Today's KNOWLEDGE Share We Cracked the Code: From Forever Waste to Circular Fibres 90% fibre recovery. Safety standards exceeded. CO₂ emissions slashed by ~4 tonnes per tonne recycled. After years of exploring the aramid waste crisis, here's the good news: it doesn't have to be this way. The General Recycled Solution We've developed the world's first Garment-to-Fibre-to-Garment technology that transforms end-of-life aramid protective equipment into high-quality recycled fibres. We take actual retired FR coveralls, worn-out military uniforms, and decommissioned protective garments and give them a second life. We also capture manufacturing cutting scraps, that 10% waste from garment production, creating a comprehensive circular solution. How We Do It Precision separation: Our patented process breaks down complex garment construction into high-quality recoverable fibres Fibre regeneration: Transform recovered aramid garments into new yarns and fabrics using proprietary...

Velocity Composites plc, a leading supplier of advanced #composite material kits to the #aerospace and high-performance manufacturing sectors, has secured a landmark contract renewal and expansion with a long-standing Tier One customer. The newly signed long term agreement extends Velocity’s supply of structural composite material kits for the #AirbusA350 programme, covering the A350-900 and, for the first time, expanding into the A350-1000 variant. The scope also includes additional new material kits across both aircraft types. The contract runs through to 2035 further cementing Velocity’s role as a trusted partner in one of the world’s most significant wide-body aircraft programmes. Based on current Airbus build rate projections, the contract has an estimated potential value of up to $54 million. Revenue is expected to reach approximately $2.5 million in FY2026, with $1.0 million of that representing new business. This new work will replace contracts with other customers that are ...

Safran Landing Systems and Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's newest national airline, have announced today the signing of a long-term agreement for the supply of wheels and advanced electric carbon brakes to equip Riyadh Air’s future fleet of more than 70 Boeing 787-9 aircraft. A key factor in #RiyadhAir’s selection was the weight advantage of Safran Landing Systems’ solutions. This is a significant lever for optimizing aircraft performance in the high-altitude conditions of King Khaled International Airport. Indeed, brakes must absorb more kinetic energy during landings at high altitude because the air is less dense, which increases the landing speed. Additionally, light brakes enable also to reduce fuel consumption and operating costs. As part of this agreement, #SafranLandingSystems will also provide its latest #Boeing787 Electrical Brake Tester, support Riyadh Air’s repair capability development, and train repair engineers, supporting long-term airline performance and the growth of...

Sealed Air Corporation a leading global provider of food and protective packaging solutions, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by funds affiliated with CD&R, a leading private investment firm with deep experience in the industrial and packaging industries, in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of $10.3 billion. Under the terms of the agreement,  #SealedAir  stockholders will receive $42.15 in cash per share.

Keizer, Chairman of the Board of Sealed Air. "Furthermore...

The main challenge is separating the m-xylene isomer from the other isomers (o-xylene and p-xylene) and ethylbenzene due to their similar boiling points. Process Flow Information The overall process involves production of a mixed C8 aromatic stream and subsequent separation: Feedstock & Reaction: The primary feedstock is naphtha, which undergoes catalytic reforming to produce a mixture rich in BTX aromatics. Separation: The C8 aromatic stream (containing ethylbenzene, p-, m-, and o-xylenes) is sent to separation units. Distillation: Initial distillation separates lighter and heavier components. A xylene splitter may be used, with the top stream containing about 40% m-xylene, 20% p-xylene, and 40% ethylbenzene. Specialized Separation: Because the boiling points are close, standard distillation is energy-intensive and often insufficient for high purity. Specialized methods are used for selective separation: Crystallization: This process is often used to first remove para-xylene, whic...
