On board with marine scrubbers: Resilient solutions for lower emissions
Ever-tightening sulphur oxide (SOx) emission regulations are increasing the use of marine scrubbers globally. Scrubbers operate in a highly corrosive environment and require the resilience of nickel-containing alloys to prevent failure.
Shortage of engineers starting to impact industry
According to reports from various countries, there is a shortage of qualified engineers in general across many industries. If the public and the private sectors are not pro-active, this shortage could lead to significant economic losses and collateral damage. The good news is that there many ‘fixes’ but, given the complexity of the issue, a comprehensive approach is required.
Swedish industry joins forces for electrical heating
The Swedish Energy Agency has granted a project that will evaluate the potential of replacing gas-fired furnaces with electrically heated furnaces for material heating. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions through better energy efficiency and reduced loss of material.
Tubes for demanding applications
The rolling process for the production of seamless tubes was invented by the Mannesmann brothers in 1885 in Remscheid, Germany. Today the Mannesmann Stainless Tubes team is proud of its long heritage and is committed to the continuous development products to support the most demanding of customer needs and applications.
Time to fight corrosion – for the environment’s sake
The global cost of corrosion exceeds USD$2.5 trillion annually, or three percent of global GDP. Moreover, the environmental consequences are enormous. Innovative premium highstrength and high-performance stainless steel fasteners offer significant benefits – from product and asset infrastructure maintenance to total lifecycle costs – in many global industry sectors.
