
problems at an early
stage, resulting in shorter development
times and reduced
costs. For the construction and
operation of digital twins,
however, it is imperative that
the automation technology
and industrial software are optimally
coordinated. Siemens
offers suitable blueprints, preplanned
engineering templates
and libraries for
this purpose.
Standardization is Crucial
Unlike the processes that have
been established for decades to
produce mostly gray hydrogen,
the new technologies for producing
green hydrogen are
typically modular greenfield
plants that consist of different
package units. The resulting
challenge is that each module
has its own manufacturer-specific
logic, programming and
operation. In addition to transmission
protocols, the alarms
and messages generated by the
skids must also be correctly integrated
into the control system.
The same applies to the
visualization of all control parameters.
To ensure seamless interoperability
of these different
systems, standardization is the
key to an open and flexible
automation concept. Only on
this basis can digital twins
achieve their full potential.
Simluation and Design
The first step toward digital
twins in hydrogen production is
the design process for greenfield
plants. To determine optimal
process designs for a plant,
simulations are run using process
modeling software, such
as gPROMS from Siemens,
which captures process knowledge
in mathematical models
that describe the physics and
chemistry of the process flows.
To illustrate and refine the process
engineering concept in the
next step, the previously collected
process data is used for
the process flow diagram (PFD),
after which the more detailed
piping and instrumentation diagrams
(P&IDs) are created. An
engineering tool like COMOS
helps to create the digital twin
for the various disciplines of
plant engineering, such as process,
electrical, systems and
piping and automation.
The entire automation of the
plant must then be designed
and engineered (detailed engineering),
including circuit
diagrams, wiring and the distributed
control system (DCS).
The corresponding DCS hardware,
such as remote IOs or
controllers, must be placed,
wired and configured in the
field. The same holds true for
the DCS software that needs to
be designed and implemented.
The Plant Automation Accelerator
from Siemens provides an
integrated engineering approach
for this. After DCS engineering,
the critical phase of
acceptance testing and commissioning
begins. The SIMIT
software makes it possible to
simulate the DCS behavior for
virtual commissioning. By reusing
the data from the process
control system, Simit, Comos
and gPROMS, the entire system
behavior can be simulated prior
to commissioning. The combination
of these applications
also ensures that the data of
the digital twins is always up to
date. If a 3D model of a plant is
also available, Comos Walkinside
can be used to train operating
personnel at an early
stage using virtual reality. This
approach also makes it easier
to achieve a low-disruption operating
phase. To accomplish
this, it is essential to enrich
plant and operating data as well
as documentation with both
real-time and historical data.
Faster Time to Market
Clearly, digital twins reduce the
time and effort required for onsite
commissioning to a minimum,
minimize error, and can
cut the project costs of a plant
by around 15% — while also decreasing
the commissioning
time by as much as 30%. By
combining the four applications
Comos, gPROMS, Simit
and the DCS system (Simatic
PCS 7 or Simatic PCS neo), it is
possible to ensure that the digital
twin is always current by
continually updating the data.
In engineering, automation and
simulation, plant productivity
and performance are optimized
through the use of predictive
models that are an accurate reflection
of the actual plant.
Electrolyzer Considerations
Electrolyzers are the core component
of a green hydrogen
plant. Their capacity cannot be
scaled at will. Instead, multiple
electrolyzers are operated in
parallel by numbering up to increase
the output of a plant.
Once you have a digital twin of
the electrolyzers, you can
easily design a hydrogen plant

ACHEMA DAILY #1 | MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2024
Breaking News 9
by using copy and paste or
drag and drop. In the future,
this approach can be used to
copy and replicate entire H2
plants. This digital plant forms
the foundation for scaling up
the electrolysis business. The
previously mentioned simulation
models will then run in
the background in parallel
with plant operation and detect
any deviations from optimum
operation. This ultimately
makes it possible to
find the most efficient and material-friendly
operating
modes for hydrogen plants.
Existing System Integration
Digital twins also facilitate the
integration of H2 production
plants into existing energy systems.
By accurately simulating
plant operation, operators can
better understand how their
plants will respond to a fluctuating
energy supply from renewable
sources and how best
to integrate them into the
broader energy grid. This capability
is critical to maximizing
the role of hydrogen as an energy
storage medium and increasing
the flexibility of the energy
system as a whole. Weather
forecasts can also be fed into
simulation models of plants,
allowing operators to know at
an earlier stage how much electricity
they need to buy from
the market for their plant. This
in turn saves costs.
In short, the entire architecture
of the digital twin is designed
for flexibility that allows plant
operators to set their own priorities
for hydrogen production.

Roadmap für Direct Air Capture and Storage
Beschleunigte CO 2 -Reduktion
Bild: VectorMine – stock.adobe.com
Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS) kann mittelfristig eine kosteneffiziente
und vielversprechende Technik zur CO2-Reduktion sein
Die Klimaziele werden nur zu
erreichen sein, wenn es gelingt,
Kohlendioxid in großem Maßstab
aus der Atmosphäre zu
entfernen. Wird Direct Air Capture
and Storage (DACS) mittelfristig
eine kosteneffiziente
und vielversprechende Technik
zur CO 2 -Reduktion sein? Im
Helmholtz-Forschungsprojekt
DACStorE, das vom Forschungszentrum
Jülich koordiniert wird,
arbeiten sechs Helmholtz-Zentren
und die TU Berlin gemeinsam
an technischen Lösungen
sowie einer Roadmap für den
schnellen und nachhaltigen
Hochlauf dieser Technologie.
„Die aktive technische Abscheidung
von CO 2 aus der Atmosphäre
und permanente geologische
Speicherung wird voraussichtlich
schon ab 2035 eine
kosteneffektive Option, um
diese verbleibenden Emissionen
auszugleichen. Dies geht
aus wissenschaftlichen Analysen
hervor, die wir begleitend
zu DACStorE erstellt haben“, erklärt
Projektsprecher Prof. Dr.
Detlef Stolten vom Forschungszentrum
Jülich.
Kosten für Direct Air Capture
Im Jahr 2045 müssen in
Deutschland rund 53 Mio. Tonnen
CO 2 aus der Atmosphäre
entfernt werden, wie Analysen
der Jülicher Forscher zeigen.
Die Abscheidekosten von adsorptionsbasierten
DAC-Anlagen
liegen dann im Durchschnitt
voraussichtlich bei etwa
290 Euro/t CO 2 . Die niedrigsten
Kosten im Jahr 2045 sind mit
235 Euro/t CO 2 in Norddeutschland
zu erwarten, wo besonders
viel Windstrom produziert
wird und sich auch geeignete
CO 2 -Speicherstätten befinden.
„Die Abscheidung von CO 2 aus
der Luft wäre damit kostengünstiger
als die Vermeidung
von Emissionen in schwer dekarbonisierbaren
Bereichen
wie der chemischen Industrie“,
sagt der wissenschaftliche Koordinator
von DACStorE Thomas
Schöb aus dem Institut Jülicher
Systemanalyse.
Kohlendioxid-Speicherung
Geeignete geologische Speicher
für abgeschiedenes CO 2 in
Deutschland sind beispielsweise
ausgeförderte Erdgaslagerstätten
oder salzwasserführende
Gesteinsschichten, sogenannte
saline Aquifere. Gemäß
Abschätzungen der Bundesanstalt
für Geowissenschaften und
Rohstoffe bieten diese beiden
Optionen ein Potenzial, um etwa
12 Mrd. t CO 2 aufzunehmen.
Politisch und rechtlich ist es
wichtig, die technikbasierte
CO 2 -Entnahme von anderen klimapolitischen
Maßnahmen abzugrenzen.
Insbesondere muss
klar zwischen der CO 2 -Abscheidung
an fossilen Kraftwerken
oder bei Industrieprozessen
und der direkten Entnahme von
CO 2 aus der Atmosphäre unterschieden
werden, da nur letztere
in Verbindung mit permanenter
Speicherung negative Emissionen
bereitstellt. Das Recht
muss so weiterentwickelt werden,
dass es die effektive, effiziente
und ökologisch nachhaltige
Entwicklung und Anwendung
von DACS unterstützt.
Abscheidung über
Lüftungsanlagen
Zur CO 2 -Abscheidung könnten
Lüftungsanlagen in größeren
Gebäuden zukünftig mit DAC-
Anlagen erweitert werden. Bei
Umsetzung in 15 % aller Bürogebäuden
mit einer Nutzfläche
über 2500 m 2 könnten so 15
Mio. t/a CO 2 aus der Atmosphäre
entfernt werden. Ziel von
DACStorE ist die Entwicklung
von DAC-Technologien, die an
verschiedenen Standorten auf
der ganzen Welt eingesetzt werden
können.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring
Going Beyond Environmental Protection
Jacques Mulbert, division president, ABB Measurement & Analytics, explains
how continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) do more than just protect
the environment
What is the role of CEMS in
environmental protection?
Jacques Mulbert: Tightening
environmental regulations
across the world are forcing
companies to put sustainability
at the heart of their processes,
and accurate emissions monitoring
is key to managing and
mitigating a company’s environmental
impact.
Continuous emission monitoring
systems are one of the ways
in which governments and industry
are mobilizing to tackle
climate change. CEMS provide
constant monitoring and analysis
of effluent gas streams that
result from combustion in industrial
processes. To put it
simply, CEMS tell us the composition
of gases that come out
of industrial chimneys.
However, as well as the headline
pollutants of CO 2
and
methane that form the major
greenhouse gasses, there are
also many other toxic gases
and particulate matter that affect
human health, wildlife,
water and the environment.
These include carbon monoxide,
ammonia and hydrogen
chloride. CEMS operate constantly,
even when the process
is not operational, and measure
all required components.
Can CEMS offer an advantage
in terms of optimizing
production or do they stop
at environmental protection?
Jacques Mulbert, division president, ABB Measurement and Analytics
Mulbert: Unlike many industrial
innovations, the increased
demand for CEMS is not driven
by a desire to seek a competitive
advantage, but by the need
to achieve regulatory compliance.
However, CEMS should
not be seen merely as a boxticking
exercise, as it can also
deliver real benefits to help inform
decision-making and improve
the efficiency and sustainability
of industrial processes.
They can also offer safety
benefits by providing an early
detection system for explosions,
leakage monitoring
and filter monitoring. In addition,
data generated by CEMS
equipment can be used to optimize
combustion to reduce fuel
and lower emissions, increase
plant efficiency and equipment
lifetime and decrease operating
costs by providing operators
with additional intelligence
on process performance.
As well as continuously collecting,
recording and reporting
emissions data for process
monitoring or for compliance
purposes, CEMS can improve
productivity.
What is the direction of recent
developments in CEMS?
Source: ABB
Mulbert: New developments
in CEMS technology are to help
to broaden its capabilities.
Today, the most advanced systems
can measure the lowest
concentrations of exhaust
gases from industrial chimneys.
When new pollutants become
mandatory to measure or
emission limits change, some
systems are so sophisticated
that they can be adjusted by a
mere software upgrade.
The integration of Dynamic QR
(DQR) codes, for instance, can
reflect the real-time status of a
device. When scanned, the
DQR software pulls updated
data and status information
from a central unit, which can
be in control of several discrete
gas-analyzer modules. The DQR
codes also provide a health
check of performance history,
together with access to information
like the device’s serial
number to enable timely
service support. This is particularly
helpful for installations
that require high availability,
remote installations, or installations
that require manual inspection
only.

