Knowing about dry ice uses, its properties and safety measures for handling is useful for a growing number of industries and businesses. The importance of dry ice has increased in recent years, based on its unique properties and, consequently, its uses. At the center of this increase in applications is its ability to sublimate, that is, to go from a solid state to a gas without passing through a liquid state. At the same time, the rise of dry ice uses must also be understood in the context of greater access to suitable storage equipment, including tailor-made cryogenic equipment. A scenario th ..read more

The fact that UHP nitrogen is commonly discussed is testament of the increasing importance of this substance in a number of industries.  Nitrogen is, in fact, one of the most used technical gasses.

Virtual pipelines stand out as a convenient solution in a context with increased interest in cleaner and cost-effective energy sources.  As demand for natural gas surges around the world for its recognized lower carbon footprint, the virtual pipeline system represents an attractive option for accessing this energy source in underserved areas by traditional pipeline infrastructure. Additionally, virtual pipelines also present a viable option for other green energy alternatives, including biogas, biomethane and hydrogen. But what are virtual pipelines, what are their benefits and how do the ..read more

The cryogenic freezer is a type of equipment or device that is in charge of generating extremely low temperatures (cryogenic) in order to freeze certain materials or substances. Generally speaking, cryogenic temperatures range between -150°C and -273°C, values at which the chemical properties of gasses change. In order to produce such an environment, and as we’ll see below in this article, it employs different techniques that differ from the more conventional mechanical freezing processes.  Keep reading to find out how a cryo freezer works, the different types of system and what sort of a ..read more

A thermal shield plays a key role in guaranteeing the right conditions are kept within all types of pipe systems. Considering the specific temperature requirements in cryogenic pipes, we take a look at what exactly is a thermal shield and how this equipment helps achieve maximum efficiency in cryogenic pipes.  Thermal shield: what is it? A thermal shield is a layer or a number of layers that are located within a piping system in order to minimize heat flows and heat transfer issues.  As such, it’s a key component in cryogenic piping, where heat transfer processes can have a signifi ..read more

In short, cryogenic food processing is a technique that involves the use of low temperatures to preserve food. However, this brief definition hardly explains the incredible value of this tool for the contemporary food industry. In recent years, consumer expectations regarding food have been transformed: on the one hand, the demand for meals that are quickly prepared is rising; on the other hand, high quality is sought. In this sense, the cryopreservation of food  allows these expectations to be met, preserving all the taste and nutritional qualities of food, even in food products that are ..read more

At the present moment, regasification as a process is at the heart of many crucial important developments, particularly in the context of the growing emphasis on green and efficient practices in the energy industry. For instance, regasification plants have become an essential part of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply chain, an industry that has been hailed as a facilitator for the clean energy transition. As the world shifts towards cleaner energy sources, LNG is regarded as a greener alternative to traditional fossil fuels and revolutionizing industries like maritime transport through in ..read more

At the present time, hydrogen has become an essential element for many different industries, including the automotive sector, which is forward to developing new sustainable alternatives through zero-emissions vehicles. In such a context, the issue of hydrogen storage (and liquid hydrogen storage in particular) remains at the center of the current preoccupations around this element.  Today, many industries will have to resort to liquid hydrogen storage in order to use this element’s potential. However, this element’s characteristics (for instance, it being the lightest gas in the Universe ..read more
