What does it take to meet the clean fuels challenge?
Refiners will use more tools other than technology to process clean fuels and be profitable
Consider improved catalyst technologies to remove sulfur
With new catalyst systems, hydroprocessing efforts more efficiently reduce complex sulfur compounds and lower blended fuels’ sulfur content
First-principles distillation inference models for product quality prediction
Modeling approach involves a short-cut simulation of a column section
Revamp your hydrotreater for deep desulfurization
Retrofit projects involve defining the limits on existing equipment, understanding the costs for replacement and optimizing unit design parameters
Reliability design concepts for the future clean fuels era
The effects of storage capacity and interaction losses must be considered simultaneously with unit size
Consider online sulfur measurement for clean fuels
A new analytical method can increase process optimization and regulation compliance
Consider new technologies to replace MTBE
Processing methods enable using 'stranded' MTBE facilities and feedstocks for high-octane applications
Diagnostic alarm – to trip or not to trip
A number of requirements in the International Functional Safety Standard IEC 61508 sound as if an operating company must set up a safety instrumented system (SIS) to automatically trip the process whe..
