Hydrocarbon Gas Flammability – Part 1 of 3 in a Series on Explosions

01/06/2018 By R.C. Costello

Introduction to Hydrocarbon Gas Flammability Today in Part 1 we will introduce important concepts in hydrocarbon gas flammability. For a fire or deflagration to occur, three things must be present: oxygen (above the minimum oxygen of combustion), an ignition source, and hydrocarbons (in concentrations between the Upper Flammability Limit and Lower Flammability Limit). The … [Read more...]

Consider Fischer-Tropsch for the Production of Hydrocarbons

10/11/2016 By R.C. Costello

Making waste into something useful is only one of the things that you can do with Fischer-Tropsch technology. What is the process and how can it benefit you? The Fischer-Tropsch Process The Fischer-Tropsch process is a series of chain growth reactions that involve converting carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas) into straight chain hydrocarbons and/or paraffin wax . Using … [Read more...]
