“CCS (Carbon capture and storage) is a necessity, not an option, for reaching net-zero emissions.” 2019, Committee on Climate Change   Industrial producers and manufacturers are taking ownership of their role in the climate change crisis. The strategies and equipment they use directly affect sustainability and the environment. Industry leaders are already taking steps to […]

Caustic fluids, sediment buildup, and corrosion can wreak havoc on industrial equipment from the inside out. The inside surfaces of tanks/vessels, filters, and pipes are especially susceptible. While the exterior surfaces are easy to clean, these present a more significant challenge. Disassembling and removing parts for cleaning is time-consuming and stops production. Clean-in-place (CIP) systems […]

Ice, glass, and iron are revolutionizing the way scientists think about the long-standing problem of energy storage. This is the story of flow batteries, newly emerging as a prominent stand-alone energy storage solution.  For a long time, renewable energy sources like solar and wind have been plagued with unreliability in terms of reliable power supply. […]

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), or carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS), is a groundbreaking process that aims to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. CO2 is a byproduct of many industrial and commercial activities like power generation, manufacturing, and automobiles.  The process aims to capture and store carbon to use […]

Clean-in-place systems are optimal for cleaning the interiors of pipes, tanks, and equipment in closed systems. This process uses circulation heaters to apply temperature and flow in a series of rinses and washes that pump fluid throughout the system.  The CIP approach removes residue, contaminants, and debris without disassembling the system’s components or exposing personnel […]
