Productivity boosting tubes for high temperature applications
Reduction of overall maintenance costs for critical equipments have been the need of the hour for many high temperature applications.The service conditions seen in many high-temperature applications are extremely aggressive and harsh. The lifespan for a high-temperature component is often relatively short compared to applications at “normal” temperatures.
LNG: meeting future demand will be problematic
Global demand for natural gas will continue to grow. Between now and 2035, this demand is expected to increase with an average of 2 % per annum. Along with this rising demand, LNG production will increase too, mainly for markets in the Middle East and Asia. The question is: will it be sufficient?
LNG ferries minimize environmental impact
LNG powered ships – from tankers to cruise ships to passenger ferries – are rapidly gaining popularity around the world, not least for the environmental benefits that this cleaner technology offers. Technological innovations are playing an important role with one of the market leaders, Wärtsilä, driving ahead the trend for LNG in the maritime sector.
Taking the sting out of honey processing
Amidst the crowds of visitors to the Stainless Steel World exhibition last November I spotted a gentleman methodically working through a list of materials suppliers he wanted to visit. It emerged that Mr. Milosevic had travelled from his Serbian fabricating facility to find suppliers of AISI 304 stainless to be made into honey processing equipment. I was intrigued to learn about this unexpected destination for stainless steels…
Coral South: expanding Africa’s role in LNG
The Rovuma Basin, situated on the northern coast of Mozambique, has proven to hold significant gas reserves. In June 2017 the Coral South LNG project was launched, targeting the so-called Area 4 above the basin. As from 2022, 3.4 million tons of gas will be liquefied annually by a conglomerate.
