Canada: The State of the Hydrogen Economy & Hydrogen Strategy
30.03.2026
Canada has enormous potential when it comes to renewable energy – from hydropower and wind to solar. In 2020, the country published its national hydrogen strategy. Since then, a network of technology companies, project developers and public funding institutions has taken shape.
Safety under high pressure: reliable seals for hydrogen systems
16.03.2026
Reliable sealing solutions are a crucial factor in hydrogen systems – they prevent leaks, increase safety and extend the service life of plants.
Ethernet APL: The quantum leap for valves and actuators
02.03.2026
They are indispensable in the process industry: valves, fittings, and their actuators form the backbone of every plant. Without them, nothing works, and stable production is only possible thanks to their precise control. Nevertheless, this crucial field level has remained surprisingly “analog” for a long time.
Gas supply: Germany relies increasingly on LNG
23.02.2026
Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and the associated energy crisis in 2022, imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have become increasingly important as a key pillar of Germany's gas supply. Within a short period of time, Wilhelmshaven 1, the first LNG terminal, was built and began operations in December 2022, with others following suit.
Hydrogen beyond heavy industry – How smaller industries can also benefit from H₂
02.02.2026
The requirements for modern sealing materials have risen steadily in recent years. Whereas the focus used to be primarily on basic sealing function and temperature resistance, today's criteria are significantly more complex.
Designing high-performance seals that are flexible and future-oriented
19.01.2026
The requirements for modern sealing materials have risen steadily in recent years. Whereas the focus used to be primarily on basic sealing function and temperature resistance, today's criteria are significantly more complex.
Reliable remote-control of valves
09.01.2026
The flexible shaft is a further development of the conventional rigid drive shaft and offers a reliable and durable solution for the manual remote control of valves. Proven over decades, the system is used successfully in both the maritime sector and various land-based industries.
Digital examination of flange connection fitters
08.12.2025
A flange connection consists of several precisely coordinated components: flange, bolts, nuts, gasket, and washers together form a central element of many technical systems in the process industry. The professional assembly and subsequent testing of these connections are crucial to ensure the tightness, safety, and durability of the entire system. Even minor errors can have serious consequences.
Explosion protection in everyday operations: Safe processes when handling bulk materials
24.11.2024
In industrial processes involving bulk materials such as flour, sugar, cement, lime, plastic granules, or metal powder, explosion protection is one of the key safety tasks. Fine, combustible dusts can form explosive mixtures when combined with oxygen and a suitable ignition source.
Risk versus regulations: cybersecurity in the process industry
10.11.2024
In addition to long-standing regulations in the area of plant and occupational safety, there are increasingly legal requirements in the area of cybersecurity, all of which have varying degrees of impact on the operation of chemical plants.
