Prioritising sources of risk at liquefied natural gas storage terminals in Mexico
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations and facilities are growing in scale and number in developed and developing countries. The associated hazards to human health and safety and the environment are being addressed systematically. This paper discusses and refines existing methods to perform identification, screening, and prioritisation for a variety of sources of risk in LNG processes. The steps ...

Energy Security
Renewable & Clean Energy Solutions to Secure Energy Independence from Foreign Oil. FOREIGN OIL: As imports grow and world prices rise, the amount of money we send to foreign nations every year is soaring. At current oil prices, we will send $700 billion dollars out of the country this year alone — that’s four times the annual cost of the Iraq war. Projected over the next 10 ...

Boosting gas pipelines to optimum levels - Case Study
As gas pressure drops in the gas pipeline network, the transportation capacity is reduced. Compressor plants are used to boost gas pressure back up to optimum operating levels. Monitoring fuel gas to compressors is typically accomplished with an orifice or turbine meter. Because both of these methods are subject to fouling and failure, they require frequent skilled maintenance in order to ...

Is nuclear power more competitive producing electricity or hydrogen?
Steam methane reforming is the world's dominant hydrogen production technology, using natural gas as both feedstock and fuel, but producing more than 9 kg of CO2 for each kilogram of H2. Natural gas prices between $6 and $8/GJ yield an average hydrogen production cost between $12 and $15/GJ, excluding the cost of CO2. High-temperature gas reactors, e.g. the modular helium reactor, can be ...

Increase filter life and lower pressure drop, gas turbine - Case Study
With rising energy costs and shortages around the world, the Power and Process industries continue to seek innovative solutions. The demand for energy worldwide continues to rise faster than generating capacity, and the deregulation of the electric power industry has created a demand for products that will make power producers more efficient. Foreign matter entering the air houses of Gas ...

EPA provides more time to comply with air standards for oil, gas storage tanks
The Environmental Protection Agency will give industry additional time to install air pollution controls on storage tanks that are used during the production and transmission of oil and natural gas, according to a final rule released Aug. 5. The agency now will phase in the deadlines to control volatile organic compounds through April 15, 2015, rather than requiring compliance by Oct. 15, 2013, ...

Beyond the Tesla Powerwall: How energy storage is shaping up in Ontario - How energy storage changes everything
There are not many entrepreneurs who can command a room like Elon Musk. When he stepped onto a stage in May to unveil the Powerwall the audience oohed and ahhed and dutifully pre-ordered more than 38,000 of Tesla’s new home battery systems. And while Tesla gets the headlines other energy storage players shouldn’t be jealous. Musk just gave the nascent industry a billion dollars worth ...

Hydrogen as Future Fuel for Gas Engines
Gas engines are providing a wide range of fuel flexibility from burning natural gas and a variety of non- natural gaseous fuels from low British Thermal Unit (BTU) gases as well as gases containing a high hydrogen content. Hydrogen containing gases can be found as by-product from steel (furnace gas) or chemical process, or alternatively hydrogen is produced and blended to natural gas. In the ...
