Rising Environmental Concerns Bring Green Solvents into the Spotlight as Potential Substitutes for Conventional Solvents

Ubiquitous need for solvents in a wide range of industrial processes coupled with the growing popularity of green/bio solvents to address environmental concerns is poised to drive t he global Solvents market to exceed 33.4 million metric tons by 2024 . A solvent is a liquid formulation that is capable of suspending, dissolving or extracting various substances, without influencing any chemical change to the subject material and the end-product. Solvents function on the principle of 'like dissolves like' and are used for separating, cleaning and processing of materials. Solvents are primarily used for forming a solution by dissolving the solute and bring out properties of some substances. These solutions are selected or applied on the basis of numerous factors including safety and health and environmental effects, along with inherent features such as dissolving strength, evaporation and viscosity rates, flammability, and toxicity. To suffice various end-use level requirement

Essential Role of Micro-CHPs in Smart Energy Strategies Drives Global Demand for Cogeneration Equipment

Increasing adoption of microCHP systems, spiraling electricity prices, manufacturer focus on technically advanced equipment, favorable policy scenario, and growing need for flexibility are poised to drive the global market for Cogeneration Equipment in terms of revenues from annual equipment installations to exceed US$37 billion by 2024 . Combined heat and power (CHP) systems, which are termed cogeneration equipment, are used to generate heat energy and electricity simultaneously from a single energy source such as oil, coal, natural gas, wood, biomass, or waste heat. CHP systems are capable of operating at higher efficiency levels of 77% to 81% compared to the 46% efficiency levels of conventional systems, while also enabling up to 29% reduction in carbon emissions as compared to traditional systems. Cogeneration systems have combustion turbines, steam turbines integrated with boilers, micro turbines, reciprocating engines and fuel cells as prime movers. In addition to these prime

Rise in Infectious Agents Transmitted Within the Dental Setting Drives Demand for Dental Infection Control Products Market
