Natural gas: Processing, uses and benefits
Natural gas is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons, extracted from underground, and is one of the most exploited fuels in the world.

Corrosion affects different types of metals that are used in various industrial plants, generating failures, defects and causing leaks. Few methods currently exist to detect these types of failures before they cause damage.
Hydrogen represents the most innovative energy proposal of alternative fuels, with respect to fossils and emitters of polluting gases, greenhouse gases and with great potential as an energy vector. However, it is a difficult fuel to obtain, and its processing from an economic point of view is not economically profitable, entails exorbitant costs because it is not found in isolation in nature.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is key to guaranteeing the quality of metallic materials used in industries: industrial pressure vessel plants, petrochemical plants, power or nuclear power plants, maritime structures, metal structures, bridges and civil works.
Technique for revealing surface flaws in solid materials by visual contrast of penetrant and developer.
Antarctica began to disappear between about 30 and 40 years ago. Under the ice of Antarctica there is solid land, an entire continent that we can barely glimpse from scientific bases. However, what is under that white layer and how vulnerable it is to climate change is now known with greater precision.
Asset integrity helps anticipate risks and maintain operational reliability in complex industrial environments.
Digital traceability and automation improve efficiency and safety in all phases of the oil and gas chain.
Sustainable solutions to protect metals using natural extracts. Focus on eco friendly corrosion control with high efficiency.
Advances in biotechnology increase the possibilities of going beyond current alternatives for energy supply by introducing more efficient and environmentally sound technologies.
Geothermal energy, although known since ancient times, is now a key energy trend in the fight against climate change.
Author: Ph.D. Yolanda Reyes, July 13, 2022. Acoustic Emission (EA) is a Non Destructive Testing (NDT) method, based on a physical phenomenon that takes place inside materials. It is defined as the spontaneous energy emitted by a material, in the form of transient elastic waves. They constitute a method applied to detect and locate leaks and defects such as cracks or corrosion in pressure equipment, machines, installations, cranes, bridges, etc. The advantage of the method is that defects can be recorded before they become problems.
