Petrochemical giant Ineos is halting production at its plants that produce acetic acid, acetic anhydride and ethyl acetate in Hull, blaming the decision on high gas prices in the UK. #ChemSky www.chemistryworld.com/news/ineos-t...

Ineos temporarily closes UK acetyls plants

Owing to high high gas prices, the plants are uncompetitive, despite their high efficiency

What an epic week @photocat26! 💡🇪🇸 A huge thank you to all the lovely photochemists who stopped by to say hello, talk chemistry and learn more about @Asynt’s photoreactors. You made me feel so welcome and part of the event. Can I come back next time? ❤️ 🧪 #Photocat2026

What if the problem isn’t your chemistry, but your mixing? 🧪 @reid__indeed from @kineticolor & @strathclydechemistry joined @asynt_ltd to explore how agitation affects reaction performance & reproducibility. Missed it? Watch here 👇 youtu.be/jO2lfF6b77o #MixingMatters #ProcessOptimisation

Seeing as I’m at #PhotoCat2026, one for the photochemists… 💡🧪 Solstice screens reactions at 365 nm, before taking the optimised chemistry into continuous flow. Batch to optimise. Flow to scale. www.asynt.com/wp-content/u... #Photochemistry #FlowChemistry

8 reactions + 1 photoreactor = happy chemist 🧪💡 @ucdchemistry put @Asynt’s Illumin8 through its paces: parallel screening, reproducibility & temperature control to 0 °C with @JULABO_GmbH What matters most in a photoreactor? 🤔 www.asynt.com/wp-content/u... #photochemistry

Dr Kerry Elgie @kerryasynt.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

What difference can a few nanometres make? In #photochemistry, potentially a lot. 💡🌈 Wavelength can influence reaction rate and pathways. @Asynt’s Solstice screens 12 reactions in parallel, from 365–525 nm. See us at #Photocat2026 🇪🇸 www.asynt.com/products/pho... #photoreactors

Dr Kerry Elgie @kerryasynt.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Today, it’s temperature’s turn. 🌡️ Pair @Asynt’s fReactor temperature control base with a @JULABO_GmbH circulator for excellent, reproducible #temperaturecontrol. If you’re having a “degree” of difficulty with your chemistry, switch to fReactor. #CSTR #FlowChemistry

Dr Kerry Elgie @kerryasynt.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Yesterday, I teased what might be next for the fReactor… 👀 Today, one that thrives under pressure. 50 bar, to be precise. Recently installed by @Asynt @ChemistryCU, this Hastelloy fReactor is ready for high pressure #catalysis. Raising the bar. Quite literally. #FlowChemistry
