European Carbon Black Summit 2023
Conference in Frankfurt Germany on sustainable innovation in the carbon black production and distribution sector.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – December 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Klean Industries Inc. (“Klean”), a leading tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer that designs and builds pyrolysis projects for processing hydrocarbon-based waste such as scrap tires and converts them into high-grade recovered carbon black, is pleased to announce that its CEO, Mr. Jesse Klinkhamer, will be a featured speaker at the European Carbon Black Summit for the second time on June 14 and 15, 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany.

With the ever-pressing questions of feedstock availability, sustainability & recycling, and fluctuation of feedstock prices, which the European carbon black industry is facing in the near future, the industry will need to adapt to these new objectives, developments and work together as a whole to ensure a smooth and thriving transition. ACI’s The European Carbon Black Summit will bring together key industry stakeholders to discuss current challenges and future opportunities within the carbon black industry. 

European Carbon Black Summit will provide another unique forum for chemical companies, carbon black manufacturers, carbon black users, plastic & rubber manufacturers, masterbatch processors, and tire manufacturers to hear from the pyrolysis industry veterans, experts, and innovators who will share their perspectives of the rapidly growing Recovered Carbon Black market. Several industry leaders from around the world will share their expertise, case studies, projects, and the latest developments.

Building on the success of the last edition of the summit we are delighted to be back with ACI’s 3rd European Carbon Black Summit that will take place on 14th on 15th June 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Virgin Carbon Black (“vCB”) demand is forecasted to increase and addressing this increase will be very challenging as the war in Ukraine has already caused a big gap in the supply of virgin carbon black. Some of the experts from this field say that shortage of supply of CB goes up to 40% compared to the years before the war. The main focus of this summit will be to address these issues. With key topics such as CB market overview, improving sustainability in the industry, achieving superiority in the supply chain, and others we will try to give answers to these pressing issues. The focus will be also on improving standardization in recovered carbon black (“rCB”) as well as problems with calculating the life cycle of tires.

As is evident, the European CB industry is facing big challenges in the virgin and recovered carbon black industry. A big amount of energy and time will be used in adaptation to the new situation which will be key for the industry to continue to progress, as well as meeting the demands of the end users.

This two-day event will bring together the senior representatives of the different stakeholders involved in the sector from producers, technology developers, rubber producers, chemical suppliers, researchers, as well as other influential stakeholders from the value chain.

Key Topics:

• Overview of the carbon black market
• Impact of the Ukrainian war on the carbon black market
• Addressing the supply chain disruption
• Improving the capacity of production of rCB
• Solutions to combat these shortages in the future
• REACH 2022
• Policy Frameworks and Safety Regulations regarding Carbon Black
• Overview of existing standardization in rCB
• ASTM Committee D36
• Future standardization and its implementation to rCB processes

TORONTO – December 12, 2022 …

Airspace monitoring innovator designed drone defense system to detect all unmanned aircraft, whether they follow or evade remote identification requirement.

Concept: Drone not broadcasting Remote ID identified by Airspace Monitoring Service (AMS), Remote ID broadcast verified by AMS.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – December 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Federal Aviation Administration regulations will begin to require all unmanned aircraft to transmit identification and location information. Hidden Level’s Airspace Monitoring Service (AMS) technology is uniquely positioned to track, monitor, and validate drones whether or not they comply with the new FAA rules. 

The regulations are in response to the explosive growth of unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, since 2013. The FAA reported over 865,000 registered drones in May 2022 and estimates that number will grow to 1.4 million by 2024. 

To prevent collisions with passenger airplanes and other aircraft, the FAA is mandating all drones operating in U.S. airspace have Remote Identification (RID) capability. Remote ID provides agencies like the FAA, law enforcement, and other federal agencies a greater situational awareness to be able to identify when a drone appears to be flying in an unsafe manner or where it is not allowed to fly. Remote ID also lays the foundation of the safety and security groundwork needed for more complex drone operations. The regulations require all drones made or sold in the United States after December 2022 to support RID, and that all drone pilots (including those who fly for fun, business, or public safety) must register and operate their drone in accordance with the final rule on remote ID, beginning Sept. 16, 2023.

Hidden Level’s drone monitoring technology was designed to keep up with the rapid technological advancements to drones such as Remote Identification. In 2019, the company released a white paper identifying potential gaps in RID and published a technology blog identifying additional factors that should be addressed with a comprehensive RID solution.

“When it comes to integrating the FAA’s broadcast Remote Identification in drone tracking systems, Hidden Level is way ahead of the game,” said Jeff Cole, CEO and co-founder of Hidden Level. “Our AMS not only receives RID signaling in its coverage area but also verifies it, addressing two significant gaps in the RID system.”

Those gaps appear when a drone intentionally or unintentionally fails to broadcast RID information, or if it intentionally or unintentionally broadcasts false RID information.

Hidden Level’s AMS technology uses a local network of passive RF sensors installed on buildings, rooftops and cell towers, which detects the movements of drone aircraft in the area. That allows it to track drones even without a RID broadcast, resolving the first gap.

The Hidden Level AMS also checks and validates RID signals by correlating fine angle estimates from its sensors on the received RID broadcast messages with the drone position information included in the messages. 

“That allows Hidden Level’s AMS to detect any drones failing to broadcast RID data or transmitting false information, and report it almost instantaneously,” Cole said. “That capability is essential to any organization, whether it’s a city, a stadium or a company facility, that is trying to ensure safety and security.” 

The Hidden Level AMS is a cloud-based scalable solution that utilizes a local network of passive RF drone detection sensors, much like a cellular network, that is owned, operated, and maintained by Hidden Level. The sensors, installed on buildings, rooftops and cell towers, provide real-time location data on drone aircraft. Clients receive streaming AMS data that integrates into a variety of common security platforms.