Thin-Film Evaporation
Energy Savings in Sludge-Drying Processes
Buss-SMS-Canzler‘s two-stage dryng process recovers heat from the atmospheric stage
and uses it in the vacuum stage
At ACHEMA 2024, thermal separations
company Buss-SMS-
Canzler is showcasing its twostage
drying process for a variety
of applications, including
the drying of sewage sludge.
The thin-fiilm evaporation system
is designed to reduce heating-energy
consumption by
45% compared to conventional
sludge-drying equipment, the
company says.
Traditional drying techniques
often require a substantial
amount of energy input, mainly
due to the limited utilization of
heating energy. The two-stage
drying process introduced by
Buss-SMS-Canzler capitalizes
on the principle of multiple-effect
evaporation commonly
used in evaporation technology.
Multiple-effect evaporation
is designed to maximize
the use of input energy. By operating
under vacuum conditions
in Stage 1 and atmospheric
conditions in Stage 2,
this process enables a lower
evaporation temperature in
stage 1, resulting in considerable
energy savings, according
to the company.
One of the key advantages of
the design is the recovery of
energy released during the
condensation in stage 2. This
energy is then utilized to heat
stage 1 (see diagram). The twostage
drying process efficiently
applies products in a
thin film on the heated wall
using rotating blades. This approach
not only enhances the
effectiveness of the drying
process, but also makes it suitable
for various applications,
including the drying of sewage
sludge, Buss-SMS-Canzler
says. The dried sludge would
be suitable for a variety of
uses, including gasification,
composting, incineration, fertilizer,
pyrolysis and others.
The company reports that the
two-stage drying technology
has proven to be highly effective,
and it cites the technology
as an example of a more
sustainable waste-management
strategy that helps drive
the transition to a circular
economy.

Powder Wetting and Dispersing
Continuous Powder Wetting Speeds Process
The Ystral Coflow
Source: Ystral
To expand its machine portfolio,
Ystral has developed the continuously
operating Coflow.
In the Ystral Coflow, solids and
liquid components are introduced
in controlled quantities
via solids dosing units or a
liquid pump and combined in a
premixing zone with an oblique
blade agitator. Fine dispersion
then takes place using a rotorstator
system, whereby the
stator can be designed with different
slot widths depending on
the application. „An inducer installed
between the premixing
zone and the rotor-stator zone
is effectuating a pressure increase,“
says Uwe Klaumünzner,
Process and Application Engineer
at Ystral. „This change in
pressure causes the air brought
in with the powder to be separated,
resulting in a lower residual
air content in the product.“
The Ystral Coflow is designed
for a wide range of applications
in various industries. The focus
lies on products with powders
that are easy to process and do
not require post-dispersion, as
well as users with a lean product
portfolio or relatively few
product changes. „Compared to
a classic batch process in a container,
the Ystral Coflow enables
production with a significantly
reduced machine footprint,
faster processing times, better
OEE values and a higher degree
of automation. In addition, the
cleaning of the machine is
much easier due to the smaller
product contact surface,“ says
Raoul Pila Nunninger, Head of
R&D at ystral. For the market
launch, the Ystral Coflow-4 has
a total capacity of 6,000 to
13,500 kg/h. scj

Filtration
Reliable Crossflow Filter
Dynamic crossflow filter DCF
Source: Andritz
Among its ACHEMA offerings,
Andritz will be highlighting its
Krauss-Maffei dynamic crossflow
filter DCF, an established
technology for the clarification
of liquids and for concentrating
and washing of solids for a
wide variety of chemical and
pharmaceutical products, such
as the solid/liquid separation
step in the production of diabetes-care
products. The technology
is highly reliable, Andritz
says, because the open filtration
area avoids blockages,
eliminating the need for manual
intervention. The filters
work in a way that is completely
enclosed and fully automatic
– right down to the
Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) and
Sterilization-In-Place (SIP) features,
Andritz points out.
The DCF can be combined with
advanced automation and digitalization
solutions to optimize
efficiency and maximize profit,
as shown by the Metris addIQ
digital twin. This is a digital replica
of the physical process
using asset-specific information,
such as actual physical
dimensions and equipment
characteristics, running in parallel
with the plant’s operations,
continuously calculating
key process parameters. One
benefit, specific to the digital
twin for the DCF, is predicting
optimum transmembrane

Maßnahmen bei abrasiven Schüttgütern
Pulvermischer mit Verschleißschutz
Aluminiumoxid-Beschichtung auf dem Rührwerk
Je abrasiver die Schüttgüter in einem Mischer
sind, umso mehr ist das Innenleben Verschleiß
ausgesetzt. Deshalb müssen konstruktiv Gegenmaßnahmen
ergriffen werden.
Bild: Amixon
Grundsätzlich nimmt der Verschleiß
zu, wenn das Mischgut
hohe Schüttdichten aufweist
oder die Mischgüter schlecht
fließen. Dann muss das Mischwerkzeug
erhöhte Antriebsdrehmomente
aufbringen, weil
sie beispielweise besonders
fein sind oder weil sie möglicherweise
mit einer Flüssigkeit
benetzt sind. Auch schnell rotierende
Mischwerkzeuge, lange
Mischvorgänge oder große
Chargen im Mischer bedingen
erhöhten Verschleiß.
Amixon-Mischer liefern in der
Praxis sehr hohe Mischgüten.
Die Hauptmischwerkzeuge der
Maschinen arbeiten mit geringen
Umfangsgeschwindigkeiten.
Manchmal liegt diese sogar
unter einem Meter pro Sekunde.
Dann sind auch die Relativgeschwindigkeiten
zwischen
Mischwerkzeug und
Mischgut besonders gering.
Das vermeidet Verschleiß und
spart Energie. Die Mischer arbeiten
besonders effizient und
erlauben kurze Mischzeiten.
Die Mischwerkzeuge sind glatt
und haben eine einfache Formgebung.
Insofern können verschiedenste
Schleißschutz-Panzerungen
einfach appliziert
werden. Diese können in der
Regel vom Wartungsteam am
Mischer selbst durchgeführt
werden. Große Inspektionstüren
begünstigen die Instandsetzungsarbeiten,
ohne dass
Mischwerkzeuge demontiert
werden müssen.
Die Hauptmischwerkzeuge der
Amixon-Mischer sind nur oben
angetrieben und gelagert. Die
Wellenabdichtung befindet
sich somit oberhalb des Mischgutes,
ist wenig belastet und
dauerhaft gasdicht.
Sechs Tipps gegen Verschleiß
Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass sechs
verschiedene Lösungen guten
Verschleißschutz sicherstellen.
Die Bauteile, die dem Verschleiß
unterworfen sind, können
wahlweise wie folgt geschützt
werden:
1. Der Mischer/Reaktor besteht
aus einem besonders verschleißfesten
Grundwerkstoff.
2. Die dem Verschleiß unterworfenen
Bauteile werden
durch Hartlegierungs-Auftragsschweißen
gepanzert. Im
Schweißgut sind ultraharte
Wolfram- oder Chromkarbide
eingelagert.
3. Auswechselbare Schleißschutzelemente
werden im Mischer/Reaktor
verschraubt. Es
handelt sich um hochfeste Keramikwerkstoffe,
die nicht
schweißbar sind.
4. Die Mischwerkzeuge werden
hart gepanzert. Eine Aluminiumoxidkeramik
wird in Form
des Plasmaspritzverfahrens
oder in Form des Hochtemperaturflammspritzens
appliziert.
5. Das Mischwerkzeug und
wahlweise auch der Mischraum
werden mit Widia-Hartmetallplättchen
bestückt .
6. Das Mischwerkzeug und
wahlweise auch der Mischraum
werden mit Hochleistungskeramik-Plättchen
beklebt.
Wenn Mischgüter wie Batteriemassen
während des Mischens
nicht mit metallischem Abrieb
kontaminiert werden dürfen,
sollten Mischraum und Mischwerkzeuge
mit einer geeigneten
Oxidkeramik beschichtet
werden. Das funktioniert in der
Praxis sehr gut. Im Amixon-
Technikum stehen 400-Liter-
Mischer für Tests bereit. Sämtliche
produktberührten Teile
sind mit einer Hochleistungsoxidkeramik
beschichtet. Metallischer
Abrieb ist während
des Mischens/Reagierens/
Trocknens ausgeschlossen.
Testen im Technikum
Ein keramisch beschichteter
Mischtrockner-Synthesereaktor
ist im Technikum aufgebaut
und steht für Produktentwicklungen
und Pilotierungen zur
Verfügung. Der Testapparat hat
ein nutzbares Volumen von
100 l. Der Apparat ist vollständig
keramisch beschichtet. Insofern
ist jeglicher metallischer
Kontakt mit dem Mischgut unterbunden.
Die Besonderheit
liegt aber in den Konstruktionsdetails.
Im Mischapparat kann
der Druck von 6 bar (Druck) bis
10 mbar (Vakuum) variieren.
Der Mischraum kann bis zu
350 °C beheizt werden. Die
Testapparat ist trotz hoher
Temperaturen (bis 350°C) gasdicht,
sowohl bei Vakuum als
auch bei Überdruck. br

