Back Pressure Regulator vs. Pressure Regulator: What’s the Difference and When to Use Each
Submitted by ControlAir
In many industrial and pneumatic systems, pressure control is essential. But not all pressure regulators are created equal. Two of the most commonly used devices—pressure regulators and back pressure regulators—perform very different roles. Choosing the right one depends on where you need to control pressure in your system.

Energy Expenditure as a Factor in Hydrogen Transport and Storage
Hydrogen is key to decarbonization - in the chemical industry as well as for developed nations. However, while it is relatively easy and cheap to produce, pure H2 is notoriously difficult to transport and store. Most methods require high operational and/or energy costs.

The Danger of Hydrogen Leaks and How to Minimize the Risk
Leaks are a pernicious issue in natural gas pipelines. As hydrogen can escape even more easily than methane through the tiniest holes, cracks, and weld seams, the transport and eventual storage of this gas is one of the major barriers to wider adoption of this gas as a fuel and feedstock. Hydrogen permeation and embrittlement only exacerbate the problem.
