Critical vessels are key process units in chemical and refinery operations. They typically handle high pressures, temperatures, or hazardous materials, meaning failure could result in the release of toxic chemicals, fire, explosions, or runaway reactions. Facilities use a variety of…
Critical vessels are key process units in chemical and refinery operations. They include gasifiers, steam methane reformers, reactors, distillation columns, and pressurized storage tanks, among other vessels. They typically handle high pressures, temperatures, or hazardous materials, making their integrity essential…
Industrial facilities have always been at the forefront of technology. Today’s companies are actively seeking out and investing in new solutions that reduce emissions, remove workers from hazardous locations, and overcome the shortage of skilled personnel across important technical functions.…
Flare stack monitoring involves the observation, measurement, and analysis of flare systems. It ensures that gases routed to the flare are being completely combusted, minimizing the release of unburned gas into the atmosphere. Flare stack monitoring is increasingly driven by…
Flares are essential, and they are also a regulatory necessity. Facilities that operate flares must comply with numerous regulations that are often changing across local, national, and international jurisdictions. An effective flare stack monitoring program typically requires a variety of…
The steel industry has long relied on physical inspections, scheduled maintenance, and reactive repairs. But the lack of a proactive approach increases the likelihood of breakouts, steam explosions, and other potentially life-threatening situations. Continuous thermal monitoring offers significant advantages, including…
The steel industry has always embraced innovation. However, many critical processes still rely on physical inspections and scheduled maintenance strategies, which increase the likelihood of catastrophic equipment failure. The steel industry has always embraced innovation. However, many critical processes still…
The steel industry is the foundation of the global economy. The US produced 81.4 million tonnes of crude steel in 2023, and industry revenue is projected to reach nearly $140 billion by 2025. In such a competitive industry, ongoing innovation…
Fire is a constant risk at lumber mills and wood processing facilities. Most warehouses, storage areas, and processing facilities are already equipped with fire systems intended to slow the spread of flames and minimize damage until authorities arrive. But as…
The lumber and wood processing sector plays a critical role in the larger forestry industry. Made up of businesses involved in harvesting, processing, and manufacturing wood and wood-derived products, the global market is expected to more than double to $1.5…
