Managing emissions is a major challenge for many companies. In
Europe alone, a typical refinery can lose between 600 and 10,000
tonnes of fugitive emissions every year; and the majority of...
The quick, accurate, and inexpensive measurement of Trihalomethanes
(THMs) creates numerous opportunities to improve the water
treatment process. THM levels can be lowered throughout the
distribution...
Since the NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) MR0175
standard was updated to ISO status in December 2003, there has been
an air of confusion on what and how products conform to NACE....
From surgical equipment to cooking pans to skyscrapers, stainless
steel has transformed the world as we know it today. Stainless
steel is present in our daily lives and has made a significant
impact...
If you are an instrumentation engineer designing systems for
offshore oil and gas platforms, you don’t need us to tell you about
corrosion damage. It’s a huge and well-recognized problem,
especially...
There are many reasons why bolts should be included in the material
specification, particularly in the oil & gas and petrochemical
industry. In this latest blog from the Process Control team,...
Condensate pots play a key role in maximising the accuracy of
differential pressure flow measurement on steam or vapour
applications. When installed correctly, these simple devices can
significantly...
Traditional coal ash sampling and analysis using a laboratory
facility can take a few hours if there is an on-site lab or days if
the samples are sent away for analysis. Using the Parker...
There are many different industries that work with pressures over
10,000 psi, ranging from the oil and gas industry to laboratories
and waterjet applications. With such high pressures and...
Of the many transport fuel choices available today, none plays a
more strategic role than natural gas in having an immediate and
major positive economic and environmental impact. But of the two
most...
In industrial applications where high pressures (over 6,000 psi)
are used, safety is of paramount importance. Even well below these
pressures, precautions are needed to ensure a safe...
History is littered with examples of how cutting corners has led to
near or actual disaster. Despite advances in instrumentation and
tubing, small bore tubing assemblies still represent the...
Lost and unaccounted for natural gas, particularly at pipeline
custody transfer points, is becoming a focal point for both buyers
and sellers. Even somewhat small measurement error can result in
very...
Selecting materials for a given application is one of the main
design steps towards a safe and cost efficient system, yet a
commonly overlooked stage, mainly performed from a purely...
Manufacture of cryogenic valves where oxygen is present requires
careful adherence to strict BAM and DIN standards to avoid ignition
during use. It is a well-known fact that oils and grease...
In the past, the process of product manufacturers supplying into
Russia was relatively straightforward. The manufacturer (ie.
Parker) gained a GOST R certificate for the product, which was the
state...
The space-saving benefits of storing gas in liquid form were
recognised back in the 19th Century, but a practical, commercially
viable solution for storing liquid gases did not come about until
around...
Instrumentation tubing clamps are often used in very arduous
environments, where they are faced with severe environmental
conditions and high temperatures. The correct specification of
clamp is...
Most public drinking water supplies in the developed world are
treated with a disinfectant chemical such as chlorine, to eliminate
any harmful organisms and to preserve the quality and safety of...
As a user of analytical equipment such as process analyzers or gas
chromatographs, are you affected by the vagaries of your compressed
air supply? How often does a drop in its pressure affect...
