Five Important Considerations When Selecting a Heavy Industrial Fan
There are multiple basic considerations when selecting a custom, engineered-to-order (ETO), heavy industrial fan.
Watch: Dubai Plans World's Largest Waste-to-energy Plant
The facility, expected to be operational in 2020, will process 1.82-million tons of solid waste annually.
Sixty Years Ago, America’s First Satellite Reached Orbit
Explorer-I discovered the Van Allen radiation belts surrounding Earth and established America’s position as a major player in space.
Process Heating – 2018 Predictions
The industrial sector accounts for an alarming portion of global total final energy consumption (TFEC). In the U.S. alone it accounted for approximately 24 quads (quadrillion Btu), or about one-third of the total U.S. energy consumption in 2016 with bulk chemical production, refining and mining dominating the consumption curve. These industries have been able to reduce their dependency on petroleum and coal, as well as significantly reduce their total energy consumption since peaking in 1997 at approximately 35 quads in large part due to efficiency gains.
Turning to an Unlikely Source for Astronaut Nutrition: Human Waste
Drawing inspiration from aquariums, researchers focused on deep-space travel have grown food with microbial reactors that break down solid and liquid waste.
Energy-efficient Recycling of Li-ion Battery Cathodes
The process involves hydrothermal treatment of cycled electrode particles followed by short annealing, and can be applied to batteries with different capacity degradation conditions.
Second FuelCell Energy Product Using On-Site Biogas Achieves California Air Resources Board Distributed Generation Certification
SureSource power plant solutions include proprietary biogas treatment technology to provide a comprehensive scheme for conversion of on-site biogas to clean renewable power.
The Need for More Compact Heat Exchangers
These thin-walled units exhibit exceptional heat transfer coefficients. They provide for both size and weight reductions. Some units are designed to have a higher resistance to fouling, while capital equipment costs can be lower when applications require costly corrosion-restraint materials as the bill of materials is substantially lower when compared to traditional shell and tube heat exchangers.
DNV GL Launches Certification Framework and Recommended Practice for Carbon Capture and Storage
A recommended practice from DNV GL certification body provides guidance on reliable design, construction and operation of pipelines for large-scale transportation of carbon dioxide.
Germany to Host World’s Largest Hydrogen Electrolysis Plant
Hydrogen produced at the 10 MW peak capacity Rhineland facility will be used for the processing and upgrading of refinery products.
Pipeline Data Management System to Become Cloud-based Software-as-a-service
The Integrity Management Solution will integrate Phillips 66’s current pipeline data management system with OneBridge’s Cognitive Integrity Management solution.
New SIL Inline Single Stage Centrifugal Pump Range from Sulzer
The equipment is ideal for pumping mainly clean and slightly contaminated liquids, viscous liquids up to 250 cSt and fibrous slurries up to a consistency of 1 percent.
Iron-based Catalyst Improves Hydrogen Economics
A new strategy replaces expensive noble metal catalysts with an iron catalyst for hydrogen production.
Mobile Natural Gas Compressor Designed for CNG Fleets
The compression capacity of the self-powered GoFlo CNG-80 compressor makes it cost-effective for smaller fleets of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles.
New Melter Pours First Vitrified Waste
A newly installed melter at the Defense Waste Processing Facility at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site has poured its first canisters of vitrified radioactive waste.
Shipboard Waste Heat Recovery System to Be Demonstrated
Waste heat from an existing helicopter turbine will be captured and converted into approximately 50kW of gross power.
Watch: Wash and Recovery Method Speeds Decontamination
Interchangeable equipment, tools and materials promise a faster, more efficient approach to radiodecontamination in urban environments.
New Catalyst Converts Waterborne Nitrates into Water and Air
Engineers have found a catalyst the cleans toxic nitrates from drinking water by converting them into air and water.
Methane Reforming Method to Yield Hydrogen, Carbon Fibers and Nanotubes
The new process will produce hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles and industrial processes, as well as carbon fiber for medical device design, aerospace structures and building products.
