Don’t Drink This: Beer Becomes Fuel
Chemists at the University of Bristol have made the first steps toward making sustainable petrol using beer as a key ingredient.
Voluntary Program to Cut Oil/Gas Sector Methane Emissions
The initiative applies to both existing and new facilities and will include participation by 26 companies when it goes into effect on January 1, 2018.
Next Generation Organic Waste Digester for Food and Drink Sector
The system rapidly reduces organic content within waste at source, reducing off-site transportation and processing costs for food processors.
Watch: Synthesizing Silk for Medical Use
A new synthesis technique eliminates the need for harsh chemicals that ruin the bioactive properties of silk proteins.
KBR Wins Contract for Statoil's Northern Lights Carbon Capture Project
The project will develop an onshore carbon dioxide storage terminal in Norway.
Largest Solar-Thermochemical Hydrogen Plant Inaugurated
The facility in southern Spain produces hydrogen directly via a thermo-chemical redox reaction.
New Support Media Reduces Operating Costs and Layers in Fixed-Bed Catalyst Applications
The engineered shape of Denstone deltaP media also allows for users to maintain a lower pressure drop improving operations, but also prevents small catalysts from migrating down through the bed of support media.
Synthesized Compound Removes Fluoride and Heavy Metals from Water
A resin-free, precipitation-free and reusable technique was developed to remove toxic metal ions and fluoride from extremely polluted water.
Watch, Then Drink Your Tofu: A Healthy Whey to Make Alcohol
The world’s first alcoholic beverage made from tofu whey is enriched with antioxidants.
Researchers Develop a Way to Turn Emissions into Fuel
MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into useful fuels for cars, trucks and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products.
How Immersion Heaters Maximize Upstream and Downstream Efficiency in Oil and Gas Applications (Part 2)
Electric immersion heaters are completely invaluable throughout the oil and gas industries. From the point of recovery, throughout the refinery and transportation stages and all the way until the fuel is spent, in some cases, electric process heating makes it possible.
How Immersion Heaters Maximize Upstream and Downstream Efficiency in Oil and Gas Applications
The oil and gas industries need to optimize to maintain respective market shares, and the easiest way to do so is to maximize efficiency at every opportunity, both upstream and downstream, with electric process heaters, sometimes called immersion heaters.
Metering Pumps for Tough, Thick and Corrosive Jobs
For really tough metering applications, Vector Peristaltic Pumps by Wanner Engineering handle aggressive, high-viscosity and high-purity fluids. Vector pumps are ideal for pumping challenging fluids without altering their composition.
Wattco Electric Heaters: A Safe, Economical Ingredient for Food Processors
Efficiency in heating water, oils and other fluids in the food processing industry is realized with electric immersion heaters.
Environmentally-Friendly, Electric Solids Pump Launched by Selwood
The pump is ideal for a range of water and wastewater, oil and gas, and construction applications.
How Do Submersible Pumps Work?
If you use a well for drinking or irrigation or you’ve needed to remove standing water, you’ve probably used a submersible pump. Submersible pumps operate while fully submerged and lift the fluid to the surface as opposed to pumps used to pull fluids.
Digital Control Panels for Industrial Electric Heaters
Maintaining temperature control is imperative for many industrial processes. Digital controllers from Wattco offer effective closed-loop control of industrial heaters.
New Discovery Makes Wood Pellet Storage Safer
A research project conducted by Clarkson University for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has led to the discovery of a new process to eliminate dangerous carbon monoxide gas emissions during wood pellet storage.
Engineering a Good Night's Sleep
Sleep deprivation is a large problem for all types of professionals. Leave it to a set of entrepreneurs to design a solution to help you get a good night's sleep. Utilizing Bluetooth and induction charging technology makes the SleepPhones® by AcousticSheep LLC an excellent choice to get a good sleep.
A Shared Philosophy Ensures Repeat Business
When Holiday House Distributing, the largest distributor of OCS, water and vending parts in North America, needed a modification to a ball valve design, there was no question that it would ask The Specialty Manufacturing Co. (SMC) to create it.
