The offshore oil and gas industry is involved in a continuing quest to locate and develop new subsea hydrocarbon deposits in evermore hostile regions and at increasingly deep locations, inevitably pushing the boundaries of technology. As part of a £2.6million...
The abundance of natural gas from advancements in horizontal fracking technology applied to shale reservoirs has created a new paradigm in the industrial sector to utilize LNG (liquefied natural gas) as a replacement fuel for diesel in many high horsepower applications...
Announcements of domestic air separation unit builds during 2012 through 2015 indicate that it will be a busy few years for the US air gases business. This is a welcome change from earlier in the decade when economic recessions only...
We are now more than half way through 2013 and in the US this year’s economy feels much like last year’s. We are moving ahead, but slowly. The recovery remains spotty with forward momentum being driven by a...
In today’s economy, in which metal fabrication is moving towards commoditization, life science offers specialization, value, and synergies to industrial gas companies. Life science markets are diverse and cover a broad range of applications and research including: biobanks (population based, therapeutic, and...
Four parts per billion (ppb) of moisture almost cost Tiger Optics a major order from a large chipmaker. In the demo phase, Tiger’s new LaserTrace 3 analyzer, boasting the lowest detection limits and greatest sensitivity in its field,...
CRYO DIFFUSION, a VRV Group company (vrv.com), has long been known for innovative products that cater to clients specific requirements. Now, CRYO DIFFUSION is proud to be associated with Deliza (deliza.fr), the designer of the first fully self-contained cryogenic cooking device, which...
“Fast Cars, Slow Change” could be the motto of many automakers. At least that’s Tiger Optics LLC’s (tigeroptics.com) observation when it comes to engine emissions monitors. While other industries have rapidly embraced cleaner and more efficient methods for quality assurance and...
The large quantities of atmospheric gases (oxygen and nitrogen) required in many industrial applications are effectively produced by cryogenic air separation units (ASU). The inputs to an ASU are atmospheric air, electrical power, and water for cooling. The outputs are oxygen...
In this issue we focus on improvements in process technologies used within the industrial gas industry that are raising energy efficiency and cutting costs. Praxair explains its new process technology for Direct Reduced Iron that uses a variety of fuels...
