Semodia, Pipe Predict and Lumatix Biotech – these are the winners of the ACHEMA Start-up Award. They convinced with their solutions for “Plug and Produce” in modular plants, Predictive Maintenance in pipelines and for the insulation of antibodies. The winners will each receive 10,000 euros.

At ACHEMA 2022, the world’s leading trade show for the process industry, over 2,200 exhibitors from more than 50 countries showcased the latest equipment and innovative processes for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries at the Frankfurt fairgrounds from 22 to 26 August.

A semi-basement room in Leonberg near Stuttgart, a motorcycle as the company vehicle and DM 3,000 as seed capital – this is how the success story of LEWA GmbH began. Founded in 1952 as an engineering office for water treatment, LEWA developed into the worldwide manufacturer of metering and process diaphragm pumps, as well as complete metering systems for process engineering within a few decades despite the difficult initial conditions.

In addition to the transformation towards a climate-neutral chemical industry and the perennial topic of digitalisation, the current global political situation also poses massive challenges for the process industry.

This year, for the first time, ACHEMA will fully integrate the congress into the exhibition programme. All congress sessions will take place either on stages directly in the exhibition halls or in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition groups.

ACHEMA 2022 – the World Forum for the Process Industries – will be held at the Frankfurt Fairground from 22 to 26 August 2022, instead of 4 to 8 April 2022 as originally planned. This decision was made in view of the increasing uncertainty caused by the new Corona variant after intensive discussions with the community and in the ACHEMA Committee.

After ACHEMA Pulse 2021 – the pioneering digital event for the process industry – ACHEMA 2022 is back in Frankfurt: from 4 to 8 April 2022, the Frankfurt Fairground will once again be the meeting place for the global process industries. In times of a pandemic, a comprehensive hygiene concept ensures that personal exchange and networking are once again possible in safety on site.

After one month, ACHEMA Pulse came to an end on June 30, 2021. 960 exhibitors from 38 countries used the interactive platform to connect with a total of 15,000 attendees. A special highlight were the Live Days with almost 1,000 presentations. The organizers drew a positive conclusion of the event.

With the Live Days on June 15 and 16, ACHEMA Pulse not only celebrated its half-time, it also offered the global process industry a qualitatively unique program that covered all topics of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

ACHEMA 2021 will be postponed to April 4-8, 2022. From June 15-16, 2021, ACHEMA Pulse will offer the worldwide ACHEMA community the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and make new contacts with highlight sessions, top-class discussions and lectures as well as interactive formats.