Process Solutions for Solidification
IPCO KD1668 casting machine
Source: IPCO
The process equipment company
IPCO will have a demonstration
model of its flagship
chemical solidification system,
known as Rotoform, on display
at ACHEMA. Rotoform has
more than 2,500 lines installed
worldwide. Solutions are available
for sulfur, hot melts, resins,
waxes, fat chemicals, bitumen,
tar pitch and many
others, the company says.
Rotoform systems are available
for applications such as abrasive
and sedimenting materials
(for example, catalysts and suspensions);
melts requiring a
high feed temperature (such as
bitumen and plastic resins);
subcooling melts (for example,
antioxidants for the tire industry);
and pharmaceuticals
requiring GMP compliance.
Ipco has developed a continuous
film casting system incorporating
an innovative Venturi
drying module for the production
of very thin films to fine
tolerances. A slot die applies
the liquid product directly onto
a polished stainless-steel belt,
which then passes through
controlled drying segments
where the solvent in the liquid
is evaporated.
In addition to dry film casting
to 10 to 300 μm, the process
can also be used to produce
microporous membranes. Applications
include the production
of separator membranes
and ceramic tapes used in Liion
batteries, fuel cells and
solid-state batteries.
Ipco is a leading supplier of
high-productivity systems for
chemical processing, with applications
ranging from chemical
pastillation and film casting
to extrusion and cooling equipment.
The company also
supplies press and scattering
solutions for the production of
composite materials. scj

Mechanical/Thermal Processing
Traditionally, many polymerisation
reactions in polymer
production are carried out
batchwise, for example in solution,
emulsion or in a melt.
This procedure reaches its limits
if, for example, the reaction
is very exothermic or the
viscosity increases considerably
during the course of the
reaction. Innovative technologies
are then required. This is
where the planetary roller reactor
(PRR) based on the
planetary roller system offers a
solution.
The PRR is a multi-modular extrusion
system characterized
New Methods in Polymer Production
Planetary Roller Reactor Replaces Reaction Vessel
by targeted mechanical adaptability
and precise thermal process
control. In conjunction
with the special mechanical
working principle of this machine
type, this enables the
realization of sophisticated
mixing, degassing and reactive
extrusion processes, which are
used in the manufacture of a
wide spectrum of products and
often form the basis for new
material innovations.
The PRR offers process engineering
advantages for the preparation
and further chemical
conversion of raw polymerisate.
With the help of the pro-

cess-orientated, adaptable process
technology, a wide range
of possibilities can be presented
to modify the properties
of materials through chemical
reactions. In many cases, these
can be realized in a continuous
production process and therefore
cost-efficiently and with a
stable process quality.
Advantages of the PRR
The PRR can mix, homogenize,
degas and gently remove volatile
components even from
highly viscous extrudates. This
system can serve as a continuous
reactor for chemical reactions,
particularly in the area of
highly viscous thermoplastic
melts. The PRR offers various
advantages not only compared
to traditional batch reaction
control, but also compared to
other processing methods.
These advantages include:
• High and widely scalable
throughput from a few kilograms
to more than ten tons
per hour, depending on the
design size
• Greater process safety due to
relatively low total amount of
reactive components in the
process
• High and reproducible product
quality thanks to precisely
controllable reaction
conditions, e.g. precise temperature
and pressure profiles
• Less emissions thanks to very
efficient degassing of gases
and vapours as well as volatile
degradation products
• Compared to stirred vessel
reactors or conventional processing
aggregates, lower
specific energy requirement
for temperature control and
drive
Greatest possible flexibility
Another advantage, especially
in comparison to conventional
single-screw or twin-screw extruders,
is that the PRR can still
be operated without any problems
even when it is only filled
to around 10 %. This gives the
operator the greatest possible
flexibility when adjusting capacity.
For the modification of different
substances, i.e. chemical
conversion, the extruder can be
continuously supplied with
recipe-related amounts of various
solids and liquids in different
process and temperature
control zones. The residence
time in the individual process
zones of the process section
can be controlled mechanically.
This allows that even higher
Example of a
modular PRR
process section
with different
process zones
viscosity materials can be
added into the ongoing process
with good mixing quality.
It is also possible to react
chemicals under pressure or to
induce, control and interrupt
reactions in individual process
zones in a planned manner. A
chemical reaction can also extend
over several process
zones and run through different
pressure and temperature
conditions, which specifically
influence the course of the
reaction.
The modular design of the PRR
modular system allows chemical
processes to be specifically
customised. The mechanically
controllable process zones and
individual temperature control
zones enable targeted and efficient
control in the individual
phases of reaction processes,
allowing certain sequences of
physical and chemical process
steps to run one after the other
in a continuous process. br

Things to do in Frankfurt
What to see after ACHEMA
Summer in Frankfurt is more than an ACHEMA show. The Main metropolis
offers a whole host of exciting entertainment, lovely places to be, and a lots
of bars, restaurants and cafes. Here you can find some tips.
House lies a lively concert and
congress centre which, despite
its versatility, has a clear artistic
profile. On 13 June 2024, for
example, the HR Symphony Orchestra
will perform “Das Lied
von der Erde” – a late work by
Mahler that is half song cycle
and half symphony.
Zoo Frankfurt
Frankfurt Zoo is a green oasis
in the center of Main metropolis
and home to more than
5,000 animals from over 450
species. Here you will find the
proud animals of Africa next to
lively seals and majestic lions
in the neighborhood of cheeky
dwarf goblins. In the Grzimekhaus,
day turns into night and
you can immerse yourself in
the mysterious animal world of
Madagascar. Snakes, crocodiles,
colorful fish and frogs romp
around in the exotarium, and in
the Borgori forest you can
meet great apes in a real jungle
atmosphere.
Palmengarten
Over 150 years old and still a
magnet for the public: The
Palmengarten in the heart of
the city Frankfurt. In the early
years of the garden exotic
plants – first and foremost its
namesake, the palm trees – attracted
visitors, today it is a variety
of motifs: Enjoy the lush
greenery, stroll among the flowering
beds stroll around, relax
and unwind. The Palmengarten
also provides a diverse cultural
and event program.
Museum of Modern
Electronic Music
Right in the heart of Frankfurt,
the „MOMEM – Museum of
Modern Electronic Music“ opened
its doors. A revolutionary
new museum and exhibition
concept allows visitors to immerse
themselves fully in the
history and development of
electronic music. The new museum’s
initiators propose to
show the development of electronic
music in all its facets and
influences in a way suited to visitors
of all ages.
Museumsufer
If there is some time left,
Frankfurt’s Museumsufer is a
must. It’s a wonderful place to
stroll along the banks of the
Main and the museums are lined
up with their exhibitions:
• From medieval times to the
present: the Städel Museum’s
permanent exhibition takes
you on a journey through
more than 700 years of art.
On more than 15,000 m 2 of
exhibition space you can take
inspiration from paintings
and sculptures, photographs,

Smart Control Valves and Positioners
This Low-Flow Valve is Very Versatile
Source: Schubert & Salzer
Equipped with the
top-mounted positioner
type 8049,
this valve sets new
benchmarks in
terms of precision
and intelligent
networking
Low-flow valves or needle
valves are used wherever minimal
flowrates or high pressures
have to be controlled with particular
precision or securely
shut off. The Type 7042 lowflow
valve offers minimal Kv
values of 0.0027 to 1.7 and a
nominal pressure of PN320. In
combination with this company’s
optionally integrated
Type 8049 positioner, the lowflow
valve further expands its
potential. In addition to an explosion-protected
and FM version,
the Type 7042 can also be
equipped with an IO-Link connection
or Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT) module, enabling
it to supply extensive status
data to facilitate predictive
maintenance, error analysis
and commissioning. The continuous
monitoring of the
status data allows even the
slightest irregularities in the
control behavior to be detected.
With IO-link, a single
cable with an M12 plug bundles
the positioning signal, position
feedback, data transmission
and even the power supply. A
further advantage of the Type
7042 is the top-mounted installation
of the integrated positioner.
This design enables the
fast and uncomplicated replacement
of the control unit
and is thus particularly maintenance-friendly.
The new positioner
is automatically configured
with the parameters of
the predecessor via IO-Link. It
is immediately ready to operate
following a brief self-calibration
routine.
The Type 7042 low-flow valve
has a valve body made of stainless
steel, hardened valve
spindles and a replaceable seat
seal made of hardened stainless
steel or carbide to improve
reliability and service life, even
in high-pressure applications.
Thanks to a special high-pressure
packing, high leak-tightness
is achieved even with a
high switching frequency – including
in hydrogen applications.
The precision of the
design and control accuracy
enable the Type 7042 valve, in
conjunction with the Type
8049 valve positioner, to be installed
in an extensive range of
industrial manufacturing
applications.

