Swagelok Company, a global developer of fluid system solutions, announced plans to build a new 200,000 square foot distribution center on its Solon campus.

While efficiency is key in any industry, having fast and effective solutions is integral to a successful operation in the oil & gas sector.

What do successful organizations, large and small, have in common? When they are confronted with required changes to their operating systems, based on new governmental regulations, they have little recourse other than to find a solution.

Smart valve systems are vulnerable to cyber threats, similar to most systems and technologies. Often in the valve industry, this threat is overlooked or brushed aside. However, it is important to consider ways to prevent this from occurring to a valve system.

It might be difficult to believe, but there used to be a joke about a geologist reporting back over a field trip and saying: ‘I have good and bad news; the bad news is that we did not find any oil; the good news is that we did not find any gas either.’

Adoption of Severn Oculi, Severn’s connected system for the remote inspection of valves, is going from strength to strength.

Mike Shorts has developed a wealth of knowledge surrounding industrial processes and emission control throughout his 23 years in the industry. Appointed President of Triangle Fluid Controls in 2008 after Durabla Canada’s restructuring, Shorts continues to cultivate and motivate his team of experts to harness and disseminate the latest technologies and product advancements for the purpose of fugitive emission control.

BP announced it will deploy continuous measurement of methane emissions in its future oil and gas processing projects. Continuous measurement, including the use of such instruments as gas cloud imaging (GCI), will be introduced at all major BP projects worldwide.

Brunel University London is the first university in the United Kingdom to research how single-cylinder intelligent valve technology could reduce emissions for the vehicles of the future.Researchers at the Brunel’s Centre for Advanced Powertrain and Fuels (CAPF), claim the electronic system could accelerate engine development, to help car companies meet new emissions regulations.The Camcon Auto’s Single Cylinder Intelligent Valve Technology replaces the traditional camshaft on a petrol engine with digitally controlled electric valve mechanisms.

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Tex.) recently introduced legislation that would require the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a research, development and implementation program for carbon capture technologies at natural gas-fired power plants.The bill aims to create a partnership with the private sector for demonstration project and accelerate development and commercial application of natural gas carbon capture technologies. “The US leads the world in emissions reduction, but to build on that success, we need to incentivize innovation and partner with the private sector to create affordable solutions,” Cornyn said in a press release.
