US is increasing its shale gas production and should reach 10 trillion cu ft by this year. World gas markets are being hit by a new bug offering player and seems to grow even more, as projections show figures of up to 20 trillion cu ft for year 2040.
Countries with amount of population living outside urban areas, like the US, domestic micro-cogeneration units are growing. The advantage is that with only a single external energy supply (natural gas) overall energy production (electricity + heath) reaches higher efficiencies (90 to 96%) and thus overall cost diminish significantly if compared with “fuel+grid electricity” external purchase….

Towards the end of last year, the German multinational E.ON opened its “power-to-gas” facility in Falkenhagen, which is located in the east of the country. This innovative project involves the industrial-scale injection of hydrogen into the natural-gas system. This facility uses wind energy to power the electrolysis that converts water into hydrogen (H2), which is… Read more » “Pipeline & Gas Journal” chose Supraflow® presentation news in the US as a major interest article. It was included under “What’s new in products and services” for its interest due to major enhancements in safety, operations time and cost. For more information: http://www.pipelineandgasjournal.com/whats-new-may-2014 Supraflow® under pressure tapping tees are indispensable when installing large-volume by-pass diversions, whether branching, networks or standard by-pass assemblies. Pipe perforation is made by means of a “zero chip” cutter, housed inside the tee and retaining the disc and all the chips produced. The ability to install 90 and 110 mm diameter PE pipe electrofusion…