Drive Solutions For the Process Industries
These Robust Gear Units can Handle Heavy-Duty Projects
These gear units can be equipped with an adapter for mixing or agitation
Source: Getriebebau NORD
Whether in the chemical, pharmaceutical,
biotechnology or
food industries, companies
that extract, transport or process
raw materials require industry-specific
and innovative
drive solutions. This company’s
Maxxdrive industrial gear units
power heavy-duty applications,
such as agitators, mixers and
grinders in the production of
foods, cosmetics and more. The
parallel and right-angle gear
units cover a speed ratio range
from 5.54:1 to 400:1 – and with
a first-stage gear unit, even up
to 30,000:1. They feature high
output torques from 15 to
282 kNm for reliable operation
even under extreme conditions.
The units are outfitted
with torsionally rigid, onepiece
Unicase housing for a
longer bearing life and efficient
power transmission. They also
have large low-friction roller
bearings for extremely high
radial and axial load capacities
and a long service life. Furthermore,
high-precision axis
alignment guarantees quiet
running. For mixer and agitator
applications, the industrial
gear units can also be
equipped with a Safomi-IEC
adapter. The adapter is available
for parallel gear units and
in sizes 7 to 11, for maximum
output torques from 25 to
75 kNm. The adapter is compact
and simple in design and
has an integrated oil-expansion
volume. The oil tanks and
hoses, as well as the radial
shaft seal that is subject to
leakage and wear between the
gear unit and the IEC cylinder,
are therefore not required.
Furthermore, many connectivity
options are available for the
company‘s full range of drives
and associated components to
facilitate better monitoring and
control. With the Nordcon APP
for mobile maintenance and
commissioning of its frequency
inverters, NORD enables, via
dashboard-based visualization,
the diagnosis, analysis,
parameterization and monitoring
of drive systems via a mobile
terminal device for service
use. An oscilloscope function is
also included for individually
configurable drive analysis. The

Twin-Screw Pumps
Convey Lumpy, Abrasive Media
The Chemspin series of twinscrew
pumps was especially
developed for industrial and
chemical applications. The four
sizes of Chemspin pumps cover
a flow rate range from 30 L/h
to 300 m³/h. The Chemspin
double-flow design allows differential
pressures of up to 50
bars. For non-flowable products,
self-feeding models with
extended feed screws are suitable.
Chemspin twin-screw
pumps are said to be considerably
more flexible than centrifugal,
side-channel or other
displacement pump types, and
can therefore cover the applications
of a whole range of
side-channel pumps. These
pumps can handle viscosities
up to 1,000,000 mPAs and
fluids with solids up to 45-mm
in diameter. Abrasive or lumpy
media can be conveyed and a
suitable shaft seal can provide
dry-run protection. mpb

VMX and VMY Series of oil-injected
screw compressors. The
packages are characterized by
maximum energy efficiency,
system availability and service-friendliness,
as well as a
large variety of types and
many available modification
options. A particular advantage
is the TÜV-certified explosion
pressure shock resistance
up to 12 bars. This means
that the machines are also approved
for operation in processes
with internal ATEX zone
1. The compressors work reliably
in operation 24 hours
per day.
VMX compressors are available
in five sizes to handle volumetric
flowrates ranging from 100
to 2,500 m 3 /h at maximum
pressures up to 15 bars (g). The
system maximizes its efficiency
through optimized lubrication,
cooling and rotor housing/sealing.
The system is also
compact and lightweight,
which makes installation easier.
Operation is low-vibration
and low-noise.
The VMY series of compressors
for biogas and landfill-gas
handling consists of three
sizes. These compressors are
suitable for boosting the intake
pressure of treatment
plants for biogas or as an essential
part of biogas injection
plants. The VMY series can
handle volumetric flowrates

Unterschiedliche Geschwindigkeiten für Druck- und Saughub
Schrittmotorpumpe verbessert Dosierung
aggressiver Chemikalien
Memdos-Smart-Pumpen arbeiten
mit einem Schrittmotor
Bild: Lutz-Jesco
Herkömmliche Membrandosierpumpen
am Markt arbeiten
meist mit Standardmotoren mit
konstanter Drehzahl. Hubzeiten
der Membran beim Ansaugen
und Ausstoßen sind daher
gleich lang. Das ist unvorteilhaft,
weil in der Phase der Vakuumerzeugung
die Fluidförderung
stillsteht. Diese ständige
Unterbrechung mindert
nicht nur die Effizienz, sondern
führt zur Pulsation, die
schlimmstenfalls zu Beschädigungen
führen kann. Herzstück
der Memdos-Smart-Membran-
Dosierpumpen ist daher ein
Antrieb mit einem von einem
Mikroprozessor geregelten
Schrittmotor. Der Clou: Anders
als bei Standardmotoren ist es
möglich, den Motor asynchron
laufen zu lassen. Bedeutet: Die
Dosierpumpe kann bei Saughub
und Druckhub mit unterschiedlichen
Geschwindigkeiten
arbeiten. So wird es möglich,
den Motor während des
Ansaugens mit höherer Geschwindigkeit
zu betreiben. Es
entsteht ein stärkerer Unterdruck,
der die Flüssigkeit
schneller ansaugt. Die Vakuumphase,
bei Standardmotoren eine
Totzeit, ist auf ein Minimum
reduziert. Nach dem Ansaugen
kann der Schrittmotor dann mit
langsamerer Geschwindigkeit
arbeiten, um die Flüssigkeit
kontrolliert und gleichmäßig
auszustoßen, ohne dass es zu
einem abrupten Druckanstieg
kommt.

The Fike DFI Explosion Isolation
Flap Valve is now available
in stainless steel assemblies
for sizes DN100 to
DN800. The company has also
expanded its sizes of DFI up to
DN1000 to meet the needs of
larger dust collectors or other
industrial applications that horizontally
convey organic dust.
The latest stainless-steel execution
is safe for use within food
production and chemical plants
to protect against rust, paint,
or other contaminants from entering
the product.
DFI valves include two flaps on
a vertical center-bar hinge,
which are held open by normal
process flow. When a deflagration
occurs, the pressure reverses
the flow and quickly
closes the lightweight flaps
into a locked position strong
enough to contain the pressure
and flames and protect upstream
equipment. DFI is considered
a “passive” explosion
isolation valve because it is activated
by the pressure itself
and not activated with electronics.
“Because it is designed
for installation in both vertical
and horizontal orientations,
protects against a wide range
of combustible dust hazards,
and is now available in stain-
less steel, Fike DFI is suitable
for most industrial applications
when passive isolation explosion
protection is achievable,”
said Jim Vingerhoets,
Fike Explosion Safety Consultant.

Erweiterte Service-App
Wenn der digitale Zwilling den realen Schaltschrank überlagert
Mit Eplan eView AR alle Daten im Blick: Splitscreen-Ansicht von Schaltplan
und digitalem Zwilling in Augmented Reality
Die neuen Funktionen der App
„eView AR“ geben per Tablet
oder Smartphone vor allem eines:
Vollen Überblick über verbaute
Komponenten im Schaltschrank
– inklusive Zugang zur
elektrotechnischen Dokumentation.
Durch die Überlagerung
eines realen Schaltschrankes
mit seinem digitalen Zwilling
werden virtuelle und reale Welt
perfekt verknüpft. Diese ARgestützte
Visualisierung steigert
die Informationstiefe: Servicetechniker
werden durch
den Prozess geführt.
Eplan präsentiert in Hannover
erste Einblicke in die erweiterte
App „eView AR“, die das Potenzial
hat, die Welt in Service
und Instandhaltung zu revolutionieren.
Konkret geht es um
die elektrotechnische Dokumentation
von Schaltschränken,
die per Augmented Reality
verfügbar gemacht wird. Nicht
in irgendeinem Projekt, nicht
am Schreibtisch des Elektrotechnikers,
sondern direkt im
Betrieb, also am Schaltschrank.
App führt Servicetechniker
durch den Prozess
Mit der erweiterten App, die ab
Mai 2024 verfügbar sein soll,
können Servicetechniker per
Tablet oder Smartphone den
realen Schaltschrank mit seinem
digitalen Zwilling überlagern.
Kurz: Direkt am Schaltschrank
hat der Techniker den
digitalen Zugriff auf jede einzelne
Komponente. Ein Beispiel:
Ein Motorschutzschalter
soll erneuert werden. Visuell
wird der Servicetechniker per
AR-Highlighting geführt und
weiß genau, wo die Komponente
im Schaltschrank positioniert
ist – selbst bei verschlossener
Schaltschranktür. Gerade
in großen Schränken oder
Schrankanreihungen lassen
sich Komponenten so schnell
lokalisieren. Der Servicetechniker
kann sich dann über den digitalen
Zwilling sämtliche benötigten
Informationen bereitstellen
lassen wie beispielsweise
das Anschlussbild und die
Schaltplanseite mit der Motorstarterkombination.
Das erspart
auch das Suchen in möglicherweise
umfangreichen Papierdokumentationen.
Es führt
den Techniker oder Wartungsmitarbeiter
schnell durch seine
Tätigkeiten in der Instandhaltung.
Änderungen ins Projekt zurückspielen
Ist beispielsweise ein Schütz
auszutauschen, so zeigt der digitale
Zwilling nicht nur die
Herstellerangaben des Bauteils,
sondern verweist auch
auf seine elektrotechnische
Dokumentation. Per Red- oder
Greenlining vermerkt der Techniker
den Austausch dieses
Bauteils und das Engineering
kann die Änderungen einfach
auf allen Seiten der elektrotechnischen
Dokumentation
umsetzen. Falls es Querverweise
zu anderen Schaltplanseiten
gibt, werden diese im Engineering
ebenfalls automatisch aktualisiert.
Das Beste: Die Kollaboration
in Eplan erfolgt dabei
bidirektional – vom Service ins
Engineering und auch umgekehrt.
QR-Code sichert eindeutige
Zuordnung
Ein in Eplan generierter QR-
Code verbindet die Dokumentation
des Schaltschranks mit
dem realen Schrank im Betrieb.
Das Projekt wird in der Eplan
Cloud abgelegt und ist somit
eindeutig zugeordnet. Per AR-
Funktion wird die 3D-Ansicht
des Schaltschrankaufbaus auf
die Montageplatte bzw. den
Schaltschrank selbst überlagert.
Der digitale Zwilling aus
Eplan Pro Panel wird 1:1 auf die
Komponenten im Innenraum
des Schrankes gelegt – und das
einfach per Tablet oder
Smartphone. Mit der AR-App
wird die Projektdokumentation
in 2D als Schaltplan oder in 3D
als virtuelles Abbild des Schaltschranks
visualisiert.
Fehler schnell nachverfolgen
Per Splitscreen-Technologie lassen
sich auf Wunsch Schaltplan
und AR-Modell des Schrankes
auch nebeneinander abbilden.
So kann im Fall des Maschinenstillstands
der Fehler schnell
nachverfolgt werden. Dass Betriebsmittellisten,
Stücklisten,
Kabelübersichten und andere
Auswertungen wie Topologien
über einen Querverweis im Zugriff
sind, ist ein weiterer Praxisvorteil.
Schließlich entfällt
das Blättern durch die Dokumentation.
Über die Eplan
Cloud ist die gesamte Dokumentation
zu jeder Zeit und an
jedem Ort der Welt einsehbar.
Das erleichtert die Kollaboration
auch über Abteilungsgrenzen
hinweg. So wird der Prozess
in Service und Instandhaltung
beschleunigt und vereinfacht.
Hinzu kommt: Die elektrotechnische
Dokumentation
ist immer im Zugriff und immer
aktuell. Das erleichtert auch
kommende Wartungs- oder
Servicefälle.

