Improved catalysts and reconfigured reformer designs make steam-methane reforming the most scalable, industry-ready source of ‘blue’ H2 For many decades, steam-methane reforming (SMR) has been, and still is, the technology of choice for the large-scale production of synthesis gas (syngas;…
Vibration limit switches reliably detect the fill level of liquids at all times. With Vibracon LVL-M3 and -M4 (photo), this company offers two new series of vibration limit switches that can be used worldwide in hazardous areas due to ATEX…
Graphene has been touted as a “super” material, boasting ultra-high strength, superconductivity and many more superlative properties, but, as a planar two-dimensional material, its commercial use has been limited in terms of reactivity, since reactions can only occur at the…
This lever technology (photo) enables fast and effort-saving multiple wiring of different conductor types with and without ferrules. The connectors are simply integrated into the function shaft of the terminal blocks. Various tests can be carried out quickly and easily…
Construction is underway by AIR Co. (Brooklyn, N.Y.; www.aircompany.com) for a commercial demonstration plant capable of converting captured carbon dioxide into fuel-grade paraffins, as well as ethanol and methanol, in a single step. The facility will be a larger version…
Proper hose maintenance can prevent failures, increase profitability and improve safety Deciding when to change industrial hoses is a common challenge facing plant managers and engineers — and it is a challenging decision for good reason. If plant managers wait…
Dust collection systems are often designed using simple rules of thumb that may not be sufficient for proper operation. Flow analysis can ensure that the systems meet requirements The presence of dust is one of the many potential causes for…
Flange-bolted joints enable connections of singular segments of pipes into more complex sections, as well as joining measuring and process devices, such as flowmeters, pumps, fans and pressure vessels. These joints are potential sources of leakage, which can introduce safety…
The new CC/FC ventilation system (photo) is integrated into the bung of the screw cap that covers the filling opening of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), enabling users to proactively avoid contamination risks. It is used to quickly and safely ventilate…
