Equipment
A brief guide to fire zone analysis
Every process plant has a dedicated disposal system to ensure that gases from equipment, instruments and pressure safety valves are flared to follow environmental norms for the gases vented to the atmosphere from the flare stack.
No excuse for cutting corners on monitoring corrosion
Corrosion is a major challenge and risk to contain for any oil and gas operator.
How APM in LNG operations can lower TCO and boost ROI
As the world’s hydrocarbon appetite continues its rapid turn toward lighter fare (e.g., natural gas for power generation, transportation and industry), massive, near-term investments in global, capital-intensive, fully digitalized LNG infrastructure are needed.
