The growing energy needs of a rapidly developing world cannot be sustainably met without reducing energy intensity. Industry must reduce energy intensity 4 times faster than the improvements it achieved over the last decade. This improvement rate must be sustained through 2050 to meet global Net Zero targets. At Schneider Electric we have identified 5 key response levers to be addressed. Energy efficiency & management is the first and most important in the near term.

Industrial heat pumps offer an efficient, low-carbon solution to recycle waste heat in the hydrocarbon and industrial sectors. By leveraging low-grade heat sources like cooling water and compressor waste, these systems generate usable heat or steam, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Proven reliable and adaptable, heat pumps are increasingly employed in high-temperature applications, CCUS technologies, and hydrogen processes. With advancements in efficiency and integration, they play a critical role in the energy transition and industrial decarbonization.

In this whitepaper, Johannes Poth, Fired Heater Efficiency Subject Matter Expert at Integrated Global Services (IGS) discusses the most common causes of refractory failure, how to inspect fired heaters or furnaces for damage, and the methods of repairing refractories online without the need to disrupt normal operation.

As compared to the traditional filmwise process, the next generation of condensation has arrived for the petrochemical facilities. Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is dosed continuously into the steam line in front of the target heat exchanger to create a water-repellent film on the heat transfer surfaces. This technology can improve productivity and reliability while reducing steam consumption. The increased heat transfer efficiency ensures plants meet operational and sustainability goals.

This White Paper proposes various strategies to reduce the environmental impact of BTX (benzene, toluene, and xylenes) production in aromatics complexes. These strategies include optimizing molecule management, improving energy efficiency, using high-performance catalysts and adsorbents, implementing advanced process control and digitalization, and exploring options like carbon capture and storage, bio-based feedstocks, and plastic recycling. These measures aim to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, solid waste generation, and reliance on fossil fuels, ultimately working towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
