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...
For nearly a century, catalyst-impregnated ceramic pellet media has driven Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) reactions in hydrogen plants. Catacel Corporation (Garrettsville, Ohio) (www.catacel.com) has tested and perfected a new higher performance alternative — the Stackable Structural Reactor (SSR®) (Figure 1).
They go by many names — packs, cages, racks, bundles — but they all do the same thing. They hold gas. To gas suppliers and gas users these hard-working items are vital to moving molecules, and the compressed gas industry...
A process is an organized group of related activities that work together to transform one or more kinds of input into outputs that are of value to the customer. Within this organized group, activities are related, work toward a common...
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...
