At Gastech in Bangkok, Alfa Laval’s stand is a reminder that some of the energy transition’s hardest gains come from better heat transfer, separation and fluid handling.
Jiuli puts the metal behind energy infrastructure in focus at Gastech
The hardware at the Jiuli stand is less conspicuous than AI or LNG megaprojects, but it addresses one of energy engineering’s permanent problems: choosing materials that survive pressure, temperature and corrosive service.
Cenosco puts engineers, not AI, in control of asset integrity
At Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, Cenosco is making a deliberately practical AI pitch: speed up integrity analysis while keeping engineering judgement and accountability with people.
Cryogas Industries puts the physical LNG chain in miniature at Gastech
A detailed plant model on the Cryogas Industries stand points to the hardware behind LNG: storage, vaporisation, transport and regasification.
Calypso Commodities brings AI optimisation to the LNG trading desk
The company’s Bangkok pitch is not AI as a chatbot. It is AI as an optimisation engine for the moving parts of an LNG portfolio: vessels, cargoes, contracts, market prices, risk and scheduling.
Cybersecurity moves to the control room as energy systems become autonomous
A live AixEnergy panel at Gastech in Bangkok is confronting the security problem behind autonomous energy: when software can influence physical operations, a cyber incident is no longer only an information-security event.
