Here's how to protect against gas hydrate formation during the winter
Associated gas and natural gas liquids are valuable commodities, so to realize profits special care is required during winter months.
Sensata introduces new solid state relays for large industrial equipment
The new SSRs are UL, VDE and CE certified for worldwide use in pump controls, HVAC&R, industrial ovens, plastic injection molding, food processing equipment and packaging equipment.
'Artificial leaf' sustainably produces syngas
Inspired by photosynthesis, researchers are using sunlight, rather than fossil fuels, to produce syngas.
Parker Hannifin introduces new silicone hoses for thermal management in extreme environments
Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has introduced a new silicone hose series for use in thermal management applications.
Pros and cons of battery and water-powered backup sump pumps
Flooding due to power outage or sump pump failure is preventable with a backup sump pump. What are the pros and cons of battery and water-powered backup pumps?
Recycling nuclear fuel with 3D-printed parts
About 95% of the actinide elements in spent nuclear fuel can be recycled, leaving only 5% to be stored as long-term waste. A process for tapping this remaining percentage and further closing the nuclear fuel cycle has been devised by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and demonstrated with the aid of additive manufacturing technology.
Emerging technologies show promise for monitoring oil and gas infrastructure
Conventional corrosion sensors identify deterioration, but in order to detect early corrosion onset and establish an effective corrosion mitigation management plan, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) suggests that emerging technology may be required.
Tapflo launches the new range of filter press pumps
The pumps transfer large quantities of liquid into the empty press and small quantities at high pressure when the filter press is filled.
Pentair releases new commercial pumps with enhanced efficiencies
The pumps feature high working pressure thresholds and energy efficiencies for HVAC applications.
How does a pressure-compensated flow control valve work?
Pressure-compensated flow control valves are designed to provide a constant volume flow rate independent of the pressure drop across the valve.
Conversion of liquid oils into nutritional solid fats
A Barcelona-based startup, Cubiq Foods, is developing cultivated fats, a nutritional alternative to other solid fats used in baked goods, dairy and plant-based burgers.
Addressing treatment challenges for industrial water effluent
More than ever before, water is considered a key factor of production. And as such, it needs to be monitored, controlled and in many instances conserved.
Saving money, improving efficiency with direct steam injection
Several advantages are realized by the DSI approach; chief among them is cost savings
Rexnord introduces dual detectable material to help food processors mitigate contamination risks
The new material for select KleanTop® and TableTop® conveyor belts can be detected in both metal and x-ray machines.
Water treatment selectively removes nitrates
The remedial process relies on the use of ultramicroporous carbon as a capacitive deionization electrode for selectively removing nitrate from an anion mixture.
Chemical plant fire and explosion due to equipment fault
Witnesses reported an explosion shortly after the fire broke out, and several fire departments were called into battle the blaze, which was fueled by chemical inventory.
First concentrated lithium carbonate produced from 3Q lithium reservoir
Neo Lithium Corporation sourced concentrated brine from their Tres Quebradas lithium project to produce high purity lithium carbonate, 99.1% Li2CO3, at their fully operational pilot plant in Fiambalá.
Serbian pump manufacturer to treat and reuse its own wastewater
The Biobooster facility will treat all domestic wastewater, which accounts for 60-70% of the factory’s wastewater.
New device improves consistency in powder flow
A Bluetooth-controlled device placed inside the processing bin directly transfers vibration energy to the powder and monitors temperature, humidity and pressure to gauge product quality.
New solenoid pumps and stepper motor pumps for chemical applications
Ideal solutions for precise, reproducible dosing of chemicals.
