As an important and valuable asset in the industrial gas business, gas cylinders are being monitored closely by gas companies using cylinder tracking systems as a means of asset management to prevent loss of property...
The ‘Internet of Things’ is a relatively new term that has come to signify a specific set of developments in our increasingly digitalised society.
Imagine knowing exactly how much gas was at each customer site and being able to plan deliveries with complete efficiency. This would be an ideal scenario for packaged gas distributors, because it would solve one...
As these trends infiltrate everyday life, they do of course also extend into the industrial gas industry, where the role of ‘smart’ technology has become a staple asset in cylinder tracking and similar industrial applications,...
While this gasworld supplement is primarily dedicated to the subject of helium, I am describing opportunities in the carbon dioxide (CO2) industry, with insight into the Air Products helium recovery operation from a natural CO2...
From its usage in welding and cutting, fibre optics, electronics, aerospace and leak-testing applications, to its publicly recognisable role in balloon inflation, helium has typically been a gas in increasing demand.
It’s well documented that the helium shortages of recent years have driven a trend for product conservation, recovery and recycling; the softened helium demand coming out of the shortages has been a recurring topic in...
The high-strength properties of carbon fibre that have propelled airplane and automotive manufacturers to build lighter, stronger and more efficient products is now at the front door of gas manufacturers and distributors.
Mastering fusion on Earth would pave the way for unlimited energy resources, such is the magnitude of its development. Controlled fusion is in fact one of the most promising paths to carbon-free energy – and...
