Global demand for cleaner transportation fuels continues to grow. At the same time, the ability to process challenging opportunity crudes enables many refiners to increase margins. Reliable and robust hydroprocessing operations are essential for meeting fuel specifications in this scenario.
This webinar features two recent commercial case studies illustrating the benefits of unified solutions in this space. You’ll learn about Honeywell UOP’s Unity™ Hydrotreating catalysts, Uniflow™ reactor internals and more.
The shale gas boom established the US as the world’s leading natural gas producer and is responsible for billions of dollars of investments in the US gas processing industry. Since 2012, the US has witnessed unprecedented growth in new gas processing capacity and infrastructure. This rise is due to greater production of domestic shale gas, which is providing cheap, available feedstock to fuel the domestic gas processing, LNG and petrochemical industries. New gas processing projects include the construction of billions of cubic feet per day of new cryogenic and gas processing capacity, NGL fractionators, multi-billion-dollar pipeline infrastructure projects, and the development of millions of tons per year of new LNG export terminal construction.
Attend this webcast to hear from Lee Nichols, Editor/Associate Publisher, Hydrocarbon Processing, Scott Allgood, Director-Data Services, Energy Web Atlas and Peregrine Bush, Senior Cartographic Editor, Petroleum Economist as they discuss the future of LNG and the application of Energy Web Atlas, a web-based GIS platform which allows users to track real-time information for every LNG project.

Introducing an entirely new concept for improving petroleum and petrochemical supply chain performance with the advent of Unified Supply Chain Management for assay management, feedstock evaluation, feedstock trading, plant and network planning and scheduling could be quite disruptive.
This webinar will discuss the unified concept of this new solution and its impact on the human experience, with special emphasis on increased worker productivity as a result of improved data management, interactivity with the software, and the ability to develop entirely new and more effective work processes.

Hydrocarbon processing plants are challenged with protecting assets against both corrosion and fire damage. Corrosion poses a great threat to structural integrity – especially in a fire scenario. Corrosion underneath fireproofing can be hard to detect, and when it’s found, the costs to mitigate the corrosion and replace fireproofing materials can overwhelm plant maintenance budgets. This presentation highlights differences in fireproofing types and how each type correlates with corrosion potential. It will help owners and specifiers select the proper fireproofing materials to last the desired life of their assets, while eliminating the threat of corrosion.

With reduced crude oil prices, the Oil & Gas industry faces a rapidly changing market place combined with lightening-speed advances in technology. The question facing refining and petrochemical producers is how to successfully adapt to the challenges by investing in technology that leverages insights from big data and drives business growth with operational improvements, increased reliability and higher margins.
Join Honeywell UOP’s Connected Performance Services's Business Leader, Christophe Romatier, and Sr. Product Line Manager, Katherine Jones, for an informative webinar. They will highlight a scenario around a new cloud-based service from Honeywell Connected Plant that targets these challenges, provides industrial users with around the clock monitoring of plant data and rigorous simulations, and offers on-going operational health checks and recommendations to close performance gaps and drive operational excellence.

Join us for a live webinar featuring Braskem, the largest petrochemical company in Latin America. In this webinar attendees will learn how Adaptive Process Control in Aspen DMC3 was implemented to lower energy usage by 20%, increase production rates and reduce process variability. The project was completed using existing internal resources, yielding outstanding results and great operator acceptance. Livia Tizzo, Process Control and Automation Engineer, will detail how Braskem implemented several APC projects on ethylene units across the organization.

The prolonged supply-demand imbalance in the oil markets is causing crude prices to stay low for a longer period of time, benefiting downstream operations due to lower feedstock costs and spurring demand for petrochemicals. Today, companies are expanding their ethylene cracker operations to capitalize on the strong demand, and utilizing advanced analytics and design simulation tools to do “more with less” in the current volatile environment.
In this webinar, learn how you can use simulated design tools and advanced analytics to:
- Reduce CAPEX through optimized process design during the FEED stage
- Reduce OPEX through optimized process conditions during operations
- Improve asset ROI through early warning of asset failure before it happens, reducing unplanned downtime and improving asset availability.
