The reduction of sulfur in the manufacture of gasoline and diesel generates large amounts of greenhouse gases, so specialists from the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in Mexico created an innovative catalytic material that removes this element, and its production requires only one day, representing an advantage in time and cost. The material consists of a…
New Material Substantially Reduces Nitrogen from Diesel
The Mexican Oil Institute (IMP) developed a catalyst adsorbent material that removes 80 percent of organic compounds from hydrocarbon charges before starting the process of hydrodesulfurization (removing sulfur from the hydrocarbon). It also allows Pemex to generate ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) more quickly and cheaply. Its use in a preliminary process will increase the…
Without Excavation, Entrepreneurs Solve Leakage in City Pipelines
Tubepol is a company founded in 2012 by two graduates of the National University of Mexico (UNAM). Engineers, chemist Adrian Cordero Ibarra and civil Jorge Pérez Gavilán Paz created a comprehensive technology to renew piping without the need of excavation, ensuring it lasts 50 years — 25 more than a traditional one. With their method…
Researcher Develops Electrical Insulation for Extreme Conditions
With more than 260 scientific publications on new materials oriented to the engineering sector and particularly towards the aerospace branch, Juan Martínez Vega is one of the highlights in the area of applied physics of Mexican researchers. Such recognition, however, has taken place in France, where he has lived for the last 30 years. In…
