The hurdles to making hydrogen a commercially viable energy source are not unlike those encountered when electricity, oil, or natural gas were introduced. The transmission and use of power requires infrastructure and technology specific to the fuel source — electricity requires...
Fossil fuels — petroleum, coal, and natural gas — represent mainstream energy sources: alternative fuels include everything else — from biomass to nuclear. Most of the energy consumed in the US, about 84 percent, comes from fossil...
Moving your business to the next level can feel like jumping off a cliff — you know you need to make a leap, but you are not sure where you will land. With a clear vision of...
In a bulk gas delivery system, knowing the weight of the gas is essential to its transportation. An easy, reliable, and accurate way to measure bulk gases in delivery vehicles is very important, and making the measurement process economical is...
Climate change and the energy crisis are prevailing concerns around the world. Meeting the growing challenges of environmental issues while strengthening the economy is one of the greatest tests facing the world today. The Industrial Gas Industry is in a position...
Requirements for reducing air pollution emissions have been evolving over the past couple of decades and today, are an intricate mix of limits, targets, and caps. In many parts of the world, industries emitting pollutants must not only comply with...
In the coming decade and beyond, the landscape for emissions measurements and environmental markets will be dominated by four major topics. These are: climate change policy and legislation, including assessment, reporting, and reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs); process monitoring for compliance; the...
With the upcoming changes in the CFR 40 Part 75 (Acid Rain), the new Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT), and the reporting and potential national trading of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, measuring pollutants with accuracy becomes more important than ever...
Sludge management can reach 40 percent of the total management costs for a wastewater plant today, making sludge disposal an increasingly critical issue. Sludge disposal costs continue to rise with more stringent environmental regulations and limits, high input costs, and public...
Growing populations and urban density are putting pressure on available water supply, leading communities to have to use more contaminated water sources. In addition, there has been a rise in detectable levels of undesirable microconstituents in water. These factors are driving...
