The Stratawire
Original reporting and analysis from the field: energy, water, infrastructure, industrial technology and AI. Every card shows what the story rests on.
Kobelco's presence on the Gastech floor connects a century of compressor engineering with two demanding cryogenic markets: today's LNG carriers and the emerging liquid-hydrogen supply chain.
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.
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.
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.
A detailed plant model on the Cryogas Industries stand points to the hardware behind LNG: storage, vaporisation, transport and regasification.
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.
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.

A panel taking place now at Gastech in Bangkok is pushing the industrial AI conversation beyond pilots and copilots: what happens when software begins to interpret conditions, recommend actions and take a more autonomous role in energy operations?

Accompanied by Becca Juytong, Gray is touring Gastech in Bangkok today with a simple proposition: inspectors should be able to do the inspection and build the report at the same time, by speaking.

The Stratawire met Dubai-based Kekst CNC partner Ben Curson at Gastech. His work sits in a part of the energy economy that rarely appears on a process diagram: what companies say, who they say it to and how they protect trust when the stakes are high.

Bloomberg, CNBC, CNA, Nation Group and Energy Connects have built broadcast operations inside BITEC, turning the exhibition floor into a rolling global newsroom.

The familiar Wood logo is still the largest thing on the stand, but the smaller line beneath it matters: “a Sidara company”.

The British manufacturer is presenting rotary-lobe gas compressors, process blowers and vacuum boosters for demanding industrial applications on the exhibition floor in Bangkok.
A meeting at Gastech 2026 with engineering leadership from PTT’s Rayong Gas Separation Plant points to the operational layer behind Thailand’s gas and petrochemical system.
A Gastech meeting with Bangkok-based managing director Luca Vianelli opens a window onto the quieter consulting and commercial networks behind international industrial projects.
