INA awards a license to Axens to supply FUTUROL

The Croatian oil and gas company INA has awarded Axens a license agreement to supply Futurol™ cellulosic ethanol technology and contract for basic engineering design of an advanced bioethanol production plant in Sisak, Croatia.

Applications of nickel alloys for piping and valves

Inconel alloys such as Inconel 625, 718 and X750 are widely for piping and valves in the offshore sector. Although these alloys are used widely for both internal and external corrosion resistance, they have different applications such as increasing mechanical strength, reducing friction and galling, facilitating cycling and mitigating fatigue stress.

Polskie signs a deal for Świnoujście Terminal extensi

The company Polskie LNG from the GAZ-SYSTEM Group has signed a contract for the extension of the existing LNG re-gasification facility by adding further SCV (Submerged Combustion Vaporiser) units.

Coralarium

In 2018, artist and environmental sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor completed one of his most remarkable works: Coralarium. The installation is situated in a large coral lagoon on the island resort of Fairmont Sirru Fen Fushi, in the Maldives. To reach this extraordinary structure visitors must snorkel or swim around 500 ft (150 m) following an underwater coral pavement that is sea-scaped with planted corals.


Stainless steel is a versatile material that finds applications in various industries and everyday products due to its desirable properties. Here are some common applications for stainless steel:

Architecture and Construction: Stainless steel is used in building structures, bridges, facades, and roofing due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Equipment: Stainless steel is used in surgical instruments, medical devices, and equipment due to its excellent sterilization capabilities, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion and staining.

Chemical and Petrochemical Industry: Stainless steel is utilized in the construction of tanks, pipes, valves, and fittings for handling corrosive chemicals, acids, and gases. It ensures product purity, longevity, and prevents contamination.

Food and Beverage Industry: Stainless steel is widely employed in food processing equipment, brewing systems, storage tanks, and food preparation surfaces due to its corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, and hygienic properties.

Energy and Power Generation: Stainless steel is used in power plants, nuclear reactors, and renewable energy applications like solar panels and wind turbines. It provides strength, durability, and resistance to high temperatures and corrosion.

Aerospace and Aviation: Stainless steel is utilized in aircraft components, including structural parts, fasteners, and engine components. It offers lightweight strength, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Marine and Coastal Applications: Stainless steel is employed in shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and coastal infrastructure due to its excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
