A microgrid is a small-scale energy generation and distribution system, typically located within a single building or campus. Microgrids can operate independently from the traditional grid, providing a reliable source of power during grid outages or periods of high demand.… Read More

Portable generators are a type of generator that can be moved from one location to another. They are typically used to provide power for electrical appliances or equipment in case of a power outage. Portable generators can be powered by… Read More

Isobutylene is a highly flammable colorless gas with a slight petroleum-like odor. Isobutene is used as a fuel and as a feedstock for the production of chemicals such as isobutylene oxide, which is used to make polyurethane foam. Covid-19 Impact… Read More

Blue Hydrogen is a type of hydrogen that is produced by extracting the gas from natural gas. The process of extracting the gas is called methane cracking, and it produces a gas that is 99.999% pure hydrogen. The main advantage… Read More

Fracking chemicals and fluids are used in the hydraulic fracturing process to help extract natural gas and oil from shale formations deep underground. The fluid is injected into the shale at high pressure, which fractures the rock and allows the… Read More

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity. A typical PV panel is a collection of many solar cells. Solar cells are made of semiconductor materials, such as silicon. When sunlight hits a solar cell, it… Read More

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a type of nuclear fission reactor which are smaller than conventional reactors, and can be manufactured at a plant and brought to a site to be assembled. SMRs can provide power to remote locations or… Read More

Concentrated solar power (CSP) technology uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area to produce heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity in a steam turbine or engine. CSP systems can be used to power… Read More

Choke and kill manifold is an important part of the blowout preventer (BOP) system used in oil and gas drilling operations. The manifold is used to control the flow of fluid and gas during drilling, and to provide a means… Read More

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a system of integrated hardware and software components that automates the process of collecting energy consumption data from customers and communicating that information back to the utility. The system typically includes meters that are equipped… Read More

Offshore drilling rigs are used for extracting oil and gas from the seabed. They are designed to operate in harsh environments and can be used in water depths up to 3,000 meters. The first offshore drilling rig was built in… Read More
