Case Studies

There are approximately 5,000 km (3,100 miles) of hydrogen pipelines in operation worldwide (according to IEA, 2023). Their use is primarily in hydrogen-demanding industries such as petroleum refineries and chemical plants, relied upon as a mature and cost-effective method of moving high-volume, continuous flows of hydrogen gas safely and efficiently.

In extreme conditions such as dirt, hot or freezing environments where safety is required at the highest standards, industrial high-performance butterfly valves are used. Designed for tight shutoff and precise flow control, these valves not only protect the workers in the field but also provide reliable operation necessary in high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive industrial environments.

What is a key component in the steel and metals industry? Industrial rolling mill applications, where cold rolled aluminum and steel coils are created and used to make everything from spaceships to household appliances. With strip lengths ranging up to 2,000 meters and widths up to 2,500 mm, it would be impossible to transfer the material around the mill and to the consumer without rolling it up to save space.

Why is ammonia transport becoming important for sustainability? Today, ammonia is mainly used to produce nitrogen-based fertilizers. However, this resource has the potential of decarbonization in that it has no carbon atoms in its chemical formula, NH₃.

Industrial scroll compressors are widely used for compressing air or refrigerant in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. They are known for their high efficiency, reliability, and quieter operation compared to traditional reciprocating compressors. 

A snubber is a mechanical device designed to protect pipes and other critical components from excessive shock or sway caused by seismic disturbances or other transient forces. In a nuclear power plant, the environment is defined by its accident conditions.
