The Woodlands welcomed its first new resident of 2024 at literally one minute into the new year. Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center was home to the arrival of Griffin Beck Golemon, who was the first baby born in 2024 to the Memorial herman
SwRI is exploring novel ways to mix air and hydrogen within the nozzle while avoiding flashback. The designs, which also target very low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, were generated as part of a project supporting the development of a 100% hydrogen-fueled combustion system for an industrial gas turbine.
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is designing innovative hydrogen combustion systems for gas turbines used in power generation. The designs prevent flashback, a common concern in hydrogen-fueled combustion systems wherein the flame from the combustor travels into the nozzle, which can result in damaged equipment. Hydrogen fuel has numerous benefits including.
SwRI Researchers Test Natural Gas Foam s Ability To Reduce Water Use In Fracking
Southwest Research Institute has completed a pilot-scale facility to create and test natural gas foam as a safe and stable alternative to water for hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as “fracking.” The six-year project is part of an effort to show that stable natural gas foam can be generated on-site at fracking locations using commercially available products.
Fracking involves injecting high-pressure fluids into wells thousands of feet deep to fracture rock formations and stimulate the flow of oil and natural gas. This process typically requires millions of gallons of water to inject sand and chemicals into these fractures to enhance production.
