Re-specify Consumables for FRP Systems and Logistics Resilience

Awarding the UK Government’s £500 million Hydrogen Transport and Storage Business Model to the Humber could result in £17 billion of economic growth from the construction and operations of the cluster’s hydrogen assets. According to independent analysis commissioned by Humber Hydrogen, it has the potential to support 53,000 jobs during construction and 900 sustained jobs during the operation of the UK’s first hydrogen cluster

Two blue and five green hydrogen projects, owned by different producers, delivering approximately 3GW of low carbon hydrogen. 65% of the UK's total potential new-build storage capacity for hydrogen is in East Yorkshire

The region brings together significant industrial demand, credible hydrogen production, proven salt-cavern storage capacity, world-class port infrastructure and experienced partners ready to deliver. “That is why Humber Energy Board is calling on the UK Government to allocate its £500 million hydrogen transport and storage support to the Humber and select the region’s proposals

1. Leverage technology to improve visibility Using real-time tracking systems to monitor the location and condition of assets in transit can help to prevent and address last mile security issues

Understand how to improve visibility through tracking technologies, optimizing routes using AI-driven tools and building stronger supplier and courier relationships to support a more secure and forward-thinking logistics strategy. Supply chain insights This article explores why securing the last mile is critical to protecting the wider supply chain and maintaining operational efficiency, customer satisfaction and business resilience

The relatively short and sometimes unpredictable nature of last mile deliveries, however, can introduce significant issues ranging from organized theft to delays caused by traffic problems. When last mile deliveries are consistently successful, a business’ reputation among its clients will often be improved

To reduce the risk of misapplication, plant leaders can follow a structured lubricant evaluation process

A practical lubricant review framework includes five important steps: Confirm original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements: Verify the lubricant specifications listed in the equipment manual

What is less consistently understood what generates a disproportionate share of piping system failures, is improperly supported piping and how to properly specify and install expansion joints within an FRP system. Why FRP demands a different expansion joint mindset Expansion joints are flexible connectors designed to absorb movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction, pressure surges, vibration equipment-induced deflection

Pipe supports in FRP systems must be designed to prevent lateral movement while allowing axial movement at expansion joint locations

FRP systems often operate at lower pressures than metal systems, but water hammer and surge events are unforgiving
