Prevent corrosion failures at each stage of design, construction and normal operation
Each year, significant economic losses due to corrosion failures occur in the refining and petrochemical industries; unfortunately, many of these losses could have been prevented.
Hydroprocessing catalyst selection—Part 2: Considerations and best practices for catalyst testing
Hydroprocessing catalysts are an essential part of the refinery involved in the treatment/conversion of most petroleum fractions, ranging from naphtha to residue.
Xylene-loop scheme for minimized GHG emissions and PX production cost
Molecular management, energy efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions have become major focuses for petrochemical complexes, including aromatics plants.
