We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Chemical Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Weighing requirements for the chemical industry from
Applied Weighing International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Although process weighing for the chemical industry has come along way, the fundamental elements remain the same, says Rod Morgan, Sales Director at Applied Weighing".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Rotary vane pumps handle explosive environments from
Edwards: "Edwards EM ATEX-compliant rotary vane pumps allow operators in the chemical industry to comply with the European ATEX Directive".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Smithers Rapra
- take a look at Reach conferences scheduled for Antwerp
which says: "Smithers Rapra's Reach conferences are designed to inform companies of the current status of the legislation and how to become compliant in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible".
Take a look also at the news release from Madico Graphic Films, Polyester film offers durable printing,
as well as Modelling systems win award from Process Systems Enterprise,
and Compliance management system adds REACH from TechniData.
