The inherent irony that is at the root of many industrial manufacturing processes is this: oftentimes, “bad” things are needed to produce “good” things. Or, to be a little more specific, hazardous things are needed to manufacture useful things. Manufacturers who produce chemical-based compounds such as caustics, acids, solvents and polymers should be well aware of this…

Standards are very high at the acclaimed Urbana & Champaign Sanitary District (UCSD). Very High!
Offering a one-year guarantee on your equipment? Think again.
When the team at this Illinois treatment facility looked to upgrade the pumps on three of its anaerobic digesters, a lifetime of around 20 years was expected.
Almost eight years in, and the pumps that were installed on the 500,000-gallon…

With growing digitalisation and networking of essential security systems, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important, especially for operators of supply networks as part of critical infrastructures.
If protection is inadequate, deliberate manipulations can significantly endanger the security of the facility.
ONTRAS Gastransport introduced the approach of Enhanced Risk Assessment (ERA)…

Traditionally, progressive cavity (PC) pumps have been regarded as the best solution for the most demanding fluid handling challenges.
They excel at handling highly viscous, abrasive and debris-laden media, making them particularly effective in wastewater treatment facilities.
Despite these advantages, conventional PC pumps have gained a reputation for difficult and frequent maintenance, high…

With no need for compressed air, early electric actuators can operate with less sound and less maintenance than the predominant pneumatic actuator.
Of course, the standard pneumatic option offered its own apparent benefits – performance in extreme temperatures, for example, and an elegant simplicity. As a result, the flow control industry has stubbornly clung to pneumatic actuators,…

Gas flaring is now recognised as a major contributor to the emission of harmful gases affecting climate change and society by creating increased incidences of cancer in communities close to flaring sites.
Sadly, flaring has been around for more than 150 years since the advent of oil and gas production, occurring when crude oil is extracted underground and natural gas is brought to the surface.…

As the saying goes: ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’.
A partly submerged tank containing a chopper pump and a mixer at Hendwr Farm’s biogas plant probably will not win any industry awards in the ‘aesthetically pleasing’ category. But who cares? Least of all, Phil Hughes, who runs it.
A traditional hill farm in North Wales that produces lamb and beef? Yes.
A highly innovative…

Hydrogen and its potential as a clean fuel are hitting headlines, as countries representing over half of the global GDP announced a 12-month plan during last year’s COP27 climate talks in the coastal Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
The fuel of the future
All stars seem aligned for hydrogen to help make clean technologies cheaper and more accessible everywhere.
Here’s why. The…

Protecting health and safety at tank farms used as large warehousing facilities for volatile liquids is a serious business.
For many facilities, using an inert gas like nitrogen to fill the “empty” space in each tank is an effective safety measure, but is expensive.
Tank farms
Tank terminals or tank farms are large storage facilities for chemical warehousing. They can be found at…