Datenzentrierung und Modularisierung als wichtige Bausteine in Wasserstoffanlagen
Nachhaltige Lösungen durch kooperatives Engineering
Bild: Aucotec
Die Kooperationsplattform Engineering Base vernetzt Anlagen und die unterschiedlichen Gewerke miteinander
Transparent, flexibel, agil, effektiv: In der immer globaler vernetzten Prozessindustrie
spielt der effiziente Austausch von Daten und Informationen
eine entscheidende Rolle. Datengestützte Technologien unterstützen Unternehmen
dabei, schnell und sinnvoll auf Veränderungen zu reagieren, durch
transparente Prozesse bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen und kürzere Projektzyklen
zu erreichen – der Schlüssel für mehr Nachhaltigkeit.
Die Aucotec AG begegnet diesen
Herausforderungen und
zeigt auf der ACHEMA in Frankfurt
ihre Lösungen für die internationale
Prozessindustrie: im
Anlagenbau, auf der Sonderschau
Wasserstoff und im Digital
Hub. Im Mittelpunkt: die Kooperationsplattform
Engineering
Base.
Daten treiben Prozess -
industrie an
Mit Engineering Base als
Schlüsselkomponente zeigt Aucotec,
wie Anlagen und die unterschiedlichen
Gewerke effizient
miteinander vernetzt
werden und optimal zusammenarbeiten
können. Denn:
Anlagen, Maschinen und Komponenten
werden immer autonomer
und modularer. Zusammengeführte
Anlagen- und
Prozessdaten verbessern dabei
Steuerung, Wartung und Produktionsqualität.
„Engineering Base ist für das
gesamte Anlagenleben konzipiert
– und wird damit schlussendlich
zum Herzstück in Prozessindustrie
und Anlagenbau“,
betont Aucotec-Vorstandsmitglied
Uwe Vogt. „Wir schaffen
die Verbindung zwischen Unternehmensprozessen
durch
eine datenzentrierte Kooperationsplattform.“
Umfangreiche
Erweiterungen der seit vielen
Jahren etablierten Software
konnten Engineering Base in
eine führende Position als echte
‚Single Source of Truth‘ im
Anlagenbau bringen.
Aufgrund der erfolgreichen
technologischen und wirtschaftlichen
Entwicklung von
Aucotec in den vergangenen
Jahren, präsentiert das Unternehmen
seine Konzepte, Ideen
und Antworten für die Prozessindustrie
in diesem Jahr gleich
auf drei Ständen.
Kooperatives Engineering
als Basis
Im Fokus des Aucotec-Hauptstands
im Bereich Anlagenbau
in Halle 9 (Stand D36) steht Engineering
Base als Grundlage
für das kooperative Engineering
zwischen verschiedenen
Gewerken und Abteilungen.
„Unsere Softwareplattform gewährleistet
eine stete Datenkonsistenz
durch disziplinübergreifendes
Engineering auf einer
gemeinsamen, objektorientierten
Datenbasis, der Single
Source of Truth“, erklärt Henry
Bloch, Leiter Produktmanagement
bei Aucotec.
Heißt im Detail: Sobald mehrere
Ingenieure kooperativ zusammenarbeiten,
wird die Objekthistorie
von Ventilen, Pumpen,
Rohrleitungen sowie allen
elektrischen und prozessgesteuerten
Geräten sehr wichtig.
„Hier spielt das Change Management
eine große Rolle, das
höchste Transparenz über das
gesamte Projekt hinweg gewährleistet.
Damit minimieren
unsere Kunden Fehler und verbessern
die Qualität der Daten
und der zugehörigen Dokumentation“,
so Bloch. Aucotec
zeigt auf der ACHEMA, wie Veränderungen
der Anlage innerhalb
des Datenmodells und aller
zugehörigen Diagramme
und Dokumente, einschließlich
des Revisionsmanagements,
zuverlässig verfolgt werden
können. Objekt-Historie, interne
Aufgabenverwaltung und
Bild: Aucotec
Uwe Vogt, Mitglied des
Vorstandes bei Aucotec
Workflow-Assistenz stehen
ebenso im Mittelpunkt.
Nicht zuletzt ist modulares Engineering
mit disziplinübergreifenden
Typicals und Variantenmanagement
mit Engineering
Base möglich – was vor allem
bei Wasserstoffanlagen
entscheidend ist.
Schneller zu grünem Wasserstoff
Bislang gibt es auf dem internationalen
Wasserstoffmarkt
zu wenig Elektrolyse-Kapazitäten
für die benötigten Mengen,
doch das soll sich ändern: Für
das Jahr 2050 wird nach Angaben
des Statistik-Portals statista
eine Produktionsmenge von
weltweit rund 25 Mio. t von
grünem Wasserstoff prognostiziert.
Andere Szenarien zeigen
sogar deutlich höhere Zahlen.
Was Deutschland betrifft, so
wird laut Wasserstoffstrategie
des Bundesministeriums für
Wirtschaft und Energie für das
Jahr 2030 der Ausbau von Elektrolyse-Kapazitäten
auf ein Niveau
von 5 GW geplant.
Das Ziel von Aucotec ist es,
Elektrolyseur-Hersteller zu unterstützen,
ihre Kapazitäten
schneller zu erhöhen und grünen
Wasserstoff in großem
Maßstab zu produzieren. Der
Schwerpunkt liegt auf skalierbaren
Engineering-Prozessen
für kürzere Projektlaufzeiten.
Modularisierung und Standardisierung
von Anlagen senken
den gesamten Engineering-
Aufwand deutlich. Insbesondere
die Datenzentrierung und
Modularisierung sind in Wasserstoffanlagen
wichtige Bausteine
– zum einen um die Projektlaufzeiten
von Elektrolyseuren
zu verkürzen und qualitativ
Bild: Aucotec
Henry Bloch, Leiter Produkt -
management bei Aucotec
hochwertige Daten für die spätere
betriebliche Nutzung zu
erzeugen, zum anderen um in
der Folge die Produktionskosten
von (grünem) Wasserstoff
zu senken. Aucotec zeigt diese
Zukunft des Engineerings in
der Sonderschau Wasserstoff
(Halle 6.0, Stand C75).
Einheitliche Standards für
die Daten
Im Digital Hub in Halle 11,
Stand D51, zeigen die Aucotec-
Experten, wie digitaler Datenaustausch
für integriertes Engineering
funktioniert – und dass
Objektorientierung mit dem
Feed-Engineering einschließlich
des Imports von Simulationsdaten,
der Definition von
Asset 360 Templates in Excel
und der Definition von Datenaustauschformaten
beginnt.
Der Wert von Daten wird für alle
Beteiligten in der Prozessindustrie
immer sichtbarer. Die
Datenmengen nehmen in den
verschiedenen Planungsphasen
einer Anlage, wie Basic-,
Prozess- und Detail-Engineering,
enorm zu. Um sicherzustellen,
dass die Anlagendaten
von Engineering Base ihren
größtmöglichen Wert entfalten,
werden standardisierte Informationsmodelle
implementiert.
Diese und Datenaustauschformate
stehen ebenso
im Mittelpunkt, wie beispielsweise
IEC 81346, IEC 61850,
DEXPI, CFIHOS, OPC UA, Jip 33,
AML oder EBML. Weitere Themen:
Engineering Base Mobile
View, der erweiterte CAD-Import
oder die sogenannte Verwaltungsschale.
„Unsere Software ermöglicht
die Verbindung der Vorteile einer
hochstandardisierten Produktwelt
mit den individuellen
Anforderungen im Bereich Anlagenbau.
Damit garantieren
wir effiziente und nachhaltige
Prozesse und Geschäftsmodelle
in der Branche“, resümiert
Vogt. „Engineering Base ist bereits
heute eine Erfolgsgeschichte
in der Welt der verfahrenstechnischen
Anlagen –
und sie ist noch längst nicht zu
Ende.“

Grignard reagents can be formed
continuously in a novel process
window constituted by a
large excess of magnesium that
is activated in-situ. This group
is showcasing a pilot reactor
setup that provides a continuous
feed, not only of the liquid,
but also of the solid component,
rendering the process
truly continuous in nature.
Through continuous processing
quality improvement goes
hand in hand with cost savings,
as well as an increase in production
flexibility. Also highlighted
will be a microreactor
engineered for continuousflow
photochemistry. Microstructured
flow reactors are
ideal for performing photochemical
syntheses. Incident
light is perfectly utilized with
gas and liquid streams and
solid phases in microchannels
or capillaries. Full irradiation of
the reaction solution is combined
with precise control over
the irradiation time as defined
by volume in the channels and
capillaries and flow rate. Microreaction
technology and photochemical
synthesis are most
fruitful partners for the sustainable
production of high
value fine chemicals. mpb

of their latest platform release
Seamless collaboration in
multidisciplinary teams is fundamental
to the successful
completion of plant engineering
projects. These requirements
formed the basis for the
further development of Cadison
for its newest version,
R23. The engineering platform
is applicable throughout the
entire plant lifecycle. During
planning, a smooth exchange
of information with project
participants who are not working
with the engineering solution
is crucial. Plant designers
must be able to easily share
the project status and obtain
feedback and approvals in a
straightforward manner. The
following innovations support
these requirements.
In Cadison, all data converges
into a single database during
planning and throughout the
entire lifecycle, creating a socalled
Single Source of Truth.
This data-driven and integrated
approach promotes
seamless collaboration among
the various involved disciplines,
the central data is accessible
to all project partners at
any time and is updated in
real-time. Additionally, this
way of working allows for the
synchronization of P&ID and
3D, reports can be generated
with a click, and integration
with an ERP system supports in
tendering, price calculation
and provides information on
delivery dates.

