The role of hydrogen toward a greener future

The commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions is driving the search for cleaner, commercially viable energy technologies. As a result, worldwide demand for hydrogen, known as a versatile energy carrier, is growing steadily worldwide, facing major roadblocks along every step of the supply chain. A shift to absolute-zero carbon hydrogen production requires transformation at every level, a challenge for everyone involved.

How to effectively establish static head while sizing centrifugal pumps in mining applications

In the course of our design activities, we often come across pumping system calculations. One of the parameters that needs to be established for proper pump sizing is the system’s static head. This deliberation frequently arises when one specific type of piping configuration is considered. We often see it in in-plant pumping systems, specifically in slurry applications. This blog article will attempt to demystify the issue and provide some practical recommendations on how to properly establish static head value.

How to reduce plant noise levels

Canada is a leader in the mining and industrial sectors, both of which are expanding. Companies in these industries carry out operations that are essential to societal development and help produce both infrastructure and goods for everyday use. It goes without saying that heavy industry, for all its advantages, has its share of risks, which explains the safety campaigns carried out in facilities and on construction sites. These risks include noise exposure, which is all too often overlooked.

A piecemeal 4.0 approach? Really?

The Internet of Things, augmented reality, virtual reality, digitized twins, artificial intelligence… these technologies are constantly vying for our attention, 4.0 times over. The danger is that you could spread yourself to thin with a multitude of solutions. A piecemeal approach is used by solving problems one after the other, without an overall strategy. We will be looking at the reasons that make us choose this approach and discuss the ultimate way to avoid it.
