RUDOLF gewinnt Responsible-Care-Bundeswettbewerb 2023

RUDOLF wurde für seine Leistungen im Bereich Nachhaltigkeit und Umweltschutz mit dem Mittelstandspreis beim Responsible Care Bundeswettbewerb 2023 ausgezeichnet, der unter dem Motto „Unser nachhaltiger und sparsamer Umgang mit Energie“ stand. RUDOLF investiert an ihrem Hauptsitz in eine neue Kälteanlage zur Bereitstellung von Kühlwasser.

Die Preisverleihung fand im Rahmen eines Wettbewerbs des Verbandes der Chemischen Industrie (VCI) statt. Responsible Care ist eine freiwillige Initiative der chemischen Industrie, die von Chemieunternehmen und Verbände in über 50 Ländern unterstützt wird. Das Ziel sind kontinuierliche Verbesserungen in den Bereichen Umweltschutz, Gesundheit und Sicherheit. Das prämierte Projekt von RUDOLF überzeugte die Jury durch seine zukunftsweisende Technologie, die mit 99,9 % Energieeinsparung eine nahezu emmissionsfreie Kühlung ermöglicht. „Das Projekt macht oberflächennahe Geothermie für die industrielle Kälteversorgung nutzbar – nach dem Motto „Efficiency First“ wurde der effizienteste Weg eingeschlagen,“ so das Jurystatement

Das System des Herstellers TerraCool nutzt die oberflächennahe Geothermie als die ursprünglichste Form der Kühlung. Dabei wird die konstante Temperatur von etwa 10°C in einer Tiefe von circa 10 Metern unter der Erde genutzt. Ein speziell entwickeltes Wärmetauschersystem nutzt diesen natürlichen Kühleffekt. Damit werden künftig chemische Produktionsprozesse bei RUDOLF gekühlt. Der entscheidende Vorteil liegt in ihrer CO2-neutralen Funktionsweise. Durch die Nutzung natürlicher Ressourcen reduziert das System den CO2-Ausstoß im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Kühlsystemen um bis zu 99,9 %. Mit lediglich 1 kW elektrischer Energie erzeugt das System bis zu 600 kW Kühlleistung, dank des Einsatzes eines hochenergieeffizienten Umwälzpumpensystems. Das System ist in sich doppelt geschlossen und berührt das Grundwasser nicht. Umweltschädliche Kältemittel oder Frostschutzmittel werden nicht benötigt.

Devan launches bio-based softener and quick-dry finish

Devan Chemicals recently added two more products to its range of bio-based textile finishes. One being a softener, the other one a quick-dry finish. Both are derived from vegetable oils and are in line with the company’s latest innovations on bio-based chemistry.

Due to the Covid-pandemic, serving as an accelerator for a worldwide green economy, the textile industry is increasingly seeking more sustainable and products fit-for-circular programs. According to McKinsey & Company, the textile industry will experience innovation surrounding sustainably sourced raw materials and bio-based chemical additives to accommodate increasing consumer demand.

According to McKinsey & Company, the textile industry will experience innovation surrounding sustainably sourced raw materials and bio-based chemical additives to accommodate increasing consumer demand.

Devan launched its first bio-based technology in 2019 and is fully committed to making bio-based versions of their existing textile finishes. ‘We have put ourselves on a mission to be able to extend our Bio-Based range further”, says Sven Ghyselinck, CEO of Devan. “We wanted to make an even bigger impact on circularity than before, therefore we looked into what fabric producers use a lot: softeners and moisture management systems. Only by focusing more on the large volume products, can we support the industry to have a bigger impact on sustainability. After the growing success of our natural antimicrobial BI-OME NTL, we are proud to now introduce our new natural Passerelle line”.

Passerelle Soft NTL is a durable softness technology based on vegetable ingredients. The technology is wash durable and can be used with natural fibres like hemp, cotton, but is also fit for synthetic fibres like rPES, PA. The bio content of the technology is above 85% (ASTM D6866-20).

Passerelle Quick-Dry NTL is a moisture management technology also based on vegetable ingredients. This bio-based finish enables high wicking and evaporation capability which helps to evaporate water/sweat easier and faster. The technology is also > 60% (28 days) biodegradable according to OECD 301B.
