Heat Transfer
Hydrogen—what are the costs?
HPI operating facilities have many choices on how to meet their rising demand for H2; here are several options
Improve condensate recovery systems
Using these fundamental design guidelines, plant engineers can improve the operation and reliability of steam distribution systems
Reduce compressed air costs
There are many practical ways, and all use common sense
Design considerations to prevent heat exchanger failure
Tests show the importance of relief system design and location
Cooling tower fill: the neglected moneymaker
New designs improve performance and reduce costs
Eliminate air preheater corrosion
Consider these design options to improve reliability and efficiency
Consider using hydrogen plants to cogenerate power needs
Many forces are reshaping the worldwide hydrogen market; refiners have several options to receive steam and electrical power from a hydrogen plant
Refiner uses cogeneration project to revamp for high-sulfur crudes
Under a cooperative agreement with partners, a Chilean refinery installed a delayed coker and hydrotreater to improve refining flexibility, produce ?clean' fuels and receive utilities from a cogeneration unit that burns plant waste byproducts
Mitigate fouling to improve heat exchanger reliability
Different techniques and technologies help increase efficiency
Revamp fired heaters to increase capacity
