Hydrogen chloride (HCl), an important specialty gas, forms hydrochloric acid, a highly corrosive mineral acid, when it comes in contact with water. HCl is also known as Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (AHCl) — meaning water-free.
“On March 11, 1968, a NASA subcontractor shipped a cryogenic oxygen tank to a California assembly plant, where it was installed into a spacecraft for an upcoming mission,” wrote author Norman Augustine.
Simple, small, smooth, inert, and lighter than air, helium is especially useful to anyone that needs to make a small molecule transfer in their work process. This tiny and inert molecule is ideal for leak detection.
Although carbon dioxide (CO2) has played a role in the industrial preparation of food and beverages for decades, the provision of CO2 to today’s food and beverage manufacturers and processors is a highly advanced and exact science.
There are a wide variety of hydrogen compressor and pump technologies in use today. Types of compressors include diaphragm, reciprocating piston, and centrifugal. Pumps for hydrogen applications consist of various kinds of positive displacement systems. Each compressor and...
In this issue, CryoGas International focuses on hydrogen, including uses, developments, markets, and players. To complement this topic, we interviewed Barney Rush, Chairman and CEO of H2Gen Innovations, located in Alexandria, Virginia. Started seven years ago, H2Gen Innovations focuses on...
Hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic feedstocks using a variety of process technologies. Hydrogen-containing compounds such as fossil fuels, biomass or even water can be a source of hydrogen. Thermochemical processes can be used to produce hydrogen from biomass and from...
