This article provides a thorough analysis of various warm-up practices—examining their benefits and drawbacks and proposing well-grounded guidelines for the development of efficient warm-up systems.
This article discusses the best practices for selecting compressors for different applications in refining, petrochemical, chemical and carbon capture plants.
With the aim to maximize profit, and contribute to sustainability targets by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ADNOC Sour Gas has optimized condensate hydrotreater operation by adjusting Reid vapor pressure, which resulted in maximizing condensate yield. This article is a case study on using a process digital twin to optimize condensate yield.
Traces of particulate mercury sulfide (HgS) in stabilized crude oils transform to elemental mercury below 400°C in refinery distillation units. The authors evaluated this transformation and measured reaction rates and activation energies in crude oil and Hg-spiked mineral oil, using glass vessels at atmospheric pressure and a microunit at 1,000 psig.
This article looks at the global graphite market and future demand. In turn, it details the author's company's proven delayed coking technology through conventional and two-step processes to produce carbon precursors for synthetic graphite and needle coke for graphite electrodes.
This article delves into the effects of providing standard design temperature allowances for piping systems operating in the creep range. The aim of examining this practice is to enhance the understanding of its implications for pipe engineering.
