Maintenance keeps refineries and petrochemical plants healthy
The maintenance of industrial chemical plants is essential to protect and restore equipment, circuits and systems to enhance their function and provide efficient operations.
Pellet handling system for polyolefin plants: Are you specifying it correctly?
Product pellets produced in polyolefin plants—such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP)—require transportation from the unit to the end users that process these pellets to manufacture different end-use plastic products.
Innovative approach to accelerating the startup of a gasoline block and associated units at Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery complex
This article elaborates on the startup of a refinery’s heavy naphtha reforming unit with an alternative approach to the initial unit design, including an evaluation of several startup techniques to ensure the adequacy and practicality of the selected option.
Understanding chiller basics and P-H diagrams
Chillers are extensively used in industrial, manufacturing and commercial facilities.
Take the mystery out of running your LNG plant
Many natural gas liquefaction plants with production capacities ranging from 0.5 MMtpy to 8 MMtpy use mixed refrigerants to cool and liquefy the feed.
Energy comparison for heat pump and bottom flashing schemes for C3 hydrocarbon system
Propane-propylene splitters are present in significant numbers across petrochemical complex units, such as ethylene crackers and propane dehydrogenation units.
Beyond sequestration: Changing CO2 from a problem to a solution—Part 1: CO2 as a refrigerant
As the world continues along its energy transition trajectory, demand for blue hydrogen and reduced carbon emissions will make high-purity carbon dioxide streams available in many process plants.
Control reciprocating compressor pressure pulsations to ensure long-term operational reliability
Reciprocating compressors receive and deliver gas in discrete slugs (or pulses) as the pistons move back and forth.
Process safety: Protecting LNG processes
At roughly 50 yr old, the liquified natural gas (LNG) industry is a relatively new part of the global energy market.
