Wow, I can't cope with my little detective stories.
To much leisure in my Easter holidays.

Sorry again. I ment the Reddit approval was for the Kansas site.
I'll better go to bed now.

I don't think "someone touted a pipeline into Bellville". I propose they are talking about, on site storage tanks with pipelines feeding the Hyperion's.
The approval the reddit's are talking about is for the three Hyperion's on the Kansas site.
In Bellville right next to Western International Gas I think they will have a similar system. I am quite happy that they ar not trying to pump acetylene through the country in a pipeline and that's supposed to be positive.
I'm a believer in hydrograph and think they are doing their job well.
These are all hypothesis.

CHAT GPT on acetylene pipelines.
Yes—it is technically possible to build a pipeline for acetylene, but in practice it is rare, heavily restricted, and often avoided because acetylene is unusually unstable compared to most industrial gases.
Here’s the reality:
Why acetylene pipelines are difficult
Acetylene (C2H2) has some hazardous properties:
It can decompose explosively without oxygen (unlike most fuels).
It becomes unstable at relatively low pressures (above ~2 bar / 30 psi).
It is sensitive to shock, heat, and certain metals (like copper or silver in high concentrations).
Because of this, long-distance pipelines—like those used for natural gas—are generally not considered safe or economical.
Where pipelines are used
Short-distance acetylene piping systems do exist, but only under strict conditions:
Inside industrial plants (e.g., chemical facilities, welding shops)
Very low pressure
With special materials (steel, no copper alloys)
Equipped with:
Flashback arrestors
Flame traps
Pressure regulators
Continuous monitoring systems
These are typically on-site distribution systems, not cross-city pipelines.
How acetylene is usually transported instead
Instead of pipelines, acetylene is almost always handled via:
Dissolved acetylene cylinders (stored in acetone inside porous material)
On-site generation systems (calcium carbide + water)
These methods are far safer because they prevent high-pressure free acetylene gas.
Bottom line
? Possible: Yes, but only for short, controlled, low-pressure systems
?? Long-distance pipelines: Generally avoided due to explosion risk

No long messing around with a pipeline. Just getting started with the Hyperion's.

This will probably be the method of supplying the acetylene feed if the production site is in Bellville and the supplier is Western International Gas. No pipeline!

Well I'm not an insider, only a believer. I'm here from Europe only for this thread and I think the price of acetylene is not the problem but the purity and the pipeline.That's why I thought of Transform Materials but Western Gas can provide the pure acetylene and if they position themselves right next door they won't need a expensive and I think dangerous pipeline to feed the Hyperion's.
In the beginning i loved this thread for it's positiv information. It was the best in the west, But something has changed. Some are getting nervous.
I like your thread anyway

I'm a long-term holder since last summer. I have quite a lot of shares and am happy with the way this stock, let's say, behaves. It seams as if someone is holding his hand under it. So you all shouldn't be frightened. The management is doing it's job but they can't do magic. It's nice to see the pieces being continuously added together.

This might be a way they do their contracts. Let others do the work.

Well, that's the third partner and probably customer this year . I think this is pretty significant.

More gossip
Stuart Jara, a former CEO of Hydrograph and I believe he is still an advisor was, before he came to Hydrograph, CEO of a company called Transform Materials. Transform Materials produces acetylene from hydrocarbons using plasma technology without coal or CO2 emissions.
Together with Johnson Mattheys
they build for Denka, a leading Japanese chemicals company, the construction of a Transform Materials acetylene-hydrogen plant. That plant is under construction and is expected to be commissioned in 2025. This would be a nice toy for our production facility, green, clean, and no pipeline.
