Cooperation between AMBARtec AG and Rouge H2 Engineering AG - solutions for climate-neutral steelworks

AMBARtec and Rouge H2 Engineering are set to collaborate closely in the future to bring the chemical looping hydrogen process to market maturity. This process can be used to produce clean hydrogen and concentrated carbon dioxide from blast furnace gas and other steel mill gases. It is based on the steam-iron process, which can be used to produce high-purity hydrogen by reducing and oxidising iron oxide or iron nuggets. The highly concentrated CO₂ obtained can be effectively utilised in CCU or CCS processes.

The Chemical Looping Hydrogen process

This two-stage process uses iron oxide (FeOx) to convert carbon-containing gas mixtures into hydrogen (H₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). ‘Our collaboration aims to optimise the process for blast furnace gases and implement it in steelworks,’ reports Uwe Pahl, Chief Technology Officer at AMBARtec. Blast furnace gas, coke oven gas and converter gas can thus be processed to generate high-quality hydrogen. The high-purity carbon dioxide produced during this process can be utilised as a material (CCU) or stored (CCS). The precondition for this green transformation of the steel industry is that the CCS Act, which is currently being revised, must authorise the storage of CO2 from the steel industry. 'This gives the steel industry the chance to make its production more climate-friendly without having to invest heavily in converting the entire process chain. This will ensure that steel production in Europe remains competitive despite the stringent climate protection requirements,’ emphasises Uwe Pahl.

Partner from the steel industry

The EU project H2Loop  provides the framework for this cooperation. ‘We are combining our expertise in iron oxide nuggets and our experience in plant operation with the knowledge of our colleagues at Rouge H2 Engineering in the processing of residual gases,’ explains Matthias Rudloff, CEO of AMBARtec.

In addition to Rouge H2 Engineering, the project also involves two partners from the steel industry. “With their input, we will align the process and associated plant technology with real conditions in steelworks from the beginning and demonstrate this at our partner's premises,” emphasises Matthias Rudloff. ‘We look forward to receiving constructive support from other steel companies.’

The role of iron oxide nuggets

Blast furnace gases contain relevant quantities of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen. If these gases are added to iron oxide nuggets under the right conditions, the iron oxide is reduced and carbon dioxide and steam are released.

FeOx + CO/H2 à FeO + CO2/H2O

The carbon dioxide is separated and made available for utilisation or storage, for example via CCS.

In the second step, the reduced iron oxide nuggets are re-oxidised using steam.

This process produces high-purity hydrogen, which can be used as both a material and an energy source.

Milestone for tomorrow's mobility: TALKE Group invests in hydrogen trucks from KEYOU

keyo.jpeg

A strong signal for the future of CO2-free heavy haulage: KEYOU has announced GRIMMENER SPEZITRANS, a TALKE Group company, as one of the first customers for its 40-ton truck. The semitrailer, based on the Daimler Actros, was unveiled at last year's IAA Transportation in Hanover, Germany, followed by the official sales launch at the end of 2024. SPEZITRANS will take delivery of two 40-ton trucks - both equipped with hydrogen engines and the well-known KEYOU-inside technology - and integrate them into its fleet starting in 2026. The Grimmen-based chemical and gas logistics company will use the trucks in northern Germany.

Convincing technology and a smooth transition to the new drive system from KEYOU

In the end, KEYOU won SPEZITRANS over with its many diesel-like features and its "H2 Mobility as a Service" model. This means that the company has virtually no compromise in terms of payload, range and refueling times, and can count on a smooth, predictable and risk-free transition to the new technology thanks to KEYOU's all-inclusive mobility solution. In addition, the special requirements for the transportation of hazardous materials play a decisive role: KEYOU's 40-ton truck is approved for ADR dangerous goods type FL (AT) and is therefore also suitable for special transports. "The decision to invest in hydrogen trucks is more than just a technological leap for us - it is a clear commitment to sustainable transportation and future-proof entrepreneurship," explains Daniel Gutmann, Managing Director of SPEZITRANS. "Together with KEYOU, we are sending a strong signal: We don't just want to ride along when things move - we want to lead the way."

