Taking an example from the food processing industry: Fluidized beds are used to accelerate freezing in some individually quick frozen (IQF) tunnel freezers. These Fluidized bed tunnels are typically used on small food products like peas, shrimp or sliced vegetables, and may use cryogenic or vapor-compression refrigeration. The fluid used in ...
Cryogenic cooling of devices and material is usually achieved via the use of liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, or a mechanical cryocooler (which uses high-pressure helium lines). Gifford-McMahon cryocoolers, pulse tube cryocoolers and Stirling cryocoolers are in wide use with selection based on required base temperature and cooling capacity.

Delivery of bulk solids, in a food or process plant from one point to another point in the process; The construction of high pressure storage vessels (large pressure vessels are constructed from plate, not pipe owing to their wall thickness and size). Additionally, pipes are used for many purposes that do not involve conveying fluid.
