Hydrocarbon Processing 2021 Awards FINALISTS
<i>Hydrocarbon Processing</I>, the downstream processing sector’s leading technical publication for nearly 100 yr, has announced the finalists for its fifth annual <i>HP</i> Awards, which celebrate innovative technologies and people that have been instrumental in improving facility operations over the past year.
Cybersecurity: How HPI companies can protect against ransomware and other cyber threats
Ransomware has become an epidemic, and critical infrastructure is in the crosshairs.
Digital: Hybrid modeling: Unlocking the value of data for oil industry assets
We live in a world increasingly driven by data scenarios for advanced analytics, predictive modeling and machine learning (ML), but how reliable is this for large oil and gas assets where safety and reliability are of paramount importance?
Business Trends: How to achieve industrial autonomy in the refining and petrochemical industries
The process industries are moving from automated to autonomous operations.
Redundant control pilot valve system adds reliability in downstream operation
In downstream processing facilities, such as refineries and chemical plants, downtime is a significant source of lost revenue.
Air-to-air pneumatic booster fail-safe system for valves
In pneumatic valve automation systems, it is common to hear the following terms for valve positions: “fail open (FO),” “fail close (FC)” and “fail last (FL)”.
Materials management: Data-centric execution to enhance organizational productivity—Part 1
As a veteran of many capital projects once observed, “All projects execute materials management—those that do so without a plan and the appropriate resources just do it very poorly.”
Monitoring hydrogen plant performance—Part 1
Process monitoring is an indispensable practice to keep track of key performance indicators (KPIs) of the hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) plant.
Industry Perspectives
On October 28, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> will announce the winners of the 2021 <i>HP</> Awards during a virtual streaming event.
Improve kerosene mercaptan sweetening with fluoropolymer-cartridge liquid-liquid coalescers
Many refineries are experiencing new problems related to the formation of stable emulsions and poor separation due to the increased use of lower-cost opportunity crude oils that have a high total acid number (TAN), higher gravities and more sulfur content.
