U.S. needs resilient PNT systems, NextNav CEO Sorond says in Forbes

Yahoo13-06-2025
Mariam Sorond, the Board Chair and CEO of NextNav (NN), said in a post on Forbes that a common theme appeared at this year's Mobile World Congress: GPS 'wasn't working the way we've come to expect.' Recently, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr took a meaningful step by issuing a Notice of Inquiry that highlights GPS vulnerabilities and calls for stakeholder engagement to develop new positioning, navigation and timing solutions, Sorond said, adding that the NOI signals the FCC's recognition that GPS limitations 'are a national priority' and that it is now up to industry leaders to scale solutions that can strengthen national infrastructure, protect critical systems and unlock the next generation of connected technologies.

Ketjen Introduces New Breakthrough Catalyst Technology that Effectively Mitigates the Effects of Iron Poisoning in FCC Units

Commercial trial demonstrates SaFeGuard's™ effectiveness in processing opportunity crudes HOUSTON, August 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ketjen Corporation, a leader in catalyst and specialty chemicals manufacturing has launched SaFeGuard™, a new catalyst technology designed to address iron (Fe) poisoning in FCC units. In a recent 30-day full commercial trial, SaFeGuard™ demonstrated a 77% improvement in accessibility with a 50% inventory replacement enabling an increase in unit activity, improved bottoms cracking, and ability to process heavy iron-rich feedstocks. Further testing and predictive modeling suggest that a full 100% inventory changeout could yield up to a 130% increase in accessibility delivering additional improvement in performance. SaFeGuard™ delivers a step change in the contaminant Fe and calcium (Ca) tolerance window by minimizing the Eutectic formation, thereby keeping catalyst pores open. This enables higher activity levels and furthers bottoms cracking, ultimately uplifting profit margins. "We've developed a powerful, safe and sustainable solution that addresses iron poisoning and will increase profitability for our customers by allowing for lower-cost feeds and more efficient operations," said Ketjen's Chief Commercial Officer Henri Tausch. "This new technology is the culmination of decades of research aimed at developing industry leading iron and calcium tolerant catalysis and illustrates our commitment to developing innovative solutions that support the evolving needs of our customers." "SaFeGuard™ is a great option for refiners who are taking advantage of opportunity crudes and even bio feeds because it is just as effective in combating additional contaminants including nickel, vanadium, calcium, sodium, and silicon," said David Leach, Vice President and General Manager, FCC at Ketjen. "It can be used to process iron-rich feedstocks including heavy, resid, tight oil and renewable feeds, and it's also great for units facing accessibility limitations because it requires less frequent catalyst replacement." Ketjen's next generation SaFeGuard™ technology is currently available for use by refiners around the globe. Contact us to learn more about how you can unlock the full potential of your FCC unit. About Ketjen Ketjen is a provider of advanced catalyst solutions to leading producers in the petrochemical, refining and specialty chemicals industries. From fluidized catalytic cracking to clean fuels solutions to hydro-processing to organometallics and curatives, Ketjen delivers safe and reliable solutions that increase production performance and business value.
