When selecting an appropriate material to meet the needs of an application, a balance of functionality and cost-effectiveness must be met. The feature has been put together by Alex Eanniello, applications engineer at Garlock Sealing Technologies.
The correlation between performance and savings has many more variables than simply the cost of a diaphragm compared to how long it functions before…

Landfill operators are required to capture and control landfill gas (LFG) as part of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s New Source Performance Standards (NSPS).
These rules are focused on reducing emissions of methane-rich landfill gas from new, modified, and reconstructed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills.
The regulations require that landfills perform surface emission monitoring…

As almost everything is touched by the chemical industry, chemicals naturally play a critical role in society. If their supply is interrupted, the production of many of the things that society relies upon are put in jeopardy, including necessities like clean water, food, medicines, fuel and energy.
It is difficult to conceive of a single manufacturing process in any industry that does not make…

A new report reveals how the north-west could build on world leading plans for local low carbon hydrogen production and use by also pioneering low carbon energy imports through ramping up Britain’s use of ammonia.
The report, Role of ammonia in the North West hydrogen economy by the North West Hydrogen Alliance (NWHA), outlines how using ammonia as a hydrogen carrier could further boost its…

Cities are the engines of the global economy and the central organising forces of human society.
Just over half of the global population resides in urban areas today, and that figure is projected to rise to two-thirds by 2050. Urban life is a fact of life for a growing share of the world.
As the third decade of the 21st century unfolded, urban life came to a screeching halt as Covid-19 leapt…

Celeros Flow Technology (CFT) has injected new life into a heritage pump for a Canadian heavy oil recovery customer, enabling them to increase production.
The pump – a Mather & Platt BB5 – was more than 40 years old and had been subject to numerous post-installation alterations.
Viscous substance
Heavy oil deposits are extremely viscous and require the injection of…

The demands for safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility from the oil, gas and energy industries have significantly impacted the selection of pneumatic valve actuator for quarter turn failsafe valves (ball, butterfly and plug) and dampers.
Actuator sixing depends on the various valve torque values, minimum supply pressure and actuator-valve safety margins / factors considered to cover…

Operators in the oil and gas sector are facing some big challenges – many of which are being exacerbated by the current pandemic.
Oil prices are low and production in a surplus. The cyclic nature of the industry means there is an ongoing need for cost saving and efficiency. However, keeping production costs lean must be balanced with the need for safety. This not only involves a duty of care…

A total of 17 countries in South-East and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, plus Kosovo[2], saw an unprecedented growth in renewable power capacity between 2017[1] and 2021.
Over this period, they cumulatively added 21 gigawatts (GW) of capacity, for a total installed renewable power capacity of 106 GW[3].
Released on September 14, the UNECE Renewable Energy Status Report 2022 was…

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,…
