What’s the true essence of what DSM brings to this market? Our bright science is helping to improve peoples’ lives and preserve the planet - every day. Read on to find out how.
Answering the 64 meter question
Today’s wind turbines are amazing structures. The blades alone measure 64 meters – and our composite resins are now being used to make these blades based on DSM’s world-leading expertise in polymer technology.
Squeezing out the last drop
The price of oil continues its inexorable rise. Meaning oil producers need to squeeze the last drop from every source. Enhanced oil recovery involves using polymer flooding as a means of maximizing oil output by injecting a viscous solution of polyacrylamide in water for displacement of oil from the pores of oil-containing rock.
DSM’s acrylonitrile is key to the production of the acrylamide and polyacrylamide so vital to the process.
Heat, light, power – all from waste
Biogas derived from anaerobic fermentation of biodegradable materials such as biomass, manure or sewage and green waste can be used to generate electricity and heat.
Driven by climate change and alternative energy initiatives, the market for production and optimization of biogas-related processes will become significant in the coming years. With more than 100 years’ experience in biotechnology, DSM is at the forefront of the drive to optimize biogas plants. More>
Coal power - still a reality
Imagine a pipe that’s wider than a subway carriage. These are the pipes used to carry the off gases produced in coal-fired power stations.
Not surprisingly, these off gases contain highly noxious and corrosive materials – which is why the pipes in question need to be resistant to these and durable…which in turn is why the energy industry is increasingly turning to DSM’s Atlac E-nova composite resins to make them.
Tough, durable and corrosion-resistant, Atlac E-nova is helping to reduce pipe maintenance and provide greater reliability, which is particularly good news for countries like India and China still heavily reliant on coal-fired power stations. More>
