July 15 2011Mersen partners with other major actors of the electric motors and drives business to write an article contradicting certain generally accepted ideas about the directcurrent motors and the alternating-current motors.
-
May 25 2011In the previous issue of Mersen Focus we talked about the challenges of seawater desalination and the main technologies used. This market holds valuable opportunity for Mersen, which offers a full range of equipment covering the key stages in the...Read more
-
May 25 2011Meeting demand for water will be a crucial challenge over the next few years, since 44% of the world’s population has to contend with chronic shortages of potable water.Read more
-
May 08 2010The efficiency of energy systems is now a major priority for sustainable development. It requires both an improvement in the performance of individual components and the optimization of complete systems. Coolers make a major contribution to this.Read more
-
May 07 2010Electrical protection systems must be able to shut off the current very rapidly in order to protect equipment against short circuits. This is one, but not the only reason why fuses rank well ahead of competing electrical protection devices. We...Read more
-
May 06 2010After describing how a wind turbine works in its last edition, Focus Mersen will now present the range of solutions marketed by the Group to wind energy industry players, including wind turbine or generator manufacturers or wind farm operators.Read more
-
May 05 2010Thanks to its environmental benefits and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the use of wind energy is becoming more and more widespread. Having increased from 39,000 MW in 2003 to over 120,000 MW in 2008, worldwide installed capacity is set to...Read more
-
May 04 2010The previous edition of CL Magazine presented the opportunities for the Group in the phosphoric acid market, which is characterized by extremely exacting production conditions. This fourth edition considers more specifically the graphite- and noble...Read more
-
May 03 2010Owing to the growth in global farm output in emerging markets, the strong growth currently being recorded by the phosphoric acid market is excellent news for the Group. We explain why in the following article.Read more
-
May 02 2010Silicon is the key material used in photovoltaic cells. Silicon purifica- tion, a crucial stage in the solar panel production process, requires large amounts of ultrapure graphite.Read more
-
May 01 2010With global warming, pollution and fossil fuels becoming scarcer, solar energy, the most renewable of sources, is poised for strong expansion. We explain why in the following article. Thermal solar panels and photovoltaic cells: two different ways...Read more
