How Anaerobic Digestion Can Help Food Waste Crisis
Despite millions of people around the world having poor access to food, a huge amount of produce is wasted every day, with the UK alone throwing away 9.5 million tonnes a year . However, anaerobic digestion (AD) can help put all this wasted food to good use as biofuel. More than one-third of food is […]
Why Did An Unusually Shaped Fuel Tank Cause Controversy?
Fuel tanks, whether used to store vast quantities of volatile chemicals safely with pressure relief valves or contained within vehicles, need to be carefully designed with safety at the forefront and every component needs to be designed with this in mind. This leads to some rather unusual situations where an unusually designed fuel system can […]
How Scotland Can Reach Net Zero Targets Through Biogas
Scotland is trying to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2045 to reduce its impact against climate change. One of the ways it can do this is by adopting more biogas initiatives, reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. This is why the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) is hosting its ADBA Scottish Conference 2024 […]
The Prototype High-Speed Locomotive Powered By Natural Gas
One of the ultimate tests of a pressure relief valve system is their use in storing and safely transporting volatile fuels such as natural gas, and a particularly fascinating era for natural gas and its storage systems was when British engineering experimented with the potential of gas turbines. Whilst the most famous examples of British […]
What Happens If A Pressurised Gas Tank Is Hissing?
When working with large pressurised tanks such as those used to store volatile chemicals, inspectors use every system they have available to them to ensure that the material is stored as safely as possible, from sensors to pressure relief valves. The more safety protocols are used, the more information is available to determine whether a […]
What Was The First Alternative Fuel Used In Motorsport?
There are many fields where pressure relief valves and protecting tanks in high-pressure environments matter a great deal, but one of the most fascinating and unexpected ones is the field of motorsport. In the 2020s, sustainable fuels became a massive talking point, with the vast majority of the highest-level racing series moving towards some kind […]
The Motor Racing Championships That Switched To Biofuel
With several technological developments in alternative fuel, one of the most important in the short and intermediate-term is the development of high-quality, effective biofuels. These fuels, both in production and in storage, require effective, secure storage tanks fitted with vacuum relief valves to avoid excess volatile pressure. Because of their importance in the transition away […]

How Pressure Relief Valves Made The Worlds Fastest Airliner
Most of the time, vacuum relief valves are fitted to tanks and machinery that are safely placed on solid ground. Even tanker trucks with valves are firmly and safely secured to the ground as they travel from a secure location to their destination. Aircraft are far more complex because the conditions that their payloads are […]
Could Biofuel Keep Steam Trains On Track?
In an age when rail electrification is replacing diesel just as electric vehicles are a growing presence on our roads, the existence of trains that belch out fossil fuel emissions seems an environmentally-ruinous anomaly. While mainline rail might be modernising, a query may be made of one kind of rail travel that by definition defies […]