Smart Connectors
These Connectors Digitalize Transducers
Individual sensor parameters can also be stored in the Almemo 07
Powerful microprocessors have
made it possible to create completely
self-sufficient digital
sensors that function like a
measuring device themselves.
The intelligence of the digital
sensors is located in the connector
plug. In addition to increasing
the flexibility of a digital
sensor, individual sensor parameters,
such as linearization,
scaling, attenuation, averaging,
measuring rate or longer comments
can also be stored in the
intelligent Almemo D7 and D6
connectors. It is even possible
to digitalize sensors from completely
different manufacturers
via the intelligent connector
and connecting them to Almemo
measuring systems.
The digitization of sensors
makes it possible to consider
the measuring device and sensor
separately during a traceable
initial calibration or recalibration.
The device itself no
longer needs to be taken into
account during calibration. Each
digital sensor with an Almemo
D7 or D6 connector forms a selfcontained,
calibratable measuring
chain. This means that the
sensors can be calibrated independently
of the measuring system,
saving time and money. To
avoid possible process downtimes
or high installation costs,
only one additional sensor is
required as a replacement.
Almemo digital technology
makes it possible to connect
devices from different manufacturers,
including scales, centrifuges,
particle counters or
numerous sensors with analog
or digital interfaces and other
communication protocols to
the Almemo data logger. Once
adapted, all data and sensor
Source: Ahlborn
parameters are automatically
detected, immediately visualized
and recorded centrally or
decentrally simply by plugging
the connector into the measuring
device. Measuring devices
that were previously difficult to
implement become highly flexible
everyday measuring aids,
without the need for programming,
parameter changes or
software adjustment.
The separation of an electronic
conversion of analog to digital
signals from the sensor and the
accommodation of the digital
technology in the connector
opens up a multitude of further
metrological advantages. For
example, a digital Almemo D7
or D6 connector offers space
for 10 measurement and calculation
channels.

Functional Safety
Driving Digitalization of Functional Safety to the Next Level
With a holistic portfolio of solutions
for the digitalization of a
plant’s safety lifecycle, the
HIMA Group has set out to significantly
simplify the compliant
operation of functional
safety in the process industry.
At Achema, HIMA is not only
showcasing its portfolio of
safety-related automation solutions,
but will also be using its
presence in Frankfurt to demonstrate
the next stage of its
digitalization strategy. „Secure
live connections from Frankfurt
to our Customer Solutions
Centers in Brühl and Singapore
illustrate what is already possible
and how we are consistently
driving forward the idea
of digitalizing the safety lifecycle,“
explains Jörg de la
Motte, CEO of the HIMA Group.
Just like at the trade fair, customers
will be able to use secure
connections to HIMA‘s
Customer Solutions Center to
perform tasks such as simulating
the control of safety systems,
testing the automatic inventorying
of their safety assets,
or carrying out automatic
recurrent tests. For example,
they will be able to see how
safety-relevant plant and operating
data can be combined
across site boundaries in order
to meet the IEC 61511 standard‘s
requirements in practice.
„With our trade fair presence,
we are creating a digital showcase
for our Customer Solutions
Center,“ explains Sergej
Arent, director, Applications, at
the HIMA Group. “Customers
will be able to discuss and shed
light on their issues with HIMA
experts in person, and also remotely
in digital workshops.
The resulting solutions can
then be remotely tested and
validated with hardware and
software from the manufacturer
and partner companies in
the Customer Solutions
Centers.”
At Achema, HIMA will be demonstrating
how this works in
practice: In live workshops, the
health and status of products
and solutions will be visible
using video links. In this way,
large plant components such as
block valves for steam turbines,
which would be too
large to transport to Frankfurt
or to customers, can be tested
remotely with at least as much
insight as an in-person test.
Customers at distant locations
can draw on the know-how of
HIMA experts who are connected
from Brühl or Singapore.
Safety experts see HIMA’s
Safety Lifecycle Digitalization
as a holistic process that ranges
from engineering through operations
to expansions and
modifications, and which
makes the management of
safety technology more efficient
and easier for plant operators.
This is significant because
over 80% of accidents in
process industry plants can be
attributed to human error. Digitized
processes, including
automatic tests, not only help
Sergej Arent (left) and Jörg de la Motte (right) of HIMA
Source: HIMA
to eliminate errors and lost information,
but also to enhance
safety thanks to stringent adherence
to processes. The digitized
process also enables new
analysis and optimization options
– for example, by automatically
determining and displaying
key performance indicators
(KPIs). This enables a
real-time feedback loop for operations
and safety experts. In
practice, HIMA customers report
savings of up to 70%. ond

Digital Tools minimise Risks and accelerate Projects
Modernisation of Process Control Systems
Guido Wink, General Manager for the
Netherlands and responsible for systems and
software within Emerson in Europe
Source: Emerson
Rob Spilsbury, sales director for the modernisation
business in Europe, Emerson
Many process plants have legacy process control systems. These systems require
special expertise and spare parts to keep them running. The old systems
also usually do not allow the full potential of the plant to be utilised.
Despite these obvious limitations, there is still a reluctance to modernise.
Guido Wink and Rob Spilsbury from Emerson explain how the transition of
legacy process automation systems to new technology can be done efficiently
and without any risk.
Source: Emerson
What is the main reason for
companies to modernise
their process automation
and control systems?
Guido Wink: It‘s a huge pressure
on the industry coming
from economical factors. The
plants need to work more and
more efficient, more data is
required for sustainability reporting,
and if you look at the
work force, old work force is retiring,
and new professionals
are hard to find. What we see in
the companies, is that a lot of
the systems are so old – some -
times 20 to 30 years – that the
technology, and also the knowledge
for a smooth operation is
no longer available. That was
the time of Word Perfect 5.1
and Windows NT and that is
still the technology some of our
customers‘ plants are running
on. So there is an enormous
pressure on the industry to
modernise their control systems
to make data available at
the right place.
Why have the systems not
been modernised for so
long?
Wink: Because it‘s complex to
change the whole process
control architecture. Over these
20 to 30 years, a lot has
changed in the systems, but
the current employees don‘t
know exactly all the changes in
the programming and in the
codes that have been done. Not
every field device is connected
anymore. All this kind of
changes are a huge risk, when
transferring the control system
into a modern one. That‘s why,
in contradiction to IT systems,
they didn‘t want to touch it. It‘s
risky and there are too much
investments required.
However, modern devices
are often already installed at

the field device level, for
example, so why were
investments made here?
Wink: Yes, regarding the field
devices, they are generally in a
more modern condition, because
it is much easier to re -
place a field device. If the de -
vice didn‘t work anymore it‘s already
been replaced by a version
which e.g. has WirelessHART,
and all the latest technologies.
That has been done
all over the time. But the process
control systems haven‘t
been touched. And so the data
from the field often cannot be
made available in the upper
management levels. It is then
not possible to transfer the data
to the cloud or make it available
for remote applications and
ana lyses. The big challenge for
our customers now is to touch
the legacy obsolete process
control system and replace it
with a modern, cloud-based
system such as DeltaV.
What are the requirements
for modernisation with the
Emerson DeltaV system?
Spilsbury: It doesn‘t matter if
our customers have Emerson
devices or devices from com -
petitors in their field. Also the
obsolete control system can be
an old Emerson system or e.g.
from Honeywell or Siemens.
We can always realise the transition
from the legacy system to
a modern system with low risks
and manageable investment
costs. Tools such as DeltaV
Revamp or DeltaV IO.Connect
help with the migration.
What are the advantages?
Wink: First of all, it is important
to have a look at all assets in the
plant and their status in order to
obtain an accurate picture of
the existing instrumentation
and control technology of the
entire plant. The cloud-based
DeltaV Revamp software so -
lution is helping to analyse the
old code of a field device, for
example. The software offers a
fully integrated digital workflow
that utilises the power of arti -
ficial intelligence. DeltaV
Revamp automatically converts
the logic of the existing control
system into a fully tested and
documented control system database.
The corresponding results
are then fed into the
stand ard project planning platform.
From the results, project
teams can see to what extent
the conversion of the existing
code can be automated and
how much needs to be created
and revised manually. Based on
this data, the transition to complete
DeltaV systems with decentralised
control and safetyoriented
system instrumenta -
tion can then take place.
What role does DeltaV
IO.Connect play in the
migration?
Wink: DeltaV IO.connect uses
the I/O systems of the legacy
system so you don‘t have to
touch certain areas in the
plant, especially in the field,
during the transition process.
In this way, the system can be
migrated in a very short time. If
all the steps have been well
prepared, we are talking about
a few weeks of system down -
time compared to months with
the conventional approach.
What is the feedback you get
from your customers about
the benefits of modernising
with DeltaV?
Spilsbury: The CAPEX investment
really has to pay off as
early as possible and the new
technology then needs to be a
platform for the future. Once
the systems have been implemented,
very often our cus -
tomers give us the feedback
that the investment in DeltaV
technology improves their
efficiency, tied to leading to
better energy management, reduction
in batch cycle times, removing
qualitative defects, and
allowing access to information
that can drive better performance
of the field de vices.
Wink: What we also often see
is: When customers have finished
a modernisation project
and see the benefit, they are
starting a sort of programme
with Emerson to modernise all
their systems world wide. In this
way they certainly can make
sure that in all the plants the
same system is running, with
the same operating philosophy,
There is still a great deal of reluctance to modernise outdated
process control systems. With the right tools, migration can
succeed efficiently and without risk
and the same maintenance
philosophy. If customers are
collecting data worldwide, they
have the benefit to have access
to all the the sides, to see how
the sites are running, and how
the systems are running.
Which sectors do the majority
of customers come from?
Wink: We have programmes
with life science customers, but
also in the chemical industry as
well as in oil and gas and in the
power industry. We are very
strong in all market segments,
so that‘s absolutely a strong
point for us.
Spilsbury: But they all have
their own unique challenges,
e.g. pharmaceutical regulatories,
environments which are
changing, a different philosophy
in terms of sustainability,
so they‘ll all have different
benefits from the technology.
Even if it reduces the risk of
downtime that‘s the minimum
people should accept from an
investment in the new technology.
This means that all customers
want different benefits
from DeltaV technology and we
do our best to fulfil these
requirements.
Can you name a succesful
modernisation project?
Spilsbury: There is a trend towards
greater sustainability in
the chemical industry. Lyondellbasell
in Wesseling, for
example, selected Emerson to
modernise the control systems
and software at the company‘s
Wesseling site in Germany. To
this end, a legacy system was
converted to DeltaV. The driver
behind that was actually that
they‘ve changed from a traditional
feedstock to a green or
sustainable feedstock which
then meant they had to modernise
their control system infrastructure
to support a different
processing philosophy. The

