E-Learning

Be it turbines, heavy equipment, or any other kind of machinery - monitoring hydraulic and lube oils is critical for performance and to prevent premature wear. In this eLearning session we focus on titration, near-infrared spectroscopy and voltammetry and their potential to increase efficiency of oil condition monitoring. Utilizing these methods, critical chemical and physical parameters can be determined in large sample series completely unattended for faster analysis, higher throughput and...

Precision, accuracy and robustness are key words and essential parameters to determine the effectiveness of any analytical application. Surveyors, refinery, and QC labs must determine the Nitrogen and Sulfur content with fewer personnel while the number of samples keep increasing and the time to report is under pressure. Moreover, all these analyses must be done in compliance with a variety of test methods, such as the ASTM D5453, ASTMD4629 and ASTM D6667. All these factors are pressing on...

Stephen B. Harrison talks to Andres Saldivia business development manager at Hysytech to discuss hydrogen generation from natural gas or biomethane. Stephen's questions include: What purity in hydrogen are you able to achieve? Can this gas be used directly in fuel cells? Natural gas used, does this need to be high pressure or from the normal grid? Is the result a "green element"?  

Stephen Harrison talks to an independent consultant from XTH energy about the decarbonisation in the cement making process. They talk about CO2 capture, and how its impacting the cement industry. Projects around europe are discussed and more details are provided by Xavier d'Hubert on the current progress.

Stephen talks to Philip Bell the hydrogen champion for Aberdeen city. This 5 minute interview includes questions on; The conference centre in Aberdeen The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA) uses fuel cells, for heat and power, how does this work? The fuel cells are supplied by biogas, methane, can you tell us more Philip? Can you tell us about the Clover Hill building project of 550 houses running on biogas? Who will look after all of these systems in Aberdeen? Will the MSc Course in...

Stephen Harrison talks to Andres Saldivia of Stirling Cryogenics. What is the reverse Stirling cycle and what does this process involve? What gases are cooled or liquified? Can you liquify hydrogen to make green hydrogen, if so, how much per day?

Ian Schirmer and Stephen Harrison discuss the problems faced by solar power to optimise output. Predictive maintance on solar panels are discussed. How are drones used in Solar? This and much more in this 10 minute discussion.

Xavier d'Hubert and Stephen B. Harrison discuss cleaning up flue gasses from Cement.

Are you tired of always searching for the latest Safety Data Sheet of a reagent? Are you tired of always having doubts about the up-to-dateness of a label? Are you tired of missing your mother tongue on a label? Are you tired of using a “non”-hazardous chemical which shows a high reactivity and does not smell healthy? Are you tired of working with obviously incorrectly classified self-made neat chemicals or mixtures? Are you tired of being flooded with useless information but not getting...

Join ABB and Tarmac / CRH for a 60-minute conversation about continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS), reviewing their decade-long partnership, how it is evolving to meet changing cement industry needs, and what the future holds. Until recently, high quality CEMS products and responsive field service were what mattered most to plant operators. Nowadays, digital software solutions are helping to maximize hardware up-time and minimize on-site support. And new approaches to delivering...

In this, part one of three interviews with Dr Uwe Albrecht, from the Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik based in Germany, Stephen B Harrsion askes Dr Albrecht to explain more about Gasification, biomethane and green hydrogen. See Part 2>> See Part 3>>
