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.
New inspection technology for the detection of leaks and the structural state of ducts and pipes
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, the fuel of the future?
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.

The ECDA methodology for pipelines (NACE SP0502) in the oil industry
Author: Ph.D. Orlando Salas, September 12, 2022.
The External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) methodology, proposed in the NACE SP0502 Pipeline External Corrosion Direct Assessment Methodology standard, represents an option for pipeline sections that cannot be inspected with smart pigs for reasons such as: low flows, no provision of launch traps, obstructions in the line, changes in diameter, among others