Teaming up for sustainable road transportation with pioneering spirit and determination

By opting for hydrogen and the hydrogen engine, SPEZITRANS is not only setting an innovative example, but is also giving the TALKE Group a decisive boost. The experience gained from the project will be applied to other locations and applications in the future - as part of an integrated, forward-looking mobility concept. "We are delighted to have convinced such an innovative and forward-looking company as SPEZITRANS and the TALKE Group of KEYOU and our technology, and to welcome them as one of the first customers for our new 40-ton truck," concludes Pedro Bravo, Chief Sales Officer at KEYOU. "It takes companies with exactly this 'moving forward' mentality and pioneering spirit to drive and actively shape the mobility revolution in heavy-duty transportation."

For us, alternative drive systems are not a side issue, but an integral part of our responsibility.

The differences between low and high concentrations of H2S gas

MSA_1.jpeg

Key things to know about hydrogen sulfide

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas can be fatal at high concentrations. But even low concentrations can cause health issues, particularly with prolonged exposure. So how can you best protect workers and minimise downtime? We answer your common questions about H2S.

What is H2S gas?

Hydrogen sulfide is a highly flammable, toxic and corrosive gas found in several industries including oil and gas, wastewater and chemical processing. It’s sometimes called ‘sour gas’, ‘sewer gas’ or ‘stink damp’ because of the way it smells like rotten eggs. However, H2S can’t reliably be detected by smell as it quickly deadens the sense of smell (a process known as ‘olfactory desensitisation or fatigue’).

How dangerous is H2S?

Exposure to high levels of H2S can be fatal, leading to loss of breathing, coma, seizures and death. It’s the second most common cause of fatal gas inhalation exposure in the workplace, second only to carbon monoxide[1].

But H2S can also be harmful at low concentration levels, causing headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathing difficulties and a sore throat. These health impacts can become more serious with prolonged exposure.

Low concentration vs. high concentration H2S – exposure limits

The health impacts of H2S depend on how much is inhaled and for how long. The recommended exposure limit set by NIOSH (the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) for ten minutes is 10 ppm[2]. However, some U.S. states have developed ambient air standards for H2S well below OSHA and NIOSH standards due to concerns about health risks from chronic exposure[3].

For longer exposures to H2S, the recommended limits are a lot lower. For example, if you’re exposed for up to 24 hours, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a maximum exposure of 0.1 ppm.

In response to concerns about the risks of H2S to human health even at low concentration levels, some countries have introduced equally stringent guidelines requiring businesses to monitor H₂S at such concentrations. That’s why we’ve recently updated our ALTAIR io™ 4 Connected Gas Detector, offering the option of a low-concentration hydrogen sulfide sensor that can detect H2S at very low levels*.

H2S in industry – the different sector impacts

H2S creates safety challenges for many industries. But some industries are more likely to be affected. These include:

Oil, Gas & Petrochemical (OGP)

OGP facilities handle raw ‘sour’ gas and oil which are naturally high in H2S. Extraction and refining processes release H2S, which may accumulate in confined, poorly ventilated spaces like processing units, pipelines and storage tanks. Closed systems with high-pressure conditions amplify the risks for workers.

Balancing safety and operational efficiency is an ongoing challenge in the OGP industry. Some are tackling this challenge by integrating new technological solutions into their safety management practices.

Waste water management

Wastewater facilities such as closed pipelines and sludge tanks have low oxygen levels and so provide the ideal conditions for H2S buildup. This is because sulfate-reducing bacteria which break down organic material and produce H₂S as a byproduct thrive in anaerobic (low-oxygen) conditions.

One of the key risks for wastewater workers is when they’re entering confined spaces like tanks and sewer lines. For many waste water management businesses, real-time monitoring of gas levels is considered a must-have.

Steel production

The steel industry’s use of high-temperature processes and sulfur-rich materials can lead to the release of H2S, creating hazards for workers. Confined, poorly ventilated spaces and desulfurisation units pose particular risks.

A safety challenge for large steel production facilities can be determining who has used which portable gas detector and when. One company has found a solution to this common problem using the Connected Work Platform driven by ALTAIR io™ 4 connected gas detector.

Preventative measures – safeguarding workers

Given the well-documented risks of H2S to workers, safety managers are seeking out effective preventative measures, including regular training and effective ventilation. The use of Personal Protective Equipment is also important.

