SGL Carbon

As we reflect on the crucial resources that power our global industrial processes, one element remains indispensable — water. At SGL Carbon, we recognize that water is more than just a basic need; it's the backbone of our and our clients’ industries worldwide.   Water plays a pivotal role in various stages of manufacturing, from cooling and heating to processing and cleaning. It's an essential solvent and a medium in which numerous chemical reactions occur, pivotal for producing everything from textiles to tech components. Additionally, water is integral to many supply chains, as crucial raw materials as well as finished products are often transported by rivers that may not be usable in times of drought.   Yet, water's importance goes beyond mere utility. It's a finite resource facing significant challenges such as scarcity, pollution, and increasing demand across sectors. These challenges pose risks not only to the environment but also to the operational stability and cost-efficiency of supply chains globally. In recognition of this, we are committed to sustainable water management practices. Our strategies include reducing water use, improving recycling processes, and utilizing cutting-edge technology to treat and reuse water in our operations.   By finding ways of using water in a more efficient way, we not only safeguard our environment but also enhance our resilience against disruptions and ensure compliance with global regulations, creating a competitive advantage.   We urge the entire industry to join us in prioritizing water conservation and efficient management. Together, we can secure a sustainable future for our businesses and the planet.   Would you like to know more?

More than four years ago, one of our customers in Central Europe installed an advanced Ecosyn HCl Synthesis unit with steam generation – and it’s been going without major issues since! Every operating hour saves money: Industrial Heat Recovery at its best.   The facts: More than 0.9 kg steam at >12barg is produced for every 1 kg of processed chlorine – a record recovery rate and about 50% more than other solutions.   With our largest Ecosyn HCl Synthesis, our customers are even able to produce beside main product HCl up to 28,000 tons/year steam and save additional 200m³/h cooling water, effectively up to 20 GWh energy recovery every year!   Would you like to know more about our synthesis units with steam generation?

Excellence, delivered: When it comes to corrosive, high-temperature chemical processes, only impregnated graphite achieves the safety and reliability required.   That’s why we are glad to announce that our business unit Process Technology recently delivered two large graphite centrifugal motor-pump groups for a customer in India.   These critical pumps are used in a process producing Epichlorohydrin (ECH) from green Glycerin and handling corrosive media at temperatures of up to 160°C.   Manufactured in France, they handle volumes from 550 to 910 cubic meters per hour, with a pressure increase of around 3 bars.   Our customers in the chemical industry value our excellence – not just in the quality of our products, but also the reactivity of our team and our ability to deliver on time. That’s why we are currently working on a package of similar pumps, to be delivered in Southeast Asia by the end of the year 2024. This will be the fifth project realized by our process technology experts for this type of process in 3 years!   Would you like to know more?

90 years of Dr. Schnabel GmbH! On June 8, we celebrated the 90th anniversary of our Limburg site. A large part of the workforce and their families came together at the site to celebrate this remarkable milestone with former colleagues, neighbors and guests from politics and business. The roots of Dr. Schnabel GmbH go back to 1934, when it was founded by Dr. Ernst Schnabel in Berlin. In 1945, the company moved to Limburg and with it the business with PTFE-lined pipes. In 1950, Dr. Schnabel GmbH was the first European manufacturer of paste-extruded PTFE linings. In 2007, the company was taken over by SGL Carbon and integrated into the Process Technology business unit. Over the years, the site has been continuously developed to meet the growing demand for PTFE-lined pipes. Congratulations to our team in Limburg! #SGLCarbon #team #anniversary #industry
