Технология Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) становится все более актуальной в глобальной энергетике, предлагая инновационный способ преобразования природного газа в жидкое топливо, такое как синтетический дизель и керосин. GTL-технологии позволяют производить более чистое, низкооктановое топливо, которое снижает выбросы серы, сажи и других вредных веществ по сравнению с традиционным нефте-продуктами. Обзор...

Grid-Scale Storage — Large systems providing capacity, frequency regulation, and backup to utilities. Grid-scale storage refers to large-scale energy storage systems, typically with a capacity of several megawatts or more, that are connected directly to the electrical grid. These systems are a critical component of the modern energy infrastructure, providing the flexibility and...

Semi-Submersible Platforms — Floating rigs for deeper offshore drilling. A semi-submersible platform is a highly advanced type of mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) designed for deepwater drilling operations. Unlike a jack-up rig, which rests on the seabed, a semi-submersible is a floating vessel that maintains its position in the water using a combination of ballast tanks and a complex...

Oscillating Water Column — WEC design using trapped air pressure changes from rising/falling waves. The Oscillating Water Column (OWC) is one of the most widely studied and developed types of wave energy converter. Its simplicity and lack of many moving parts in the water make it a robust and reliable option for marine renewable energy. The basic principle is straightforward: as a wave...

Unconventional Reservoirs — Geological formations requiring advanced extraction methods, such as shale. Unconventional reservoirs are a fundamental part of the modern energy landscape, having transformed the way we think about oil and natural gas. Historically, the energy industry focused on conventional reservoirs, which are porous, permeable rock formations where oil and gas have...

Current Measurement Devices — Instruments that provide accurate current measurement for metering/control. Current measurement devices are the essential tools that allow us to monitor and control the flow of electricity in a power system. Just as a physician needs to measure a patient's pulse, a grid operator needs to measure the current flowing through a line to understand the grid's...

Decarbonization of Steel Industry - Efforts focus on carbon-free methods for steel manufacturing. The steel industry is a foundational pillar of modern civilization, indispensable for everything from skyscrapers to automobiles. However, its traditional production methods, which rely heavily on coal, have made it one of the largest industrial sources of greenhouse gas emissions. In the face of a...

Pump Cavitation - Cavitation remains a key challenge for pump efficiency and reliability. Pump cavitation is a critical issue that can significantly damage a pump and reduce its efficiency. It occurs when the pressure in a liquid drops below its vapor pressure, causing vapor bubbles to form. When these bubbles are transported to an area of higher pressure within the pump, they rapidly collapse...

Syngas Production - Syngas provides the intermediate step in GTL and other fuel processes. Syngas, or synthesis gas, is the essential intermediary product in the GTL process and is a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2). The quality and composition of the syngas are paramount to the efficiency and success of the subsequent Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Producing syngas is the first...

Autogas Vehicles - Autogas fuels vehicles with lower emissions compared to gasoline and diesel. The use of LPG as a motor fuel, commonly known as autogas, represents a significant step towards more sustainable transportation. Autogas vehicles offer a compelling alternative to conventional petrol and diesel engines by providing a much cleaner burn. This results in substantially lower emissions...
