Cubic Methane Detection Sensing Solution
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is released at various stages of oil and gas operations, from upstream to downstream. Its impact on global warming is over 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide over a 100-year period, making it a significant contributor to climate change. To meet the goal of methane emissions reduction by at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030, many countries have set ...

Conversion of food waste into hydrogen by thermophilic acidogenesis
Conversion of food waste into hydrogen by thermophilic acidogenesis was investigated as a function of organic loading rate (OLR), hydraulic retention time (HRT) and pH in a continuous stirred tank reactor. In order to identify hydrogen-producing microorganisms, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) – amplified V3 region of 16S rDNA analysis was ...

Thermal Sensitivity in OGI (Optical Gas Imaging) Cameras
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras use pixel detectors that sense tiny infrared energy changes, thus allowing for easy visualization of gas plumes. That’s why OGI cameras like Opgal’s EyeCGas 2.0 are an excellent way to detect small to large gas leaks. Even as far as 10 miles (16Km) away. Why do we need to understand the meaning of thermal sensitivity in an OGI camera? It’s ...

Thermophilic two-phase anaerobic digestion of source-sorted organic fraction of municipal solid waste for bio-hythane production: effect of recirculation sludge on process stability and microbiology over a long-term pilot-scale experience
A two-stage thermophilic anaerobic digestion process for the concurrent production of hydrogen and methane through the treatment of the source-sorted organic fraction of municipal solid waste was carried out over a long-term pilot scale experience. Two continuously stirred tank reactors were operated for about 1 year. The results showed that stable production of bio-hythane without inoculum ...

The Advantage of Changeable Spectral Filters in your Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera
There are two kinds of OGI cameras: cooled and uncooled. Cooled cameras, like the EyeCGas 2.0, allow us to detect small to large leaks (methane and over 400 VOCs) from various distances, up to 10 kilometers away and more. Whereas uncooled OGI technology, such as the EyeCGas Mini, is slightly limited in its capabilities, detecting medium to larger leaks (methane) closer to the source. Inside the ...
