Bryan Research & Engineering (BR&E) and INEOS GAS/SPEC continue their review of neutralisation of heat stable salts. Part 2 focuses on how caustic (NaOH) affects amine chemistry and corrosion and the effects of adding too much NaOH.
Begg Cousland Envirotec reviews different mist eliminator types and some of the operational problems encountered which can be managed by correct installation, targeted cleaning or replacement, and selecting appropriate corrosion-resistant materials.
In this real world case study, Topsoe demonstrates how cost effective catalyst changes can result in significant production increase without any equipment changes or revamps, all while maintaining compliance with emission limits.
Recalibrate™ has developed a next generation sulphur burning plant to produce sulphuric acid with ultra-low sulphur dioxide and zero NOx emissions, designed to derisk the permitting process and increase speed to market for new sulphuric acid plants.
Alfa Laval Korea Ltd. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hanwha Ocean Ecotech, marking a significant step toward strengthening cooperation in developing safe and reliable ammonia fuel system solutions for dual-fuel vessels. The collaboration is founded on a shared ambition to advance ammonia fuel systems for dual-fuel vessels. Alfa Laval will contribute its proven capabilities in ammonia fuel and mitigation technologies through ammonia fuel supply system and FSS and ammonia release mitigation system (ARMS) and Hanwha will apply its extensive experience in system engineering and integration. This partnership will facilitate the exchange of expertise and improve productivity and safety on board.
Air Products and Yara International ASA say that they are working to combine Air Products’ industrial gas capabilities and low-emission hydrogen production with Yara’s ammonia production and distribution network, with several major projects under development.
This round table discusses the benefits of different additives as an alternative to formaldehyde to improve the quality of prills.
The convection section of a syngas reformer is vulnerable to creep, corrosion, erosion, fretting and fouling which can cause deformation, local metal loss and failures that risk plant shutdown. Inspection access is limited, but solutions are available. Quest Integrity discusses life management of the reformer convection section to reduce unplanned outages.
Greene Tweed, a leader in advanced materials and high-performance solutions, says it has achieved a significant advancement in hydrogen compression technology. The company’s newly engineered composite closed impeller set a record-breaking tip speed of 688 m/s in testing – nearly double that of traditional metallic impellers. The innovation highlights the potential of advanced composite materials to enhance performance, reduce costs, and improve efficiency in critical hydrogen pipeline infrastructure, specifically the transportation, storage and utilisation market segments.
Barents Blue AS has announced Proton Ventures as a new partner in the Barents Clean Ammonia Project (project formerly known as the Barents Blue project). Barents Blue says that the Dutch engineering and project development company, a pioneer in the clean ammonia industry, “will bring significant resources and industry expertise to the project and the value chain for clean ammonia, important for the realisation of Europe’s largest clean ammonia production plant located in Finnmark, Northern Norway”.
