Q&A session
Penetrant systems are to be classified as follows …
Why meshing of valve subcomponents is more and more critical
Valves are more and more subjected to higher pressure or thermal stresses
Pressure up to 20000 psi – Cryogenic or high temperature – Vacuum
New production technics, like Additive manufacturing, are introducing more critical geometries and surfaces
Finite Element Analysis are used more and more to prevent testing failures
Raw material costs are pushing valve manufacturers to guarantee excellent performances with lither valves meaning thinner subcomponents
Remote inspections using augmented and assisted reality are becoming a key element of the testing, inspection and certification sector
Fossil fuels are not the problem – carbon dioxide is the issue. We use technology to solve problems in medicine, manufacturing, agriculture, etc. and technology is the solution for managing the cabon doxide from fossil fuels. It is morally wrong to deny the billions of people on this plant who do not have acces to the affordable, reliable, and life-saving energy that can be produced from fossil fuels. It is incumbent on the industrialized nations of the world to develop and improve the technologies that provide a pathway out of energy poverty for these people.
Supply chain definitions and concept
API CSOEM and SC20
API 20 specifications
In order to achieve net zero emissions in 2050, fossil fuel use is reduced about 80% from today, and carbon capture and removal removes a further 8 Gt of CO2 emissions. The 2050 PNZ energy system will be dominated by solar and wind generated electricity, but also sees a strong role for hydrogen in the hard-to-abate sectors.
