🎥 Behind the Scenes from the Cold CO2 Capture Pilot Rig! 👋 David Berstad gives ut a tour of of our Cold CO2 Capture rig which is a part of the ECCSEL ERIC infrastrucutre. Producing cold liquid CO2 is key for full-scale CO2-storage experiments. The rig is mainly built for two purposes: 1️⃣ The first is separating cold liquid CO2 from volatile gas compositions. The experiments in this rig have already achieved CO2 purity levels of 99.9%! 2️⃣ The second area of focus is on storage experiments for cold liquid CO2 under varying pressures. 🌐 In our NCCS spin-off project "MACH-2", we've experimented with five-component mixtures, critical for advanced hydrogen production processes. 💼 Stay tuned for more NCCS updates from the lab!

THOENI TSP350 – TWIN SCREW PRESS – Excellent dewatering performance with reduced operation costs    Efficient solid-liquid separation plays a crucial role in the further processing of digestate. The latest development, the Thoeni TSP350-Twin Screw Press, optimises: ⭐dewatering performance, ⭐reduces maintenance and ⭐ service costs. It is well suited for dewatering digestate from waste treatment plants. Utilising the full dewatering potential minimises and significantly reduces capital and long-term operating costs.    Learn more about the smart aerobic treatment of digestate in the PDF ⬇️   #innovations #development #passion #knowhow #thöni #envirnonmentalengineering #renewableenergy #wastetreatmentplants #TSPtwin #wastetobiogas

Great work Mogens Weel 👏 The interest around our high-speed heat pump development is mounting up. Unfortunately, we could not accommodate all that wanted to visit our test rig. If you are one of those who missed the visit, please reach out and we will find another opportunity. The number of participants in the conference and the interest to visit us, demonstrate how hot a topic industrial high temperature heat pumps is. This is with very good cause. Using industrial heat pumps is by far the most efficient and cost-effective way to decarbonise the industry. It was a true joy to meet a unique mix of like minded technology developers, researchers and end users. Everyone sharing information, experiences and not least enthusiasm. We are now - more than ever - convinced that we have prioritised right the last couple of years, putting our resources in the technical development of our new compressor. No fancy marketing, no hasty industrial demonstration, only pure development work. The result is a highly efficient and compact compressor, well tested and now ready for industrial demonstration. #HighTemperatureHeatPump #Decarbonization #SustainableInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #HTHPSymposium"

This is an important subject in the field of energy systems. High-temperature heat pumps are gaining more significance and are revolutionizing the way we provide heat at all levels. In a few weeks, I will be educating my students on the proper techniques to incorporate heat pumps in "background" processes.

As an important element of the SEArcularMINE pilot, project partners are testing the performance of Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) technology, which is used to produce electricity through the controlled mixing of solutions with different salt concentrations.💧 💡 Interested in understanding the role of RED in SEArcularMINE?

A municipal plant in Florida faced high feed pressure and decreased flow in their nanofiltration skids due to silica scaling. After an unsuccessful cleaning attempt, Avista stepped in, conducting a membrane autopsy and recommending targeted cleaning with RoClean P192 and P903, and switching to Vitec 1500 antiscalant. The results? Energy savings: $7,296 annually Membrane replacement savings: $50,400 Reduced cleaning frequency: significant cost savings Discover the full story and see how Avista’s solutions led to substantial savings: https://ow.ly/ifr450SY5so #AvistaTech #waterpurification #ReverseOsmosis #RO #membrane #membranetreatment #purpose #water #waterfiltration #waterpurification #future #circulareconomy #solutions #innovation #planet #waterreuse #reuse #watertreatment #water

Great article published this month in Desalination Magazine, analyzing the results of the pilot that ran in Santa Monica's Arcadia Water Treatment Plant with ROTEC's FRRO (flow reversal reverse osmosis). The article was written by Prof. Mingheng Li, Alex Waite, P.E., Sunny Wang. From the Abstract: "It is shown that periodic block rotation and feed flow reversal balance salt and foulant load and mitigate scaling formation, enabling a 90 % recovery with a typical CIP interval over 30 days."

Pioneering pilot trials at H2Hives outside Oskarshamn in Sweden. H2Hive has developed and patented a technology for storing hydrogen under high pressure in bedrock. The methods are based on boreholes in the ground, which are lined on the inside with, for example, an austenitic stainless pipe. The rock absorbs the pressure from the gas, and the pipe seals it.   For the first time, the storage has been pressure-tested to 1000 bar at Äspö outside Oskarshamn. Swerim was naturally on site!   "It is an interesting technology that may have the potential to be an alternative to both above-ground storage and large-scale underground storage," says Pontus Rydgren, senior researcher at Swerim. “From a materials technology perspective, it could be advantageous to use pre-made tubes. This minimizes the need for welding, which may be beneficial as welded joint may be an issue, especially in contact with hydrogen due to the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. It will be exciting to follow the pilot trials here at Äspö and the development of H2Hive.”   H2Hive and Swerim have now applied for funding from Impact Innovation to study the impact of hydrogen on the material and make the storage concept as reliable as possible.   "For us as a small innovation company, a collaboration with Swerim as a research actor would be valuable," explains Mikael Gustafsson, energy expert and one of the founders of H2Hive. “And external funding would open up opportunities for research and development that we would not otherwise be able to undertake”. #research #hydrogen #storinghydrogen

A crucial component in the smooth operation of Combustion Engines is the engine oil! And that is especially true for the Heavy Duty Hydrogen Combustion Engine too which comes with its own set of unique boundary conditions and associated challenges for the lubricant used. Follow Modestino De Feo's interesting talk on "The Role of Lubricant Formulation in Controlling Pre-Ignition Phenomena in a H2-ICE" at the 45th International Vienna Motor Symposium 2024 tomorrow (26th April 2024) in collaboration with AVL & Technische Universität Graz.
