how our products and solutions can help our customers improve their process and quality. Our experienced engineers work closely with businesses to solve complex manufacturing challenges for seamless and welded operations, and we regularly assist customers with not only their current application needs, but we also help identify opportunities for improvement within their operations.” During Tube 2022 Trade fair, Quaker Houghton experts will be on hand to explain how they work closely with businesses manufacturing challenges for seamless and welded operations. Quaker Houghton’s “Front-to-Back” approach includes not only a range of process fluids for the front end of pipe manufacturing, but also corrosion preventives and protective coatings to finish at the back end, coupled with ThecompanynowusesSiCtechnology, which increases the efficiency of the welding process, reducing electricity consumption. According to Emmedi, these parameters have been measured on site by many customers who claimed energy savings of at least 30 per cent (in case of valve equipment replacement). The MosWeld SiC family offers benefits by using silicon carbide and an architecture designed to maximise energy efficiency and line availability. In 2021, tube producers Tata Steel entrusted its manufacturing to Emmedi because of the robustness and reliability of the SiC technology; throughout the past year this trend has been confirmed by other customers who have remained

loyal to the brand by investing again in the MosWeld SiC family. Another major challenge today is the local commissioning and maintenance of the equipment, as travel remain difficult to some regions. Emmedi has, therefore, developed new welding features to make it easier for customers to use SIC equipment without prior experience and to improve remote connectivity. During Tube Düsseldorf (stand 6 C14) Emmedi will present case studies of customers who have benefited from energy savings and other strategic features.
