Member news ABB to explore green hydrogen production systems ABB and Hydrogen Optimized have agreed to jointly explore the development of large-scale green hydrogen production systems connected to the electrical grid to offer a clean, sustainable and affordable energy source.
Hydrogen Optimized has ambitions to use its high current water electrolysis technology at scale to produce green hydrogen for emerging clean applications across industries, including chemical, utility and transportation. ABB’s hydrogen research team will explore electrical power supply optimisation through projects involving ABB high power rectifier (HPR) systems. Together, the companies plan to prove that Hydrogen Optimized’s RuggedCell™ water electrolysis technology can be used to develop an integrated product solution based on a 100MW single module plant design concept. The MoU signed by the companies formalises the agreement to explore the implementation of a demonstration system as well as the preparation of a 100MW plant design and commercialisation strategies.
Amarinth delivers pumps for Malaysian FPSO Helang Amarinth has delivered its first order to Technical Asia of low NPSH condensate pumps to be used on the FPSO Helang, which has recently commenced operations in the Layang field, Malaysia.
The order was for two bespoke API 610 OH1 condensate pumps with Plan 53B seal support systems. The pumps are being used within a flash gas compressor package aboard the floating production and storage (FPSO) vessel Helang, which has recently commenced operations in the Layang field, offshore Sarawak, Malaysia. The pumps are for processing condensate and oil onboard the FPSO and so space restrictions demanded they had to operate at extremely low NPSH(A). Amarinth was approached to supply the pumps for its proven expertise in designing pumps for low NPSH duties and delivering bespoke pumps on short lead times.

AMETEK now offers virtual technical support
AMETEK Solidstate Controls has a new virtual service offering. COVID-19 restrictions have made it challenging for AMETEK engineers to enter some facilities and offer technical support for their equipment. To combat this new challenge, they now offer AMETEK Virtual Support. This new service offers remote expertise through the use of merged reality. AMETEK Virtual Support allows offsite engineers to virtually reach out and examine what the onsite technician is working on. It gives their client that extra layer of confidence that the work being performed is under the watchful eye of an expert, ensuring safety. Using a mobile device, the onsite technician virtually places an engineer inside the equipment. The AMETEK engineer can then facilitate an interactive step-by-step troubleshooting session. Not only does this solution offer quick and clear communications, it reduces downtime.
