Continued fallout from the Texas blackout: big financial trouble for energy providers, higher bills, and more blackouts.

Atlas Copco has acquired a majority share of Eco Steam and Heating Solutions, a Dutch industrial steam and hot water boiler company.

The companies hope to launch pilot projects over the next 2-3 years, and later commercializing and scaling applications.

The binary unit will use the geothermal brine of two existing flash power plants onsite to produce 3.6 GW of additional power.

Design capacity reported a small increase, and demonstrated peak capacity reported a small decrease. The growing trend toward more natural gas-fired electricity generation generally encourages more storage capacity.

The investment group penned a letter to the Public Utility Commission of Texas proposing big investments in Texas by constructing 11 gas-fired power plants.

Sicker, a 30-year veteran of the company, holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Ohio State University, along with an MBA from Akron University.

MAN Energy Solutions’ paper-industry vacuum systems registered a record level of incoming orders in the tissue sector in the first quarter of 2021 where a total of 11 contracts were signed with customers across all global regions.

s part of its announcement, the company outlined its ongoing organic hydrogen product development goals and recent pursuit of external research and development funding via multiple government cost share programs.

CO2 emissions in the U.S. electric power sector have dropped 28% over the last decade primarily due to coal-to-natural gas switching.

Although all NGCC generators tend to increase or decrease utilization in response to changes in the price of natural gas, older units tend not to be used when natural gas prices rise because they are less efficient and more expensive to run than newer technology units.

3D printing has opened up a completely new range of possibilities, including for example production of turbine buckets. However, the 3D printing process often induces internal stress in these components which can in the worst case lead to cracks. Now a research team has succeeded in using neutrons from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) research neutron source reactor for non-destructive detection of this internal stress – a key achievement for the improvement of the production processes.

Turbomachinery International has been a regular visitor to the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting (AM) in Florence, Italy. But this year, a virtual format had to suffice.

There are many reasons for turbomachinery problems and failures. Resonance, for example, is often overlooked.
