The culture of innovation at Endress+Hauser goes far beyond research and development.
Covestro has made circular economy a guiding principle – and is showing the way forward in the plastics industry by fully committing to it. A look at the latest developments from Leverkusen, Germany.
Endress+Hauser has adapted Coriolis technology to be viable in single-use applications. The newly developed Proline Promass U 500 measures flow rates with precision and efficiency to match – as well as being ideally built for subsequent recycling.
Beginnings are always hard – and so it is with the circular economy. Michael Sinz, director of strategic business, explains how it can become a reality for the process industry and how Endress+Hauser is making headway with its implementation.
It’s time to rethink our linear economic model: the consequences of all that taking, making and wasting are getting harder and harder to ignore. But as yet we seem to lack that initial impetus, that spark, needed to set the circular economy in motion.
Numerous actions taken by Hofbräu München have already resulted in a 70 percent reduction in CO₂ emissions per hectoliter of beer brewed. Now the plan is to realize even more reduction potential with the help of a solution from Endress+Hauser: the most advanced energy monitoring system installed at any brewery worldwide.
Although gas-fired power plants are considered a bridge technology in the energy transition, they still have to be efficient, flexible and cost-effective. The plants operated by German regional energy provider KMW achieve this with innovative ideas, intelligent systems and advanced technology.
Cyberattacks targeting industrial plants can have grave consequences. And yet, many security concepts are either too complicated or too vulnerable. Cryptography experts at Endress+Hauser have developed the CPace standard, which uses simple passwords to provide a level of protection approaching that of certificate-based systems.
Together with Germany’s largest wastewater treatment operator, Endress+Hauser is developing a process for direct, on-site detection of the novel coronavirus in wastewater, thus offering a better way to monitor local infection activity.
