HP Automation Safety: Let the numbers answer the question
Many companies in the hydrocarbon processing industry are working to understand and implement the new functional safety standards. I am not sure why there is so much interest, but many say they are lo..
Avoid retrofit pitfalls through improved FEED
Incomplete front-end engineering efforts can be costly oversights and contribute to project overruns and missed goals
Case history: Fawley FCCU olefins project
Careful planning enabled the delivery, construction and installation of a replacement 860-ton reactor within a 64-day turnaround
Review fundamentals when retrofitting for ULSD
The success of revamps is driven by accurate front-end process design. Performing feasibility studies controls cost estimates and ensures meeting goals for upgrades
Case history: Desulfurization of FCC naphtha
This refiner used pilot-plant testing of actual refinery FCC streams to find the best technology for blending 10-ppm gasoline
Apply new strategies for your clean fuels programs
Credits and allotments for early compliance with low-sulfur fuels can be effective business tools
Apply online analyzers to monitor 'sulfur-free' fuel
New x-ray fluorescence methods enable real-time detection of low sulfur concentration in hydrocarbons
Plan for success with your clean fuels program
Producing low-sulfur transportation fuels involves more than selecting process options. Here are other vital key issues to consider
Consider integrating refining and petrochemical operations
Converting low-value gas oil streams via hydrocracking yields high-value olefins feedstocks
