N’GENIUS Materials Technology has developed a new series of high-strength austenitic stainless steels that the company says will transform how materials are specified and utilized across the oil and gas sector.
Sustainable steel/chemicals production: Removal of impurities for valorization of steel mill gases
Industry faces significant challenges relating to the transition toward cleaner energy and more sustainable feedstocks.
Creating opportunities for future fluid machinery experts
The state of understanding science and facts on one side and distinguishing these from anecdotes and often far-fetched opinions on the other side should be concerning to us. Institutions of higher learning can be disinclined to teach needed, applicable or actionable knowledge.
HRSG water/steam sampling: Do it right or face potential consequences
Many large industrial facilities—including refineries, and chemical and petrochemical plants—are increasingly turning to co-generation for process steam and power production.
Fouling in hydrogen recycle gas compressors
Hydrogen recycle gas compressors are one of the most significant rotating equipment in oil refineries, petrochemical plants and upgraders.
Valves, Pumps and Turbomachinery: Achieving the right installation torque with a virtual calculation
Determining the required installation torque for a tight flange system is a daily challenge for industrial valve manufacturers and plant operators.
Reliability: When to consider liquid-ring compressors
Liquid-ring compressors (FIG. 1) use the centrifugal whirling of a sealing liquid to create a series of piston-like water columns to trap gas or vapor between the impeller cells of a rotor installed eccentric to its casing.
BASF and MAN Energy Solutions enter into partnership for construction of one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Ludwigshafen
This project is intended to make an important contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, establishing the use of low-CO2 technologies in chemical production and reducing the site’s natural gas consumption.
Bringing treatments to a boil
The function of a boiler is simple. It boils water to produce steam, which, in turn, provides energy.
