On the road to climate-friendlier mobility, hydrogen is gaining importance as an energy source for fuel cells.
However, fuelling of hydrogen is more complex than fuelling of petrol and diesel.
Unlike other gases, hydrogen heats up as it expands, causing pressure and temperature changes during fuelling that need to be precisely monitored.
Heinrichs Messtechnik has developed the TMU-W 004…

For the offshore oil and gas industry, about 75% of the water produced is treated and then discharged into the ocean, with the rest being re-injected.
Moving onshore, roughly 90% of this water is re-injected, with the rest being treated and re-used or discharged.
With the rapid development of shale oil and gas, and the demand for water for hydraulic fracturing, there is an increasing emphasis…
