A 10-gal/min pilot system for a phosphorus-recovery technology was operated at the Madison (Wisconsin) Metropolitan Sewerage District during October and November 2018. The technology, known…
Researchers from Chalmers niversity of Technology (Goteborg, Sweden; www.chalmers.se) have developed a patent-pending method for emoving mercury from wastewater. The technique, known as electrochemical alloying,…
Application: Process to produce white oils and waxes. Feeds: Nonrefined as well as solvent- or hydrogen-refined naphthenic or paraffinic vacuum distillates or deoiled waxes. Products:…
Application: Hydrogen finishing technology has largely replaced clay treatment of low-oil-content waxes to produce food- and medicinalgrade product specifications (color, UV absorbency and sulfur) in…
Application: Process to produce high-melting and low-oil containing hard wax products for a wide range of applications. Feeds: Different types of slack waxes from lube…
Application: Bechtel’s Dewaxing/Wax Fractionation processes are used to remove waxy components from lubrication base-oil streams to simultaneously meet desired low-temperature properties for dewaxed oils and…
Application: Selectively convert feedstock’s waxy molecules by isomerization in the presence of ISODEWAXING Catalysts. The high-quality products can meet stringent cold flow properties and viscosity…
