🎉Celebrating 50 Years of FLEMION™🎉 AGC’s chemical product, FORBLUE™ FLEMION™ ion-exchange membranes, has reached its 50th anniversary! The chlor-alkali electrolysis process produces caustic soda and chlorine, used across various industrial fields. The mercury-based manufacturing method, once widely employed in this process, was identified as a potential cause of environmental pollution, leading AGC to develop a new ion-exchange membrane cell technology in 1975🌱 With 50 years of trust and experience, FLEMION™ is now used in chlor-alkali electrolysis plants in over 50 countries! 🗺️🏭 In the electricity-intensive chlor-alkali electrolysis process, FLEMION™'s energy efficiency contributes to reduced electricity costs and CO2 emissions during power generation. AGC will continue to support social development and the global environment —Chemistry for a Blue Planet! 🚀🌍 #AGC #YourDreamsOurChallenge #ChemistryForABluePlanet

🎉AGC Inc. marks the 50th anniversary of its pioneering FORBLUE FLEMION™ fluorinated ion-exchange membranes, a technology that has transformed the chlor-alkali industry. Over the past half-century, FLEMION membranes have become the cornerstone of chlor-alkali electrolysis worldwide, enabling industries to: 🔹 Boost energy efficiency 🔹 Reduce operating costs 🔹 Lower environmental impact The latest grade, the F-9060 membrane, cuts cell voltage by up to 120 mV, significantly reducing electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions in this energy-intensive process. Looking ahead, AGC is developing next-generation membranes for even greater performance, while advancing life cycle assessments and closed-loop recycling initiatives to repurpose used membranes into other fluorine-based products. ⬇️ Learn more and download the FLEMION 50th anniversary poster here: https://ow.ly/lhcg50WM8eb. #ChlorAlkali #Electrolysis #IonExchangeMembranes

A reminder about Nanobubble Technology 🫧 In conjunction with Moleaer Inc., we are now providing this technology solution for the Irish and UK wastewater sector. Moleaer aims to unlock the power of nanobubbles with their patented generator technology. We see them as a perfect technology partner for us and this marks a significant step forward in our comprehensive wastewater treatment solution portfolio. Nanobubbles can be deployed in various locations across industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants where they break down surfactants which inhibit the effectiveness of standard treatment processes. Benefits: ⬆️Decreased energy demand in aeration steps ⬆️Increase of FOG release from effluent - a key issue for the industrial treatment market 🫧Plant stability and improved resistance to shock load ⬆️Improved TN reduction ⬇️ Reduced H2S concentrations in air leading to less work for OCU systems and environmental compliance ⬆️Improved sludge density and second stage treatment When these systems are contributing to AD plants, we are seeing: ⬆️Improved gas yield ⬇️Less toxicity If you would like to unlock the power of nanobubble technology, contact Gareth Wilson - gareth@dpswater.com for more details and put our #FluidThinking into work on your site!

Excited to share our new paper: “Enhancing Electrochemical CO2-to-CO Conversion in a Nonaqueous Amine-Based Electrolyte at Elevated Temperature via Pulsed Electrolysis and EDTA”, recently published in #ACSElectrochemistry. In this work, we demonstrated how pulsed electrolysis and EDTA can make CO2 conversion to CO more efficient, selective, and stable in non-aqueous MEA, especially at elevated temperature. This research contributes to advancing the integration of CO2 capture and electrochemical conversion, which is a key step toward sustainable carbon management. Thanks to my co-authors, Alex Grutter, Shilong Fu, Ruud Kortlever, Earl Goetheer, and Wiebren de Jong for making this work possible.
