Intelligent Pigging Can Be Beneficial In Determining The State Of The Pipeline And Check For Corrosion Or Leakage

Image
Intelligent Pigging Pipeline inspections are essential to ensure that pipelines are safe and in good working order. However, traditional methods often require the shutting down of a pipeline to carry out the inspection and can be costly. Smart pigging is a newer technology that allows for pipelines to be inspected without stopping production. This reduces costs, is more accurate and produces more detailed data. These benefits make it an excellent choice for pipeline companies. The application of Intelligent Pigging is wide-ranging and includes corrosion detection, geometry measurement & bend detection and crack & leak detection among others. Corrosion is one of the most common reasons for pipeline failures. Due to this, many industries prefer to deploy smart pigging for metal loss/corrosion detection. Global Intelligent Pigging Market Was Valued At  US$ 723 Million  In 2021 In Terms Of Revenue, Exhibiting A CAGR Of 5.5% During The Forecast Period (2022 To 2030). ...

Reactive Dyes Are The Mostly Commonly Used Dyestuff for Cotton As They Form A Covalent Link With A Fiber

Image
Dyestuff for Cotton Dyeing is the process of imparting color to fabric by immersion in dyes. The dyes are water-based and absorbed by the fabric’s hydrophilic fibers, where they form strong bonds that make them wash fast. Along with providing a wide range of colors, textile dyes are used to provide texture and enhance the appearance of the finished product. Dyestuff for Cotton also has many environmental benefits, such as reducing the amount of caustic chemicals used in cotton preparation and the amount of wastewater discharged from factories. There are many ways to dye fabric, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most important factor in the success of a dyed fabric is the quality of the Dyestuff for Cotton . Traditionally, fabrics were colored using natural dyestuffs such as fruits, vegetables, flowers and minerals, whereas synthetic dyes became available in the 1800s and rapidly replaced them. This was largely due to the faster production times possible with synth...

Fatty Acid Methyl Esters; Physical Properties Similar to Those of Conventional Diesel

Image
Fatty Acid Methyl Esters Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) are a type of fatty acid ester that are derived by transesterification of fats with methanol. The molecules in biodiesel are primarily FAME, usually obtained from vegetable oils by transesterification. FAME are used to produce biodiesel and detergents. The most widely accessible biodiesel type in the marine industry is fatty acid methyl esters-based biofuel, which is typically blended with regular marine diesel. Fatty acid methyl esters’ are also used as a thickening & emulsifying agent in the food industry. Fatty Acid Methyl Esters are also used in the personal care & cosmetics industry. FAME is a generic term for biodiesel derived from renewable sources. They are used to replace/extend mineral diesel and gas oil used to fuel both on-road and off-road vehicles and static engines. One of the reasons for FAME use in biodiesel instead of free fatty acids is to nullify any corrosion that free fatty acids would cause to t...
