Essential Role Of Breather Valves In Petrochemical Tanks
In the vast and complex petrochemical industry, the safe storage and management of volatile substances is paramount. Storage tanks, often holding highly flammable or toxic materials, require robust safeguards to prevent catastrophic events. Among these critical safety measures , breather valves play a silent yet indispensable role. Petrochemical storage tanks are subjected to various pressures […]

Is Bamboo The Next Big Biofuel?
The future of how petrol and diesel cars will be powered will not consist of fossil fuels, given that at some point a resource that took thousands of years to produce will inevitably run out. This means that a growing number of tanks fitted with a vacuum relief valve are made of biofuels , which […]
Unusual Alternative Fuels That Never Made It To Production
The times are very much changing when it comes to the fuel that is stored in tanks with a vacuum relief valve fitted onto them, and there have been efforts to wean the industrial world off of polluting fossil fuels. However, finding an alternative has become the trickier part, with wind, tidal, solar, hydrogen fuel […]
Experts Debate Biofuel Role In Decarbonisation
The role biofuel can play in helping to generate energy without pumping more carbon into the atmosphere is sure to be a big issue in the years ahead as the world seeks to meet the Paris Climate Agreement targets. The question is just how big it can be. As an article in Chemistry World highlights, […]
When Natural Gas Tanks Were Fitted To High-Speed Race Cars
There are very few instances in modern motorsport where a natural gas tank fitted with a vacuum relief valve would be fitted to a car that would have any hope of passing a technical inspection. The 1960s were a very different story, however, as the increasingly high-stakes and high-speed world of motorsport was reaching a […]
The Environmental Benefits Of Utilising Biogas As A Fuel Source
Biogas is an alternative fuel source that is growing in popularity due to the demand for more renewable, sustainable energy. Biogas is derived from organic matter and waste and is therefore a preferable option to other sources which are non-renewable. In an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower our reliance on fossil fuels and […]
How Pressure Relief Valves Make Action Films Impossible
Most people know that films, particularly more conventional action films, take some quite major liberties with reality. Most people know, for example, that if you fall from a great height into a body of water at a speed too fast for the liquid to displace properly and in the wrong position you can break bones […]
