For the Petrochemical Industry

The petrochemical industry is becoming increasingly aggressive in its efforts to develop and promote alternative forms of energy.

On a day-to-day level, the industry is also looking to diminish its carbon footprint in other ways, particularly by reducing the environmental impact of its operations. Eaton is helping that effort in several ways, including the development of medium-voltage switchgear made without sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a compound with 24,000 times the global warming potential of common CO2. Eaton also is a leader in the development of wireless monitoring and process control equipment, which not only eliminates the need for copper and steel for wiring and conduit, but also promotes greater worker safety by keeping plant personnel safely removed from potential arc flash hazards and potentially dangerous heavy equipment.