is long. „This makes it all
the more important for the process
industry to bring innovation
and practice together
and show how measurement
technology can help to comply
with the strictest safety standards
while increasing efficiency
and profitability,“ says Andreas
Leppert, industry manager
Chemical & Oil at Endress+Hauser
Germany. The

focus here is on supporting the
optimization of CO 2
emissions,
as well as progressive digitalization.
SIL-certified Measuring
Malfunctions in process plants
can have serious consequences
for the environment, people
and machinery. The more complex
the plant, the greater the
risk of safety-relevant malfunctions.
In the chemical, oil and
life sciences sectors in particular,
the process environment
also harbors considerable risks.
For example, the measurement
technology used must not only
withstand extreme corrosion or
temperature, it must also guarantee
safety in potentially explosive
areas. At ACHEMA,
Endress+Hauser will be presenting
SIL-certified measuring
devices and intelligent testing
concepts that systematically reduce
safety risks. This also includes
its Heartbeat Technology
diagnostic and testing concept.
Key Technology Ethernet APL
However, digitalization not only
contributes to greater sustainability,
but also promotes increased
efficiency. This requires
intelligent, seamlessly networked
measurement technology:
„The networking of field
devices offers great potential
for improving system performance.
However, 97% of field
data has so far remained
unused,“ says Leppert. Thanks
to Ethernet Advanced Physical
Layer (APL), it is now possible
for devices in the process industry
to communicate with each
other at high speed and over
distances of up to 1,000 m. „We
want to show on site that Ethernet
APL is a key technology that
closes the gap in the automation
pyramid towards the
field level and thus opens doors
for more efficient processes,“

Instrumentation/Process Automation
Integration and Networking
SPE, IO-Link and Sensor-to-Cloud
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) offers considerable advantages
Jumo is on a dynamic-development path towards becoming a leading system and solution provider for
industrial sensor and automation technology. This change is clearly demonstrated by the integration
and networking of modern technologies, such as Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), IO-Link and sensor-tocloud
communication in the Jumo system world.
SPE is a pioneering development
in the world of industrial
communication technologies.
Originally developed in the
automotive industry, SPE offers
considerable advantages for industrial
automation. It uses only
a single wire pair for data transmission,
which enables a leaner,
less-expensive and simpler infrastructure,
while maintaining
high data transmission rates.
SPE supports data rates of up to
1 Gbit/s with a line length of 40
m and enables consistent data
transmission right down to the
field level. Jumo uses the
10BASE-T1L standard with a
lower, but still perfectly adequate,
data transmission rate
of 10 Mbit/s. A line length of up
to 1,000 m can be achieved.
The advantages of SPE include
space and weight savings, easier
installation, cost savings,
longer range, faster data transmission,
and integrated power
supply via PoDL. These features
make SPE ideal for networking
in the context of the
industrial internet of things
(IIoT) and Industry 4.0, as it
meets the requirements for
ever greater networking of devices
and data-driven decisionmaking.

Importance of IO Link
IO-Link is a communication
technology that has been part
of Jumo‘s product portfolio for
many years. It ensures seamless
communication between sensors,
actuators and the control
system. As the first standardized
IO technology for communication
with sensors and
actuators, IO-Link enables bidirectional,
digital point-to-point
industrial network logging.
The key features of IO-Link include
bidirectional communication,
device parameterization,
comprehensive diagnostic
capabilities and flexibility
in supporting a wide range
of intelligent Jumo devices. IO-
Link also plays a central role in
the implementation of smart
manufacturing and the fourth
industrial revolution by providing
an intelligent solution for
optimizing production processes
and improving production
efficiency as well as occupational
safety.
Machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication is also a key element
of Industry 4.0. It refers
to the automated exchange of
data between machines, systems,
and devices, often via a
network, without human intervention.
This communication
enables machines to exchange
information, coordinate tasks,
and make decisions based on
real-time data.
M2M-communication refers to
the direct exchange of data between
devices, machines, sensors,
and control systems such
as the Jumo variTRON 500. This
communication usually takes
place via wireless or wired networks
and is a central component
of automation and monitoring
systems in various industries.
The concept is closely linked to
IoT, where the focus is on interaction
between machines. SPE
and IO-Link play a decisive role
in M2M communication. SPE
enables the fast and efficient
transmission of large amounts
of data via a single wire pair,
which can be a great benefit in
complex automation environments.
By integrating SPE, machines
and sensors can communicate
over greater distances
and transmit data more
efficiently. IO-Link technology
scores points by providing a robust
and flexible platform for
the exchange of sensor data
and control signals.
The bidirectional communication
capability of IO-Link enables
detailed diagnostics and
real-time feedback from sensors
and actuators, which is essential
for precise control and
monitoring in M2M networks.
Jumo has recognized these advantages
and successfully integrated
both technologies into
its product portfolio.
Importance of M2M
M2M communication is used in
many areas in which Industry
4.0 is applied, one of which is
production automation. This is
where M2M enables precise
control and monitoring of production
processes. Machines
can exchange status data and
adapt processes based on realtime
information. Another
point is predictive maintenance,
which enables constant
monitoring of device statuses
and triggers preventive maintenance
measures before faults
occur. Energy management
within M2M technology can be
used to monitor and control
energy consumption to increase
efficiency and reduce
costs. In this context, logistics
and supply chain management
enable improved tracking and
management of warehouse
stocks, as well as means of
transportation.
Not only M2M communication,
but also sensor-to-cloud technologies
play a decisive role in
the digital transformation of industrial
automation. They enable
sensor data to be transferred
directly to the cloud,
where it can be used for analysis,
decision-making and process
improvements. This development
is a central component
of Industry 4.0 and IIoT.
At Jumo, sensor-to-cloud refers
to the connection of smart sensors
in industrial environments
directly to the Jumo Cloud. This
connection allows data from
production processes to be acquired
efficiently and converted
into usable information.
Smart sensors play a key role
here, as they can send data directly
to the cloud without the
need for additional components.
This direct data flow enables
production data to be
used quickly and efficiently,
which increases productivity
and reduces costs.
Smart Sensors
The integration of SPE within
these smart sensors significantly
expands sensor-to-cloud
solutions and their possibilities.
SPE in combination with
the JUMO Cloud gateway that
is integrated in the sensor implements
a robust and efficient
connection between information
technology (IT) and
the operation technology (OT)
world. If the connection to the
cloud server is lost, data is buffered
in the smart sensor and
an alarm is triggered.
In summary, it can be said that
Jumo is taking a significant
step towards becoming a comprehensive
system and solution
provider by introducing
innovative technologies, such
as SPE, IO-Link and sensor-tocloud
communication.

Pharmaceutical Robotics
Automating the Gap between Fill-Finish and Freeze Dryer
Automating transportation from the end of the fill-finish line to the freeze dryer is currently a major focus of automation upgrades
Robots in the pharmaceutical
industry must meet strict criteria
beyond the requirements of
most other industries. The
focus is on cleanability and
compatibility with decontamination
media and processes as
defined by good manufacturing
practice (GMP) grades.
A look at the set-up of pharmaceutical
production lines, particularly
fill-finish machines
and freeze dryers, can reveal
key trends in automation. In
new plants, these stations are
usually arranged close to one
another. This is not always the
case at existing plants that
require automation upgrades;
therefore, automating transportation
from the end of the
fill-finish line to the freeze
dryer is currently a major focus
of automation upgrades.
Traditionally, product containers
are moved between filling
and freeze drying stations
either by conveyors or humans.
But a more efficient and
safer alternative is on the horizon:
automated guided vehicles

Life Cycle Assessment from Syntegon Provides Valuable Insights for Siegfried
Tracking Down Emissions
Source: Syntegon
Siegfried fills a variety of liquid pharmaceuticals on Syntegon equipment
Syntegon has recently developed its own calculation model based on so-called
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA). The method allows the company to evaluate
energy consumption and emissions during the entire life cycle of its
machines.
Companies in the pharmaceutical
industry are increasingly
aiming for resource efficiency
and ecological processes.
Boehringer Ingelheim, for
example, plans to achieve CO 2
neutrality by 2030 (Scope 1 and
2). Bayer AG is aiming for zero
net greenhouse gas emissions
by 2050. There are numerous
ways to achieve those goals:
electricity and compressed air
from ecological sources, alternative
packaging materials, or
modified production processes
can pave the way to more
sustainable production in the
long term.
Data is the Key
However, if technological and
process-related adjustments
are to succeed, they need another
important resource that
is far less obvious than the systems
and products themselves
– data. Quantified consumption
and emissions allow
manufacturers to draw conclusions
and make adjustments
at machine or process level. Besides
sufficient time, comprehensive
data collection
requires a calculation methodology
that is appropriate for
existing systems such as a filling
line for liquid pharmaceuticals.
The approach needs to accurately
record electricity and
media consumption like water
and compressed air, and to allocate
the values to different
operating modes and machines.
This way, it can provide
a holistic overview of consumption
at different times.
Siegfried, a pharmaceutical
contract manufacturer based in
Switzerland and with production
sites in Germany, has
tackled this task together with
a well-versed expert who also
supplies the filling systems.
Syntegon has recently developed
its own calculation model
based on so-called Life Cycle
CO 2 -Footprint for a campaign with four batches
Assessments (LCA). The method
allows the company to evaluate
energy consumption and
emissions during the entire life
cycle of its machines. Following
extensive in-house calculations
based on empirical values, the
experts in processing and packaging
technology have carried
out an LCA using data from the
contract manufacturer.
Practical Implementation
“On the one hand, Siegfried
wanted to determine emission
savings associated with green
energy,” Steffen Carbon, responsible
for sustainable product
design at Syntegon, recalls.
“On the other hand, the company
was eager to understand
Source: Syntegon
the effects of modified production
processes on the overall
emissions at their German site.
After all, the filling line accounts
for around a tenth of
the site‘s energy consumption.
This gave us the opportunity to
carry out LCA calculations with
specific production data for the
first time.”
Siegfried operates several Syntegon
filling lines for various
liquid pharmaceuticals, including
filling, capping, and crimping
machines for glass containers
as well as sterilizing and
cleaning equipment. Process
systems to produce water for
injection (WFI) are also part of
Siegfried’s set-up. The company
switched from conventional
electricity from a local supplier
to certified electricity from renewable
energy sources such
as wind and water to ensure
the ecological operation of all
components. Moreover, a
nearby waste incineration plant
provides steam for WFI production.
An efficient compressed
air system further supplies machine
parts and cleaning systems
with compressed air.
Insightful Findings
“The company didn‘t know
exactly how these adjustments
would affect its emissions. Our
analysis provided transparency,
especially as all the machines
on site are from the vast Syntegon
portfolio. If needed, we
were able to draw on existing
data from our respective production
sites to complete the
analysis,” says Steffen Carbon.
Syntegon’s experts and Siegfried‘s
production specialists
compiled the data over the
course of a week. “We defined
CO 2 -savings with campaign filling
beforehand what information
we needed, such as data on
electricity and steam consumption,
compressed air, and WFI.
We correlated this with material
values from a specialized database
to determine the actual
emissions of each category.”
Up to 80 Percent
The results of the comprehensive
calculations: by using
green electricity, self-generated
steam, and compressed
air, Siegfried reduces its CO 2
emissions by up to 80 %. WFI
generation contributes around
50 %, while the use of electricity
for all machines accounts
for a third. The rest relates to
compressed air generation.
“This is a remarkable result
that proves two things: major
savings can be achieved with
appropriate resource adjustments.
However, we can also
see that a large share of the
emissions is still generated during
the utilization phase when
using green energy, which in
this case still causes two thirds
of the emissions over the life
cycle. This phase is therefore
the most important area for
further reductions.”
Campaign Filling
A second calculation, which focused
on the effects of modified
production processes on
CO₂ emissions, demonstrated
the potential of such a change.
Instead of running several individual
batches, the CDMO
relies on so-called campaign
filling, i. e. several batches in
combination. This reduces
format changes, such as adjustments
to mechanical components,
and cleaning to a mini-

