Valves May Have Stopped A Race Where Everyone Ran Out Of Fuel
When pressure relief valves and gauges are discussed in relation to automobiles and motorsport, typically it is in the context of high pressure and the need to vent potentially hazardous fluids and gases. However, there is a case where such monitoring would be beneficial not for dealing with a fuel tank that is too full […]
Can Pressurised Air Power Cars?
One of the biggest use cases for pressurised tanks and the relief valve systems that are in place to avoid dangerous levels of pressure is fuels, often taking the form of fossil fuels such as petrol, diesel or natural gas. However, as people are increasingly keen to find alternative ways to fill up the fuel […]
Anaerobic Digestion Could Have Big Impact On Climate Change
Anaerobic digestion (AD) could play a significant part in the combat against climate change, helping the UK to achieve its net-zero carbon emissions goal. According to the UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), there needs to be greater adoption of AD solutions to decarbonise industries and reduce the amount of carbon used. The transport, […]
The Most Unusual Refuelling Stop During A Motorsport Race
The logistical system for storing and transporting fuel is very complex and filled with redundancies and safety measures such as relief valves to ensure that it can safely reach and be supplied to vehicles that need it. This system can be even more complex in the world of motorsport, in no small part because it […]
How Aircraft Avoid Fuel Pressure Issues In The Atmosphere
When managing volatile and flammable gases and liquids under intense pressure, properly calibrated relief valves are a vitally important part of these systems, designed to reduce the risk of damage to the tank and the potential dangers such materials under pressure would pose. However, one unusual situation requires somewhat unusual and complex solutions. Most fuel […]
Biofuels Delivery May Be Key Step Forward For Shipping
The global shipping industry has been a major missing element in the global quest to reduce emissions, as vessels travelling through international waters will not be counted in the carbon footprint statistics of any individual country. However, at least parts of the sector may now be responding to the need for change, with some ships […]
The First Racing Car Powered By Biofuel
One of the most fast-moving developments in the world of motorsport is the increasing reliance on biofuels and more sustainable sources of energy as part of increasingly sophisticated racing leagues. Several sports car leagues use biofuel blends and electrofuels that are more sustainable than pure fossil fuels but can largely be dropped into existing fuel […]
How Pressure Relief Valves Prevent Major Tank Explosions
There are certain events that only seem to happen in films, TV shows and computer games, and a surprising number of them are thwarted in reality by vacuum relief valve s . One of these is the propensity in action films for heroes and villains respectively to shoot at propane tanks and other pressurised gas […]
How An Ill-Fated Engine Proved The Differences Between Fuels
One of the complexities facing the alternative fuel future is safe storage using relief valves , which often require tailored and modified infrastructure and solutions. There is a reason, after all, why putting the wrong type of fuel in your car can be so damaging, and of all the companies in the world who might […]
Biogas And Anaerobic Digestion: The Role Of Tank Protection
In the world’s ongoing quest for sustainable energy sources, biogas and anaerobic digestion have emerged as promising options. These processes involve the breakdown of organic matter to produce biogas, a renewable energy source. While the focus often falls on the environmental and energy benefits, the critical role of tank protection solutions in ensuring the success […]