But a particularly helpful method for avoiding excessive H2S exposure is constant monitoring by advanced gas detection systems such as our ALTAIR io 4 Connected Gas Detector. Such systems can give you an early warning of even subtle increases in H2S concentration, helping you stay ahead of potential risks. Our updated ALTAIR io 4 device can detect subtle changes in H2S concentration levels at a resolution of 0.1 ppm, offering enhanced protection to workers. The default configuration for low-concentration H2S detection starts at 0.3 ppm, but customers may choose to configure the device to detect H2S starting at 0.0 ppm. This capability is particularly important in industries like oil and gas where companies wish to monitor low levels of H2S. Our low-concentration H2S sensor also offers processes designed to streamline regulatory compliance, minimising downtime and allowing readiness even for large-scale operations.

As with all toxic gases, early detection of H2S is an excellent way to alert safety managers to small increases in H2S emissions so they can help workers avoid harmful exposure, even at low concentrations.

*The default configuration for low-concentration H2S detection on the ALTAIR io 4 connected gas detector starts at 0.3 ppm, but customers may choose to configure the device to detect H2S starting at 0.0 ppm (in increments of 0.1 ppm).

Blog 88 Dare You Enter the Green Ammonia Triangle

angus_keddie.jpeg

According to Britannica.com. the Bermuda Triangle is a section of the North Atlantic Ocean off North America in which more than 50 ships and 20 airplanes are said to have mysteriously disappeared. Wikipedia goes on to note that in 1952 Fate magazine published "Sea Mystery at Our Back Door", where the author recounted the loss of several planes and ships since World War II. A geography not to be messed with, it seems.

Similarly, in the realm high hazard processing facilities, another challenging geography is the Green Ammonia triangle.

Green Ammonia production is likely to far outweighs the more polluting black, grey or blue production methods, as we transition to a fossil free future. As materials develop, advances in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) technology for electrolysers yields greater efficiencies year on year. The route to produce ammonia as a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) brings significant transportation benefits when comparing transportation of liquid H2 in its virgin state.

However, a triangle of significant hazards exists during the ammonia production process, namely:

  1. Nitrogen manufactured from an Air Separation Unit, consists of asphyxiant & cryogenic hazards.
  2. Hydrogen possesses very low minimum ignition energies (0.017mJ) & has a significant explosive fuel range (4-75% v/v) & will generate a deflagration producing a significant pressure wave (550 bar m/s).
  3. The resultant ammonia (produced by the Haber Bosch process) is highly toxic.

At each stage of process design, especially at conceptual, it is imperative to make wise choices of plant/equipment layout. A HAZID study (HS 2) will tease out the safeguard requirements, for example:

  • Blast Walls - however an inherently safe design (ISD) may be favoured negating this.
  • Spacing of equipment / minimise congestion will help to reduce pressure wave magnitude & assist for equipment inspections or routines. Plant layout is a critical factor not only for constructability but will assist a Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) approach and process release of units.

HAZOP (HS 3) must consider an ISD, versus Safety Instrumented Functions which not only need to be appropriately designed (IEC 61511) but maintained for the life of the plant. Any upgrades or changes must be covered by appropriate Functional Safety Audits (FSA’s). DSEAR will need to be followed and adopted prior to final confirmed locations.

Finally, consideration of plant hazards for startup/shutdown must be allowed for, as this is when the plant is at its greatest change of flux. Level-headed decisions need to be made for credible unplanned scenarios, with the appropriate safeguards in place to mitigate any potential loss of containment for any of the plants fluids. Add the hazards of high voltage electrical supply required for the electrolysers into an aqueous rich environment.

In conclusion, the new geography of green ammonia is likely to be a high reward one for those who choose to enter. Just take care to identify the hazards so that your residual risks can be rendered known and low.

Extend safety valve lifespan Combination of Rupture Disc and Safety Valve offers various opportunities

For many years emissions were an unavoidable consequence of industrial development. An increase in consciousness of environmental issues combined with subsequent legislation means that major Oil and Gas companies are under pressure to cut their greenhouse gas emissions and several have responded by setting reduction targets over the coming decades.

There are several ways in which operators can work towards emissions reductions and our focus is on the impact the use of various safety devices can have on this target.

