This company has added two new IIoT solutions to its Plantweb Insight data analytics platform (photo). The new Plantweb Insight Network Management application provides continuous, centralized monitoring of WirelessHART networks. This first-of-its-kind application provides a singular, consolidated view of the…
The Model YZ102 (photo) is a purge unit designed to protect electrical equipment in Class I hazardous areas. The unit applies Type Y and Z pressurizations, and when connected to a supply of protective gas, and utilized in conjunction with…
The Crystal nVision Reference Recorder (photo) is an easy-to-use digital recorder used to both read and document hydrostatic pressure tests, offering precise, reliable information to ensure safety. The nVision’s rugged design makes it appropriate for the rough environments in which…
The new model IBF monoblock with flange (photo) enables the safe connection of pressure-measuring instruments to critical processes, for example with natural gas or aggressive, highly viscous and crystalline media. It is available with ball valves and needle valves in…
A new project is exploring a unique large-scale carbon-capture facility in the U.S. Technology developer Svante, Inc. (Burnaby, B.C., Canada; www svanteinc.com), is working with LafargeHolcim, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, LLC and Total S.A., to evaluate the construction of a…
Researchers at the Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, National University of Singapore (www.nus.edu.sg), led by professor Swee Ching Tan, have combined a moisture-absorbent gel with light-active materials to develop a humidity “digester” that dries ambient air while generating energy.…
Construction has begun on the third step of a project to demonstrate the world’s first integrated coal-gasification fuel-cell (IGFC) combined cycle power plant with CO2 capture. The five-year, $73.3-million project is a collaboration of the New Energy and Industrial Technology…
A large renewable hydrogen production facility, called the Murchison House Station, near the coastal town of Kalbarri, has been unveiled for Western Australia, with plans for up to 5 GW of a combined solar and wind project. The project has…
Hydrogen derived from water and renewable electricity, rather than from natural gas, could offer abundant energy without carbon dioxide emissions if water-splitting processes could be scaled up effectively. But the best catalyst for the reaction — platinum — is scarce…
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are widely used in wastewater treatment plants because they intensify the biotreatment process, reduce the number of processing stages, retain the biocatalyst and help remove the product from the suspended solids. In order to take advantage of…
