Remote I/O – Understanding the Meaning Today

“Remote I/O”, that term does not have quite the same meaning as it once did.  For the longest time, remote I/O only referred to a system where the I/O node was located somewhere other than in the main control cabinet that housed the PLC.

Leak Detection Technology in Power Plants

Leak detection in power plants is critical. Unfortunately, there are many plants in operation today that do not have a sufficient detection system in place at their location for costly leaks.

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.
