The culture of innovation at Endress+Hauser goes far beyond research and development.
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.
How much oil is in the storage tank? In international trade, only calibrated measuring devices can deliver an acceptable answer. Calibration can be done laboriously on site or directly at the factory, as Endress+Hauser does. And this is all thanks to a unique calibration rig.
Procurement offers great leverage towards achieving climate neutrality. That’s because with high production volumes – of instrument housings, for example – even small material savings can make a difference.
Not everywhere in the world has access to a power grid when there is a need to measure how much water is flowing through a pipeline. For such situations Endress+Hauser has developed the battery-powered Promag W 800 flowmeter, for autonomous operation even at inaccessible locations.
Green hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize entire industries. But as a fuel for the new zero-emissions energy era, it would need producing in huge amounts, a feat that requires enormous effort. Companies and researchers are working together to bring industry closer to the goal of CO2 neutrality.
Electromobility is an indispensable building block of the energy transition. So it’s no surprise that the lithium-ion battery market is booming. But with this come myriad challenges all along the value chain.
The industry manager for oil, gas and chemicals in the Netherlands is an expert in the capture, utilization and storage of carbon dioxide.
