Leaks are a pernicious issue in natural gas pipelines. As hydrogen can escape even more easily than methane through the tiniest holes, cracks, and weld seams, the transport and eventual storage of this gas is one of the major barriers to wider adoption of this gas as a …
Hydrogen leakage threatens the decarbonization of the chemical industry, but that’s no reason to abandon efforts to make the switch from fossil fuels to hydrogen. The chemical industry needs hydrogen in order to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, an …
The flexible membrane in a diaphragm pressure gauge, a specialized industrial gauge, gives it several advantages over standard Bourdon tube gauges and capsule pressure gauges. A diaphragm pressure gauge, sold under the Sealgauge™ brand at WIKA and also known as …
At a Texas-based syngas plant, the thermocouples in its partial oxidation units were lasting an average of three months before failing. But after switching to WIKA’s TC84 platinum thermocouple with sapphire protection tube, the facility has not had to replace its …
The extreme temperatures and high concentration of hydrogen in partial oxidation (POX) reactors create a harsh environment for measuring instruments that are not equipped to handle such challenges. Partial oxidation (POX), the initial process of turning crude …
