CHEMICALS
Overview
- Homogenization: Ensuring chemical components are thoroughly mixed to create a homogeneous mixture, so the final product has consistent quality and performance
- Reaction: Ensuring chemicals are evenly distributed when initiating a reaction, which is critical for those that require precise reaction rates and conditions
- Dissolving: Dissolving solids or liquids into a solvent, which is important for insoluble chemicals or solvents that require special mixing equipment to dissolve properly
- Heat Transfer: Transferring heat energy into or out of the mixture, which is important for exothermic or endothermic reactions that require precise temperature control to proceed effectively
- Mass Transfer: Facilitating mass transfer, such as during distillation, to ensure the components of the mixture are evenly distributed
Product Applications
- Industrial Chemicals: Used in manufacturing (electronics, textiles, paper production) and construction (cement, concrete, insulation); other examples include solvents, lubricants, and surfactants
- Agrochemicals: Protects crops from pests and diseases and promotes crop growth and yield (fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides)
- Household Products: Used in cleaning agents, laundry detergents, and disinfectants (surfactants, enzymes, bleaching agents)
- Petrochemicals: Derives from petroleum and used in the production of plastics, rubber, and other materials
- Pharmaceutical: APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), excipients, and reagents for development of medicines and drugs (antibiotics, painkillers, vaccines)
- Cosmetic: Various products such as shampoos, lotions, makeup, and fragrances (preservatives, emulsifiers, fragrances)
- Food & Beverage: Used in production as preservatives, food coloring, and flavor enhancers
- Energy: Used in various forms of energy production, including oil and gas exploration, nuclear energy, and renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power
- Water Treatment: Purifies and disinfects drinking water