The first point of consideration in this regard should be the safety valves in use. Valves are an obvious place to start as no valve is 100% leak-tight, and this decreases every time there is an activation and the valve re-seats. In the building of new plants, it is a fairly simple solution to specify within the design of the plant a valve with a lower leak rate. However, existing plants are looking at substantial investments to replace older designs with newer technologies. Not a viable economical solution in most cases.

While there have been significant increases in the capabilities of safety valves, they are still not the ideal product when considering future net zero targets. No safety valve is 100% leak-tight and they struggle to meet the exacting requirements of the legislators. An alternative solution is needed.

Although rupture discs have been around for many decades, they are often considered only as secondary relief. To be used where there is a possibility that the safety valve may fail. There is a lack of understanding amongst engineers in industry and a number of myths surrounding the use of rupture discs.

A rupture disc is a non-reclosing device and therefore must be completely replaced when there is an activation. Nuisance downtime leads many operators to associate rupture discs as being problematic whereas if a disc is rupturing frequently there is likely a problem with the process. It is still unrecognized by many operators that when the disc performs correctly it is not the problem, but the solution.

How can a rupture disc help to get improved performance from a safety valve? Rupture discs are 100% leak-tight. By installing a rupture disc in front of a safety valve you get double protection and a solution which can meet emission requirements. There is no more leakage through the safety valve in normal operation and where there is an over-pressure activation, the valve reseats to seal the process once the pressure is vented.

The belief that this arrangement adds more cost into a project has been proven to be false, in fact the opposite is the case. A correctly engineered rupture disc will help lower operating costs and increase the up-time for any plant.

In processes where there is a high concentration of corrosive media, increased temperatures and an operating pressure close to the safety valve set pressure, safety valves are pushed to their limits. Poor performance is common-place. High maintenance costs are needed to keep the valve as close to original specifications as possible, increased downtime to the production for routine valve servicing and/or repairs and higher manpower costs to cover the work scopes.

The solution of the safety valve manufacturers is a higher specification valve, more exotic materials with higher capex costs as well as increased cost of spares to maintain the valves. If you consider a typical petrochemical plant with several hundred safety valves the capital expenditure is significant.

rembe_ehs.jpeg

Fig. 1: Rupture disc for isolating safety valves

A rupture disc fitted upstream of the safety valve completely isolates the valve from the process. This protects the safety valve from the process which in turn reduces maintenance requirements. There is also the possibility of reducing CAPAX costs by sourcing a rupture disc and holder in an exotic material and a standard safety valve. The costs of a discs and holder are usually significantly lower than having to source a high specification safety valve which is compatible with the process media.

The protection of safety valves with rupture discs has become increasingly more common in recent years across several industries. However, many operators miss the opportunity to fully protect the safety valve by also isolating the valve from potential corrosion issues on the outlet of the valve.

In many cases, the valve outlet is not a separate discharge line to but is connected to other parts of the plant via a manifold which allows process gases/vapor to enter the outlet of the valve. If there is a risk that the process media can damage the valve via the inlet, this is also the case downstream.

A rupture disc can also be used to isolate the safety valve outlet and prevent any contact with the process media. The rupture disc will also block any back pressure from entering the safety valve and remove those concerns during valve selection.

With burst sensors installed both upstream and downstream rupture discs can be monitored and connected back to the control room for system reporting across the plant, so operators know instantly which valves and discs are in a green or red state.

Another myth surrounding rupture discs is that they can leak. If the disc is to be installed as the primary safety device, that’s to say, without a safety valve behind it, this can be a concern for operators looking to reduce emissions. The majority of leakages via rupture discs are caused by corrosion or damage during installation by mishandling or incorrect torquing. Rupture Disc technology has improved significantly over the years to ensure that damages caused by corrosion or incorrect handling are all but eliminated.  Today’s modern rupture discs no longer use mechanical scoring techniques during manufacturing which can lead to works hardening and corrosion over time.  Advanced manufacturing technologies have resulted in robust rupture discs which are no longer sensitive to torque and virtually immune to damage during installation. Most spurious failures from rupture discs can be avoided by working together with the disc manufacturer to select the ideal rupture disc for the process conditions.

Overall, rupture discs can be used as a cost-effective and efficient way to create a leak-tight process and reduce emissions whether on their own or in combination with a safety valve.
