Dry ice is unique, often thought of as a portable refrigerant and of course, physically unique in that it sublimates from a solid to a gas, while providing refrigeration value. The further by-product value, when...
Hydrogen is widely used in the petroleum refining industry to remove impurities found in crude oil such as sulfur, olefins and aromatics to meet product fuels specifications. Removing these impurities allow fuels to burn cleaner...
Kiwa Gastec’s UK origins lie in Government-funded research into gas and solid fuel, and cutting-edge developments in gasification. Now some 70 years since its inception, Kiwa Gastec is today owned by the Kiwa Group, a...
On the way to realising the much-discussed COP21 climate goals, decarbonising transport is key. Hydrogen offers promising opportunities for driving forward sustainable mobility and energy whilst being profitable – as recent findings affirm.
For anyone in the room at gasworld’s Clean Energies Conference in Amsterdam in April, it was clear to see just how much energy there was for the Hydrogen Economy.
Many of the most sophisticated applications in the field of cryogenics have been developed at the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
This month, gasworld takes a look at the many ways cryogens are used in manufacturing and processing. Here we examine shrink fitting, a unique way of applying very cold temperatures to manipulate metal.
There is really no such thing as a perfect vacuum – just varying degrees of very low pressure. Even in deep interstellar space, the closest there is to a perfect vacuum, there are still a...
By far, the cryogenic freezing of food products is the hallmark of low temperature applications for the commodity that is carbon dioxide (CO2).
