Our goal is a 70% reduction in emissions from fumigations by 2030! We’re tackling this through our Replace-Reduce-Recapture (3R) initiatives: 🔄 Replace: Using non-chemical methods like heat treatment wherever possible 🔄 Reduce: Minimizing the space required to be treated 🔄 Recapture: Employing experimental setups and filtration trials In 2023, we made significant strides in exploring alternatives to sulfuryl fluoride (SF) while maintaining top-quality service. We’ve also made great progress in reducing fumigation gas levels on customer sites. Thanks to our 3R activities and changes in customer demand, emissions from #fumigation decreased by 16% in 2023!

The term “natural refrigerants” is a misnomer and misleading. While ammonia, CO2, and propane appear in nature at low concentrations, their respective refrigerant-grade products (R-744, R-717, and R-290) are all chemically manufactured—requiring significant energy and resources.

Why ammonia is your future proof choice for a refrigerant? Because, in many cases, there simply is no better alternative today, tomorrow and years from now. It’s N-H-H-H and it’s here to stay. Ammonia is a (N)aturally occurring refrigerant which is climate and environmentally friendly. It has the (H)ighest efficiency, thanks to its excellent thermodynamic properties and high capacity. It has a proven use for a (H)undred and fifty years as a safe and effective refrigerant. Ammonia can be used for both (H)eating and cooling for a wide application from minus 45°C/ minus 49°F to an industry-leading 95°C/ 203°F and higher. Continuing development will bring even higher temperatures in the future.     More on ammonia? Go to GEA.com/ammonia #GoNatRefs #Ammonia #refrigeration #heatpumps  

www.Refrigeration.AI reviews Opteon Products Let's directly address the core issue: ### The Core Issue: Opteon's Motive Opteon's post appears to be an attempt to discredit natural refrigerants. Here’s why this is significant: 1. **Market Threat**: - **Natural Refrigerants’ Popularity**: Natural refrigerants like CO2, hydrocarbons, and ammonia are gaining popularity due to their lower environmental impact and regulatory pressures to phase out high-GWP synthetic refrigerants. - **Competitive Threat**: These natural alternatives pose a significant threat to companies like Opteon that produce synthetic refrigerants. The shift towards environmentally friendly options can reduce the market share and profitability of synthetic refrigerants. 2. **Defensive Marketing**: - **Tearing Down Competitors**: Opteon’s post can be seen as a defensive move to protect their market position. By attempting to discredit natural refrigerants, they are trying to sway industry professionals and stakeholders away from considering these options. - **Inability to Compete on Merit**: The need to resort to misleading claims suggests that Opteon's synthetic products might not stand up well against natural refrigerants on their own merits. If their products were superior or equally viable, there would be no need for such tactics. 3. **Ethical Implications**: - **Misinformation**: The deliberate omission of the full context around natural refrigerants indicates a willingness to mislead the audience to serve their interests. This not only undermines trust but also raises ethical concerns about their business practices. - **Impact on Public Perception**: Misleading claims can skew public perception and decision-making in the industry. This can have broader implications for environmental policy and corporate responsibility. 4. **Industry Backlash**: - **Professional Integrity**: The strong backlash from industry professionals highlights a collective pushback against what is perceived as dishonest and manipulative behavior. This response underscores the importance of integrity and transparency in maintaining industry standards and trust. ### Conclusion: Opteon’s post is a clear attempt to undermine the growing acceptance and use of natural refrigerants. This approach indicates that their synthetic products might not compete effectively on their own merits against more environmentally friendly alternatives. By spreading misleading information, Opteon aims to protect its market position, but this strategy risks damaging its reputation and trust within the industry. A good product should be able to stand on its own merits without the need to discredit competitors through dubious claims. The necessity to resort to such tactics suggests that Opteon’s synthetic refrigerants may not be as competitive or desirable as natural alternatives, calling into question their overall quality and value proposition.

SCR efficiency problems, including inadequate NOx removal, high pressure drops, and subpar ammonia mixing, incurred significant costs for ammonia plants annually due to performance declines and catalyst cleaning downtime. IGS delivered a comprehensive solution, reducing fibrous material, alleviating its effects, improving ammonia mixing, and introducing online mitigation for seamless outage prevention.

Importance of Carbon Dioxide( CO2) analysis in Carbon Capture ,Usage Transportation and Storage CO2 storage capacity is set to grow at a rapid rate as we head towards the next decade and along with that capacity come the pipelines that will transport that gas. Protecting these pipelines will depend on constant vigilance against the presence of impurities that could, if left unchecked, result in pipeline corrosion with potentially devastating outcomes. Continuous monitoring of CO2 purity and the reporting of trace contaminants will guard against pipeline degradation or even further use for Methanol or Ethanol synthesis. Online FTIR based analyzers are a well proven method of providing the analysis required to meet industry needs. A nice application note on " How FTIR analysis which quantifies the trace impurities in beverage grade CO2 to ensure that carbonated drinks are free from contaminants is helping maintain the integrity of CO2 pipeline infrastructure" https://lnkd.in/grV2hhWj #carbon #carboncapture #purity #analysis #FTIR #pipelineintegrity #methanol #ethanol #ccus #catalyst #CO2 #measurement #corrosion

#Pyrolysis involves the thermal decomposition of waste plastic under an inert atmosphere. A reactor breaks down the plastics at temperatures into smaller #hydrocarbon molecules and the cooled and treated resulting gas becomes Pyrolysis Oil - an oily mixture of liquid hydrocarbons which can replace virgin fossil fuel sources as a #feedstock for the production of liquid fuels and petrochemicals.

You have to go full circle when talking about environmental impact. A lot of refrigerants and heating and cooling solutions look good on paper – depending on the factors on which the arguments and calculations are based. The first thing to look for is a big zero when it comes to ODP, GWP, TFA, PFAS and greenhouse gas emissions. Secondly, you should take a look at the efficiency, maintenance requirements and thermodynamic properties – which refrigerant will perform better in the most cost-effective way? Thirdly, you need to investigate the footprint the manufacturing of the refrigerant is leaving behind. That should also be as low as possible. Only when all of the above is measured in you have a satisfactory basis for a decision – and if you want that decision to be valid long-term, the decision should be ammonia.
