Singapore Refining picks JGC to develop gasoline clean fuels projects
Singapore Refining Co., jointly owned by Singapore Petroleum Company and Chevron, has chosen JGC Corp. to carry out the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work for the construction of a gasoline clean fuels facility and a cogeneration plant at SRC's refinery in Jurong.
Case history: Characterization of shale oils and heat exchanger performance
LTOs are paraffinic, low in asphaltenes but high in filterable solids. Understanding the impact of these mechanisms can shed light on preheat exchanger performance and the prediction of fouling rates.
Optimize hydrogen plant efficiency with new MTS catalysts
To study the impact on plant efficiency of using MTS catalysts, a comparison case study was held between the HTS-based and MTS-based H2 designs currently in operation.
Russian refiners use oxygenates to preserve octane
A case study was conducted regarding the physical and chemical properties of key gasoline oxygenates, such as methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME) and other blending components.
Improve the isomerization of alkanes by catalytic distillation
The isomerization of light gasoline fractions is crucial to producing high-octane fuels and to reducing the benzene content in gasoline. One of the most promising options for isomerization is catalytic distillation.
A biofuels roadmap for Europe to 2030
What will the transport sector use as an energy source in 2030? If you answered gas, electricity or hydrogen, you could be on the right track. These sources are becoming increasingly useful to meet cl..
Project management: Construction of modern-day hydrogen capacity in the Middle East
Refining heavier and high-sulfur crude oils consumes high volumes of hydrogen (H2). Most refineries have exhausted process-based H2 supplies and must use on-purpose sources. This article follows the d..
