In focus… Cryogenic tanks and trailers

2019-09-16T16:21:00+01:00By Joanna Sampson, published in gasworld magazine

Cryogenic tanks and trailers are used to store and transport liquefied gases such as liquid oxygen, LNG and liquid nitrogen at high pressures and low temperatures.

New CO2 applications

2019-09-13T14:45:00+01:00By Sam A Rushing, published in gasworld magazine

The carbon dioxide (CO2) industry expands organically, at around 3% annually in some markets. The best way to grow more rapidly in the industry is via the development and implementation of new and unique applications in a wide variety of markets.

Cryogenic storage requirements

2019-09-13T14:55:00+01:00By Sam Rushing, published in gasworld magazine

The carbon dioxide (CO2) industry predominantly contains the product as a liquid under pressure, making it feasible to package, transport, and market for consumption. Some decades ago, the product was often delivered into high pressure stationary customer storage vessels for merchant use – and the hazardous fallout sometimes resulted in ...

Research applications of cryogenics

2019-09-13T15:24:00+01:00By Joanna Sampson, published in gasworld magazine

Whether used to cool superconducting magnets at CERN, as a fundamental enabler in space exploration at NASA or its role in harnessing fusion power, cryogenics is a critical enabling technology in research applications. Simply put, cryogenics is the production, management and utilisation of temperatures below those naturally found on Earth.

Trends in cryogenic valves

2019-09-13T15:33:00+01:00By Parker Bestobell Marine, published in gasworld magazine

In recent years, Emissions Control Area (ECA) legislation and the high price of fuel has led to a need for ship owners to seek alternatives to oil as a marine fuel. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has seen an increase in demand as the alternative fuel of choice. The main types ...

Cryogenic hold times

2019-09-13T15:12:00+01:00By UBH International, published in gasworld magazine

The world of cryogenics can seem a little scary to some – we’re talking of liquids at frighteningly low temperatures and all of the issues that arise from that. For users new to cryogenics and transport of cryogenic liquids, one of the steepest learning curves is the understanding of hold ...
