Understanding Natural Gas Shale Deposits
What are natural gas shale deposits, and where do they come from? Conventionally, natural gas is found in pockets beneath layers of impermeable rock, either as associated gas (gas that shares the pocket with liquid oil) or non-associated gas (gas that is in the pocket on its own).…
Compressor Valve Replacement Vs. Valve Repairs
The reality of compressor valves can initially be quite hard for most people to fathom, as these relatively small pieces of machinery are completely essential when it comes to making sure that our systems function the way that they should. We put so much pressure onto the compressor valves inside…
What to Know About a Natural Gas Processing Plant
Natural gas is something that we all rely on in the modern world. It is a type of fossil fuel that is usually gathered from underground reservoirs by companies that use giant wells. But, what happens after it has been gathered? Before natural gas can be used in our own…
What is the Best Thermoplastic Valve Plate Material?
As with any choice in engineering, there is often more than one correct solution. When choosing the best material for any given task, part of the answer lies within logic, while part of the choice is also a subjective decision. The choice of valve plate material used to produce…
What does Valve Flow and Dynamics mean?
Valve dynamics is essentially a term to describe the valve flow and movement made by a valve to control the flow of gas through its opening. While this itself is an easy principle to understand, the field of valve flow and dynamics is a complex and involving area which lies…
What to Look for in a Spring Engineer
It can be really difficult to know what to look for when it comes to choosing a good spring engineer. It’s also difficult to know whether or not the spring engineer that a manufacturer has sent you is a good engineer or a terrible one. In this article you…
How Do You Gather and Harvest Natural Gas?
Natural gas is something that we are all familiar with in the modern world. Like coal and oil, it is a type of fossil fuel. These fossil fuels are formed from the remains of animals, microorganisms and plants that will all have lived millions of years ago. To know how…
Thermoplastic Materials Of a Compressor
Compressors are used on a broad spectrum across the entirety of the oil and gas industries, with them being utilized as an important piece of equipment in everything from oil refineries to the pipelines themselves. The problem with the functionality of compressors is that a lot of movement goes…
Understanding Natural Gas Processing
What is natural gas processing? You might be imagining that the natural gas that we gather out of the ground can be moved into pipelines to be used straight after collection, but in fact, the opposite is true. Natural gas processing is an important process that allows us to use…
Tools Used in Plastic Bottle Manufacturing
When it comes to the plastic bottle manufacturing industry, polyethylene terephthalate is the material that is used most frequently. The process involved in turning the raw material, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), into a commercial plastic bottle involves a number of different steps and industry specific tools. PET is a type of…
