Summary:
Tighter regulations, mounting public pressure and shifts in the economy have all put pressure on industries to explore green technologies.But after decades of pursuing the "low-hanging-fruit," many industries are facing tough engineering problems.However, innovative solutions need not be large futuristic, or expensive: Watlow's own technologies prove that smaller "partner" technologies can often help solve very specific problems that, together, bar the way to more progress. Here we review five such technologies, showcasing how they are helping to reduce power needs, electrify key processes, reduce emissions, clean hazardous waste and support renewable power.
