The IRPC Public Company has awarded Wison Engineering with an EPCC contract for a new hydrogen manufacturing unit in Thailand. Once complete, the project will supply hydrogen to the Ultra Clean Fuel Diesel Euro V Project.

The engineering expert Technip plans to modernize its flexible pipe manufacturing plant, Flexi France, in Le Trait, France. This investment should reinforce its global position in the production of flexible pipes, for the development of offshore oil and gas fields.

The introduction of a new discrete element modeling (DEM) capability into the latest release of CD-adapco’s Star-CCM+ multi-disciplinary engineering software goes beyond computational fluid dynamics (CFD) by adding the ability to simulate bulk material handling and granular flows. In addition, the software includes a broad range of new features and improvements, including more than 200 customer enhancement requests.

Kuka supplies technology package to Asset International in Wales for milling Weholite pipes measuring up to 3.5 meters in diameter.

South American countries still have development potential in the fields of biogas technology and renewable energies. The German biogas plant manufacturer Weltec Biopower knows the potential, experiences and opportunities that exist in South America in this area.

The ‘marinized’ electrolyzer project will be developed at Grimsby in the UK for renewable hydrogen production. The Oyster Project is funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, a public private partnership of the European Commission and will develop and test an electrolyzer system designed to be integrated with offshore wind turbines.

Uniper has collaborated with the Port of Rotterdam Authority to develop green hydrogen production at Maasvlakte in the Netherlands. The move has been carried out based on the findings of a recent feasibility study and the growing demand for sustainable hydrogen from the Rotterdam petrochemical industry.

The successful reference book for cost engineers is now available in English language. It provides an overview of the structure of cost estimates for the planning of brownfield and greenfield plants.

Powerful, intuitively operated documentation tool proves its usefulness in practice — Documenting the actual as-built status of a large process plant is a Herculean task. It is not unusual for the change to the plant itself to take less time than the subsequent changes in the documentation. With myriads of copies and handwritten notes, important information is easily ge lost. For all these reasons, BASF in Ludwigshafen decided on the successive installation of an electronic documentation system — and the results speak for themselves …

Siemens Energy and Toray will jointly promote the development of the largest multi megawatt class PEM electrolysis in Japan under the Green Innovation Funding Program arranged by the Japanese Government. Toray’s new membrane technology will be used in the process. The companies aim to advance the technologies used in the production of green hydrogen by making use of renewable energy sources.
