How Do Flame Arresters Make Petrochemical Industries Safer?
Any industry that uses flammable liquids in bulk storage tanks will be familiar with the many safety measures required for storing, processing, and transporting them. Leaks, fires and explosions caused by hazardous liquids and gases can be harmful to employees, contractors and even the public. One of the many safety devices found in bulk liquid […]
Does Safety Design Reduce Risks In Petrochemical Industries?
With any chemical processing, there are risks involved because of the dangerous substances being handled. The results of major accidents, fires and chemical spillages are often seen in the news from across the world. The need to reduce these accidents resulted in the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations being introduced in 2015. The […]
What Is Biofuel Fraud & How Could It Affect Sustainability?
Biofuel is a key resource for a sustainable, decarbonised world, particularly as it allows for industrial sectors that cannot rely on battery power to use a less polluting alternative. They have become particularly important in recent weeks as the price of crude oil nearly doubled in less than a month amidst conflicts in the Middle […]
Could Biofuel Blends Help Lower Costs During Oil Crises?
In early March 2026, a series of major events caused the price of oil and petroleum products to spike exponentially, which has had almost incalculable consequences on the global economy, but one side effect is a surging demand for biofuel alternatives to petrol and diesel and the infrastructure needed to make this happen. The complete […]
Why Are Some Biofuel Blends More Sustainable Than Others?
The future of transportation will see biofuels play a much larger role than they have at any other point in history, as the world weans itself off of fossil fuels in order to try and reach net zero. The Belem 4X pledge to quadruple the production and use of biofuels will consequently magnify both the […]
Will Biofuel Become The Future Of Personal Transportation?
Fossil fuels shaped the modern world, and finding a suitable replacement will not only mean replacing the current storage infrastructure of tanks with safety valves, but also considering how the fuel is transported, supplied and acquired in the first place. Biofuels will be a huge part of this change, as they can slot into most […]
What Must You Learn Before Transitioning To Biofuel Blends?
Over the past few years, we have seen a lot of countries start to increasingly incorporate biofuels into their energy policy, which has implications not only on a wider macroeconomic level but also increases the need for secure storage equipment and pressure relief valves. One of the most recent of these is the country of […]
US Government Set To Compromise Over Biofuel Imports
The global biofuels market has been growing in recent years as the twin benefits of finding alternatives to oil and reducing carbon footprints have encouraged its growing use. However, questions have lingered until now over what the situation might be regarding biofuel use in the United States. At present, the US is a substantial importer […]
Could 2026 Be The Year For Further Global Biofuel Adoption?
Despite countries like the US rolling back climate-friendly policies, many countries around the world are doubling down on more sustainable energy sources. There is a growing recognition of the need to shift away from fossil fuels, and biofuels have an important role to play. The use of biofuels has been steadily increasing since the beginning […]
Should Biofuel Policy Focus On Producers Or Refineries?
The upcoming year is set to be significant for biofuel manufacturing for many years, and a series of choices made in 2025 and early 2026 could determine the demand for refining equipment and the pressure relief valves needed to maintain safe operating conditions. The loosening of zero-emissions vehicle mandates has ensured there will be a […]
