Facts At Your Fingertips: Hydrogen Production Methods and End-use Markets

Current hydrogen demand is dominated by petroleum refining and fertilizer production, and is supplied largely by fossil-fuel-based steam-methane reforming (SMR). Increasingly, however, demand for hydrogen will come from the energy transition, and will be supplied by a more diverse range…

Acoustic damping for production facilities

Basotect thermoset melamine resin foam (photo) offers outstanding acoustic properties. Because of its fine, open-cell foam structure, it can achieve sound-absorption values in the mid- and high-frequency ranges. Moreover, sound absorbers made from Basotect reduce the echo caused by reverberation…

Modular conveyors for fast set-up and increased productivity

The FIT in-plant and Foresight overland conveyors reliably transport material in the mining industry. The standardized conveyor modules and premium components offer high capacity and layout flexibility, as well as substantial savings in time and resources. The high-capacity Foresight overland…

Diaphragm metering pump feeds demo electrolyzer

The ecoflow LDC1 M910S (photo) has a hydraulic output of 0.2 kW and was equipped with an Ex motor due to the hydrogen produced during the process. In accordance with the requirements of the application, it conveys water at up…

A new reactor system for producing polymers

Traditionally, many polymerization reactions are carried out batchwise in reactor vessels, with the reaction taking place in solution, emulsion or in a melt. This procedure reaches its limits if, for example, the reaction is very exothermic or the viscosity increases…
