Cooperation on biodegradable polymer certification

Article Abstract:

DIN CERTCO, a Berlin, Germany-based group, has entered into an agreement with New York-based International Biodegradable Plastics Institute. Under the agreement, the two groups will develop comparable policies and procedures for the certification of biodegradable and compostable plastic products. The development will hopefully facilitate the application for and acquisition of recognized certifications for suppliers of biodegradable plastics.

Membranes enhance lube dewaxing

Article Abstract:

Mobil Oil Corp and WR Grace and Co are among the recipients of the 1999 Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement Award. The two companies are recognized for their joint development of an innovative membrane- separation technology designed to ease lubricant dewaxing. Labeled Max- Dewax, the membrane-based process allows the separation of the solvent from the mixture even before distillation.
