http://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com Hydrocarbon Processing http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/june-2024/sustainability-and-the-energy-transition/transitioning-to-an-electrified-future/ As countries responsible for 75% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions set net-zero targets, oil and gas, chemicals and other energy-intensive process industries are under increasing pressure to decarbonize. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/april-2024/trends-and-resources/business-trends-global-chemicals-industry-outlook-for-2024/ After a challenging end to 2022, many in the chemical industry anticipated a modest rebound in production in 2023. However, by mid-2023, several chemical companies significantly lowered their expectations. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2023/11/pratt-whitney-canada-and-gulfstream-completes-first-100-saf-transatlantic-flight/ Pratt & Whitney Canada and Gulfstream Aerospace announced the successful completion of the first transatlantic flight using sustainable aviation fuel with both PW815GA engines on a Gulfstream business jet. Pratt & Whitney is an RTX business. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2023/october-2023/trends-and-resources/business-trends-converting-refineries-to-renewable-fuels-is-no-simple-switch/ Petroleum refineries around the globe are under pressure. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2023/april-2023/trends-and-resources/business-trends-optimize-pump-systems-to-save-electrical-energy/ Given the global rise in energy costs, there has never been a better time to review and assess the efficiency of pumping systems—whatever their size, complexity or sphere of operation. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2022/june-2022/trends-and-resources/industry-perspectives-ihydrocarbon-processing-si-mid-year-update-webcast-to-be-held-in-late-june/ Over the past several years, the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) has been engaged in a whirlwind of peaks and valleys. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2019/december-2019/maintenance-and-reliability/consider-installing-a-vfd-to-increase-reliability-and-savings/ The Petronor oil refinery is in the north of Spain and is part of REPSOL Group. In 2019, the facility upgraded the driver of a reformer’s draft fan from a general-purpose steam turbine and gearbox to a variable frequency drive (VFD) electric motor. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2019/september-2019/ihydrocarbon-processingi-awards/ihydrocarbon-processingi-awards/ Hydrocarbon Processing, the downstream processing sector’s leading technical publication, has announced the finalists for its third annual awards. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2019/july-2019/sustainability/electric-vehicles-are-coming-but-their-impact-will-be-evolutionary-not-revolutionary/ Alternatively fueled vehicles (AFVs) are getting plenty of press these days, but their market penetration is still a long way from critical mass. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2019/june-2019/columns/executive-viewpoint-trends-in-the-global-process-furnace-market/ Whether it is heating process fluids to achieve enough temperature in crude atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, or reaction temperatures inside furnace tubes to produce ethylene, vinyl chloride monomer, synthetic gas and continuous catalytic reformer reactors, or simple process heating (thermal fluid), process furnaces play a critical role in refineries and petrochemical complexes.