Steffen Carbon, responsible for sustainable product design at Syntegon
mum. The time-saving process
has a noticeable effect on
emissions. “Here, too, we collected
data on the different
production cycles and took a
close look at the operating
modes. How much energy does
the filling line need during operation?
How much in standby
mode?” explains Carbon.
The evaluation of the average
times for individual and campaign
batches reveals that
Siegfried saves up to 20 % in
emissions during campaign operation.
“Significantly reduced
format changes and the oneoff
setting for campaign filling
do the trick,” says Steffen Carbon.
While the specific project
largely focused on ongoing operations,
the expert recommends
that companies evaluate
other modes as well: “Detailed
analyses, for example of
the various standby modes, are
necessary to determine how
much energy is really needed
during non-productive times.
Operators have several options
to effectively control resource
consumption and emissions,”
the expert points out.
The Course for the Future
Syntegon’s analyses provide
key insights in both cases. “We
are currently at the beginning
of evaluating our LCA. Further
adjustments to production processes
could be an option,
based on detailed emission
analyses at product and packaging
material level, which we
can also cover,“ he explains.
Determining the influence of
packaging materials such as
glass on emissions is a further
possibility. The LCA is not an
end in itself but offers important
guidance that companies
can take into account when
carefully planning and fulfilling
regulatory requirements – and
that point the way to a world
with less negative environmental
impact.

Etikettierzelle für Pharma- und Healthcare-Produkte
Wenn der Roboter effizienter etikettiert
Wie Robotik anspruchsvolle Etikettierprozesse
zuverlässiger,
kostengünstiger und schneller
macht, zeigt Herma am Messe -
stand. Herma präsentiert dort
die 211 HC RC, eine robotikge -
stützte Etikettierzelle für die
Rundum-Etikettierung. Die Etikettierzelle
ist speziell ausgelegt
für Pharmaprodukte wie
kleine Vials, Pens, Spritzen und
Karpulen. Bei kleinen Losgrößen
wurden solche Produkte
bislang oft in halbautomatischen
Etikettierma schinen gekennzeichnet.
Das erforderte
eine arbeitskraftintensive, manuelle
Zuführung und Entnahme
einzelner Produkte. Außerdem
ging es oftmals einher mit
einer gewissen Fehleranfälligkeit.
Mit der 211 HC RC können
Bedienende ihren Arbeitsablauf
zuverlässig optimieren.
Mithilfe eines intuitiven Schubladensystems
ge langen nicht
etikettierte Produkte direkt in
die Trays der geschlossenen
Etikettierzelle, ohne dass die
Sicherheitsabdeckung geöffnet
werden muss. Dieser innovative
Ansatz steigert nicht nur die
Effizienz, sondern erhöht auch
die Sicherheit und sorgt für einen
rei bungslosen Arbeitsablauf
mit minimalen Unterbre -
chungen. Der Roboter entnimmt
die Produkte dem Tray
und legt sie präzise in die Etikettierstation,
die mit einem
Herma 500 ausgestattet ist.
Nach dem Etikettiervorgang
platziert der Roboter die etikettierten
Produkte unter ein Bildverarbeitungssystem
oder einen
Sensor, um die Anwesenheit
der Etiketten sowie variabler
Daten zu prüfen. Für gut
befundene, also bestätigte Produkte
legt er danach in ein dafür
vorgesehenes Tray oder in
bereitgestellte Umkartons;
nicht bestätigte Produkte kommen
in ein separates Tray.
Pro Minute etikettiert die
211 HC RC etwa 20 Produkte und
ist damit ca. 25 % schneller als
eine vergleichbare halbautomatische
Etikettiermaschine ohne
Robotikeinsatz, und zwar ohne
Konzentrationsverlust über längeren
Zeitraum, selbst bei einer
kontinuierlichen Produktion. Ein
weiterer Vorteil neben dem
Leistungszuwachs: „Indem wir
den gesamten Etikettiervorgang
automatisieren, reduzieren wir
erheblich das Risiko menschlicher
Fehler, die mit manuellen
Etikettieraufgaben verbunden
sind“, sagt Gary Hopkins, der
verantwortliche Robotikspezialist
bei Herma. „Dies verringert
die Gefahr von Produktrückrufen.“
Auch ein wichtiger Compliance-Aspekt:
Die Robotik-Etikettierzelle
kann so programmiert
werden, dass sie bestimmte Etikettiervorschriften
und -normen
automatisch einhält. So
werden alle Produkte stets gemäß
den gesetzlichen Bestimmungen
etikettiert. Eine Vielzahl
von möglichen Konfigurationen
macht diese Etikettierzelle
hochflexibel, um verschiedene
Arten von Etiketten anzubringen
und variable Daten in
Form von Barcodes, Seriennummern
und Verfallsdaten zu drucken.
Dazu lässt sich die
211 HC RC mit gängigen Heißfolien-,
Thermotransfer- und Laserdruckern
ausrüsten. bec

Innovations in Mixing
Novel Magnetic drive
Source: Bioreactors.net
This novel magnetic drive avoids
axial oscillation
This new magnetic drive offers
advantages over traditional
drives with its relatively easy
scalability of construction, convenient
installation and maintenance.
It has been applied in
bioreactors up to 20,000 L, and
can also be used for mixing in
other sterile processes.
The principle of the drive is
based on magnetic rotors
mounted in mixers rotating
around a stationary tube. Inside
the tube are magnetic rotors
with driving magnets,
while on the outside of the
tube, in the mixer, are mounted
driven magnets. The rotational
coupling of the mixer around
the stationary tube is ensured
with the help of SiC and ZrO2
bushings. With this design,
axial oscillation, which is typically
a limiting factor in the
scalability of mixer construction,
is avoided.

Oral Solid Dosage Production
Continuous Tablet Manufacturing
Fette Compacting is presenting
new approaches at this year’s
ACHEMA for collaborating with
users to shape the future of
tablet production: from a more
in-depth process understanding
through the development of
formulations in the laboratory
to continuous manufacturing.
The FE CPS continuous system
is at the heart of this approach.
Instead of separate production
steps, continuous manufacturing
(CM) allows ongoing processing
from the powder feedin
to the finished tablet. It
offers an accelerated adaptation
to the changing requirements
in oral solid dosage
(OSD) production. Nowadays,
the system design can be implemented
in a space-saving
manner, with simple installation
and intuitive operation. Thanks
to integrated, controllable processes,
CM is generally also
more reliable and efficient than
many batch-to-batch processes
For tablet production, Fette
Compacting has rethought the
continuous direct compression
process from scratch. The
powder is fed from the FE CPS
continuous processing system
into the tablet press without
additional granulation. Compared
to granulation-based
production, several steps are
eliminated, which reduces
space requirements and energy
consumption and makes the
process leaner overall.
The system is capable of processing
a wide range of ingredients
in a variable throughput
range of 5 to 200 kilograms per
hour. It can dose and mix up to
six powdered raw materials and
transfer them to the downstream
process. The system
unit, together with the tablet
press and terminal, can be installed
on a single level, facilitating
its integration into existing
production environments.
For the first time, Fette Compacting
has also fully integrated
the associated sensors
for quality control into the
system and its control unit.

The Highlights of ACHEMA 2024
The Heart Beats in Frankfurt
Halle 3.0/F25
The chemical industry is
undergoing the biggest transformation
in its history. Since
the European Parliament and
the Council adopted the 2021
Climate Change Act, the climate
targets have also become
legal framework and the
EU interim target for reducing
emissions by 2030 has been
raised from 40 % to at least
55 %. The legislative package
includes regulations that are
intended to put Europe on this
path. Politicians have thus set
the target. The task now is to
achieve this in the coming
years.

In line with this facts hydrogen,
sustainability and digitalisation
are the megatrends at ACHEMA
2024. On the one hand, climateneutral
technologies need to be
developed, while on the other
hand, proven processes need to
be designed in such a way that
they fulfil climate protection
criteria. A Herculean task for
which there are many solutions
to be seen at ACHEMA.
