In the context of decarbonisation, hydrogen is becoming increasingly important as an energy carrier (thermal utilisation) and as a starting material for chemical production lines (molecular utilisation). Plant operators and manufacturers of specific subcomponents often plan to use methane-hydrogen mixtures initially, and then to continuously increase their hydrogen content....
After fifty years of business, people often look back at the history, at old pictures, brochures and reports. But in REMBE's anniversary year things are different, because here (today just as 50 years ago) it is the people who shape the corporate spirit and make REMBE what it is today....
Lithium-ion batteries are now an essential part of our everyday lives. They have proven themselves for many years due to their high efficiency as rechargeable energy storage in small appliances such as mobile phones, notebooks, cameras, and tools. Lithium-ion batteries have now also made their way into electric cars, bicycles, forklift trucks and battery energy storage systems (BESS)....
Determining the required installation torque for a tight flange system is a daily challenge for industrial valve manufacturers and plant operators alike. All of the components in the flange system have their own individual installation requirements....
The obvious steps to protecting spray dryers include organisational measures such as regular maintenance of the plant components, thorough cleaning of all parts as well as the production facilities themselves, and training of the responsible personnel. Nevertheless, there is plenty of potential for improvement in many areas....
Fires usually develop over a long period of time. Nevertheless, many systems detect too late. Temperature rises in the exhaust air can only be detected very late by means of temperature sensors and conventional smoke detectors are too sluggish and dust-prone for use under industrial conditions due to their functioning. REMBE's GSMX-P fire gas detector offers early detection as soon as gas concentrations deviate from the target state....
Which protective system is the right one for my application? Depending on the results of the hazard and risk analysis, a number of proven precautions need to be taken. They are divided into explosion prevention and explosion protection....
During the processing of combustible bulk materials, there is always a risk of explosions. In most cases, each piece of equipment at a plant is considered separately in order to derive suitable measures for explosion safety. However, it is more effective to look at a facility as a whole and to develop integrated explosion safety concepts. This both improves process safety and saves operational costs....
In recent years, the ‘REMBE Safety Days’ series of events has repeatedly made Brilon a meeting place for global explosion safety and process safety. The content of the events was to present and discuss current topics in these areas as well as to create a platform for networking....
The growing trend of converting existing coal-fired plants to more environmentally-friendly fuels such as biomass requires operators to take a careful look at any potential increased risk of explosion and other potential safety issues. In this article, Johannes Lottermann and Francesca Vincenzi of Rembe GmbH Safety & Control analyse dust explosion risk in biomass plants and propose mitigation solutions. ...
