The (petro-)chemical industry is in the midst of a monumental transformation. Crude oil with its reliable fingerprint is slowly being replaced by alternative feedstocks of oftentimes unpredictable and challenging nature. In this online townhall discussion hosted by Analytik Jena, community members will share which challenges and opportunities they have encountered on their personal journey towards a more sustainable tomorrow.
Discover which elements are most problematic in waste plastic pyrolysis oil via a first-hand account from Dr. Marco Tomasi Morgano of ARCUS Greencycling Technologies. Learn how the physical state of animal fat feedstock changes depending on the season with Janine Hernandez of Seaboard Energy. Hear from two seasoned analytical chemistry professionals why no one sample preparation approach works for all waste plastic and biomass derived products. Both Randy Rarig Ph.D. from Ketjen and Jean-François Borny from Lummus Technology face the unpredictability of alternative feedstocks every day with Jean-François even using his expertise to put forth new ASTM standards.
