Hydrogen has been championed for decades as a clean alternative energy carrier to fossil fuels for transportation, as well as for other uses, because it is so “abundant,” and because when it is converted into energy, water is the only...
TWI (www.twi.co.uk), with headquarters in Cambridge, England, and offices around the world, is a global leader in technology engineering, research, and consultancy and has been involved in underwater welding research for the marine, offshore, and oil and gas industries for over...
A welder zips through a sheet of steel quicker than you’d thought possible, both his apron and the air above him remarkably free of soot. Outside, a Chevy Suburban idles—you look for the usual exhaust belching from the tailpipe and...
Oxygen has played a key role in the treatment of drinking water and wastewater for over 40 years. The estimated current global consumption of oxygen in these applications is around 15,000 tons per day. In the US, about 20...
Pittcon is the premier annual conference and exposition on laboratory science. This year, the conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Georgia World Conference Center, from March 13 to March 18, 2011. Pittcon is organized by 95...
Drinking water requires the precise application of the oxygen molecule in several parts of a water treatment process train. On-site oxygen generators can be used for odor control applications and to generate ozone for disinfection or remediation. Oxygen also plays...
This month, CryoGas International examines the many ways the industrial gas industry works with water. The demand for highly sophisticated underwater procedures and technologies is increasing, driven by deep sea oil and gas development and by marine infrastructure development and repair around...
Hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), and syngas (mixture of both H2 and CO) are used in a variety of industrial sectors. The largest applications of these industrial gases are in refining and petrochemicals. Tonnage quantities of hydrogen are used for...
According to a recent report by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) (“What’s Next for Alternative Energy,” www.bcg.com), “several alternative-energy technologies are approaching inflection points in their development, and the day when they could have a profound impact on the global energy landscape could...
When, one by one, the miners trapped in Chile were finally hoisted slowly to the surface in a specially designed escape capsule, they were breathing oxygen supplied by four Luxfer L7X one cubic-meter cylinders, donated by Indura, a...
