Introducing CE Voices
A
s we continue to bring a variety of articles and news to the
pages of Chemical Engineering, we also offer a growing online
presence with additional resources for our readers to
stay in touch with what is going on in the chemical process
industries (CPI).
Many of you are already familiar with our website, with its up-todate
Latest News items, exclusive articles and much more. We have
recently added a new feature called CE Voices.
CE Voices
CE Voices is a series of short video interviews. These insightful conversations
led by our editors cover a broad range of topics that are of
interest to professionals in the CPI. Our first group of videos, which
you can currently find on our website (www.chemengonline.com;
type " CE Voices " into the search box), includes the following topics.
We hope you find them interesting and useful.
Industry Analysis from Deloitte - Duane Dickson, vice chairman
and U.S. Oil, Gas & Chemicals sector leader for Deloitte Consulting
LLP, discusses topics related to a recent mid-year analysis from
Deloitte on the outlook for the oil, gas and chemical industries. Dickson
addresses how the CPI is pivoting production to meet specific
needs caused by the pandemic and considerations that will continue
to affect production - like consumption changes that may create
new demands, and changes in travel patterns that are influencing
fuel needs. The interview touches on the topics of trade tensions and
the continued commitment of the CPI to sustainability goals. Dickson
outlines some of the longterm effects he expects from the current
pandemic, including changes to the way we work, an acceleration of
technology and an overall increased speed to commerce.
Improving Plastics Recyclability - Brands and consumers are putting
more emphasis on the recyclability of plastic products and manufacturers
are committed to pursuing a circular economy. Alan Schrob is
the consumer and industrial films group manager for NOVA Chemicals'
polyethylene business. In this interview, he explains NOVA Chemicals'
development of a resin that is used to make biaxially oriented polyethylene,
which enables the manufacture of a multilayer film for food packaging,
among other applications, that is recyclable. Schrob explains
the significance of the development, which allows for good physical
performance like heat resistance and stiffness for consumer packaging.
Neste's Sustainability Strategy -Theodore Rolfvandenbaumen,
communications manager for Neste U.S., discusses Neste's goals
to fight climate change and air pollution by producing advanced biofuels
from renewable, sustainably sourced materials. The company's
recent acquisition of Mahoney Environmental, which collects and recycles
cooking oil, is an important step in its growth strategy. Rolfvandenbaumen
explains how the company follows strict standards for
their suppliers to ensure that their raw materials are sustainably and
responsibly sourced.
The Challenges of Turndown - In this video,
Rajiv Narang, director of the Process Economics
Program at IHS Markit, discusses challenges that
facilities may face when running plant equipment
at turndown, and what steps can be taken to avoid
potential problems. This video interview is a followup
to Narang's recent Chemical Engineering Online
Exclusive article on the same topic.
