Lisbon, September 20, 2022. Innventik was honored to speak at the Annual General Meeting 2022 of the International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers (IISRP). Dr. Walter Ramirez presented the conference “Sustainability in the Operating Plant through Advanced Process Technology”.
SUMMARY.
Companies and countries are to become climate neutral by 2050. In line with this target, the industry must work on process improvement and innovative designs for sustainability. The industry will face a gradual increase of more rigid emissions-reductions requirements as more customers pursue net-zero strategies and demand for Zero-Carbon Materials-Services. This will enable the acceleration of the adoption of existing and new process technologies to make our industry greener. Companies are increasingly open to implementing new process technologies and sustainable practices to reduce costs, minimize community impacts, and secure their social license to operate. During the conference, Innventik presented a summary of the most updated process technologies for Solution and Emulsion Polymerization (including Raw Materials Purification, Reactor Design, Stripping, Coagulation, Direct Devolatilization, Latex Stripping, Facility Lifetime, and Corrosion Monitoring). At Innventik, we see an opportunity to revamp current processes to provide more flexibility and cost-effectiveness, to implement the best operative practices, and comply with regulatory challenges. The time has come to take traditional Processes and Operations to the next level.
