41. 7 Cutting-Edge IoT Use Cases In The Oil & Gas Sector 4/19/2022

    The Internet of Things (IoT) has completely changed the way we live. Many industries have undergone a sea change because of these new technologies. The biggest sector to benefit from this new technology is the oil and gas industry. Today, the oil and gas industry is using the Internet of things to improve the way they work. IoT is a connection between physical devices and the internet. With IoT, smart devices can connect and exchange data.

42. Helping Breweries Cut Natural Gas Costs And Waste Gas Emissions 4/13/2022

    No matter whether consumers choose a pilsner, an ale, or another popular type of beer, there is a critical focus at nearly all breweries today on their production process energy (natural gas) costs and plant environmental compliance (waste gas emissions). Failing to pay attention to the efficiency of these processes at breweries or any other type of food and beverage processing plant can lead to cost competitiveness issues and hefty regulatory fines.

43. Will America Fill The Energy Vacuum Left By The Russia-Ukraine War? 3/23/2022

    Russia’s attempt to redraw its geographical outreach via its stint in Ukraine is generating massive turbulence in the global energy market. Naturally, Americans are highly concerned about the impact the crisis is bound to have on critical energy sources, typically on natural gas. Globally, Russia is the 3^rd largest producer of oil, accounting for 8-10% of the global supply.

44. Brine Management — A Necessity, Not A Luxury 3/15/2022

    Brine is everywhere: desalination plants, gas and oil drillings, energy generation plants, mines, cooling towers, food manufacturing plants, chip fabrication, and many other industries that require high volumes of water. They all generate brine as a byproduct of their processes.

45. Is Russia-Ukraine War Leading Europe Towards Major Energy Crisis? 3/14/2022

    Russia's invasion of Ukraine has sent a shockwave across financial and energy markets in the world. The ongoing crisis has disrupted the oil and gas supply to Europe and raised concerns about the future oil supplies. Invasion pushed the oil and gas prices to record highs. European oil prices soared on news of aggression and are reaching new highs with each passing day. On March 3rd, Brent Crude Futures jumped 3.24% to US$ 116.59 per barrel, after crossing the US $119 earlier this week. U.S. Crude Futures also climbed 3.26% closing at $114.21 per barrel.

46. Meeting The Global Methane Pledge 2/9/2022

    Carbon emissions have long been the focus of global efforts to reduce the impact of industrial activities on the environment. In September 2021, the US and the EU proposed that the reduction of methane emissions into our atmosphere could have a significant and fast acting impact on the pace of global heating over the coming decades. 

47. Fast And Efficient Solution For Crude Oil Measurement For Refiners Using NIR Technology To Optimize The CDU Process Rapidly And Proactively 2/9/2022

    Historically, optimization in the refinery has been concentrated on final products, (e.g., gasoline and diesel), and has slowly shifted focus to conversion and upgrading process units within the refinery, such as for naphtha conversion, catalytic conversion, upgrading units, and alkylation. Still, there remains one especially important element of the refinery that has not been well optimized: rapid and online characterization of crude oil composition.

48. Rising Usage Of SCADA Systems In Oil & Gas And Electric Power Sectors Favors Growth In SCADA Market 1/24/2022

    According to the business intelligence report by the Transparency Market Research, the global supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) market was initially evaluated at US$ 25.56 billion at the base year of 2015. The report projects that the global SCADA market will rise to hit the evaluation of US$ 40.18 billion by the end of the forecast years 2016 to 2024. It also suggests that the global SCADA market will foresee an excellent growth rate of 5.20 percent over the same period.

49. Refinery Improves Boiler Air-To-Fuel Mixture Performance With Help From Multipoint Thermal Flow Meter 12/20/2021

    A major oil refinery’s plant team ran into challenging issues when they attempted to optimize their large primary boiler system, which initially perplexed the plant’s process engineers. After extensive study, it was determined there was a problem controlling the boiler’s burner air-to-fuel mixture ratio.

50. Controlling Your Natural Gas Burn To Cut Fuel Costs And Emissions 12/17/2021

    Nearly all industrial processes and manufacturing operations rely on natural gas as a fuel, even if it is only for plant heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Heavy duty industrial plant processes (Figure 1), such as those found in oil and gas, refining, chemical production and electric power generation, as well as those in the manufacturing industries, including steel, aluminum, glass and others, depend heavily on natural gas to fuel the processes used in their production.
