Propane dehydrogenation(PDH) involves the conversion of propane feedstock into propylene, which currently is in high demand worldwide for various industrial applications. This process is already used for notable projects, such as the Alberta Heartland Project, among others, and it’s due to some distinct advantages PDH has. These advantages aren’t widely touted outside of certain industries—and […]
Biodiesel has attracted lots of attention as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. There’s a wide range of potential uses for biodiesel, but processing it into a usable form remains a challenge. This post will examine how we may use biodiesel in the near future and the heating methods and equipment needed to make it […]
In 1926, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) established a set of guidelines that determined electric equipment safety standards—including control panel enclosures. These enclosures protect against various hazards that may damage a temperature control panel or make it a hazard in itself. However, NEMA has created a rating system for different enclosure types. It’s crucial […]
Heat transfer fluids all serve the same purpose, but each type has unique thermal and chemical properties. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of a given fluid is crucial before using it for an industrial application. This post will examine some common heat transfer fluids, their industrial applications, and how they interact with heating systems. The […]
The energy sector currently has one of the largest carbon footprints on Earth, which is why governments worldwide want to “decarbonize” it. Industrial heating plays a significant role in releasing emissions but can also contribute to lower emissions if used appropriately. There are some approaches to heating and heater types that can facilitate reduced carbon […]
