Corrosion: Maintaining profitability with opportunity crudes while mitigating naphthenic acid corrosion

Emerson Automation Solutions: Gajdacsi, A.

Refiners are asked to produce products within ever tighter margins in a changing industry.

Process Controls, Instrumentation and Automation: Improved methods for trace element analysis of challenging petrochemical samples

Thermo Fisher Scientific: Kutscher, D.

There is no doubt that the purpose of refining crude oils into natural raw materials is crucial to produce a vast array of fuels and products used in our daily lives.

Reliability: Disregarding storage preservation has consequences

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Bloch, Heinz P.

As a rule, equipment to be installed at a plant site initially arrives at an outdoor storage yard.

How one analyzer technology can improve a semi-regenerative catalytic reforming process

Endress+Hauser: Garza, A.

Going back to the earliest days of the industry, oil refiners have found that breaking down crude oil into marketable fractions does not always result in high volumes of the most profitable products.

Safety and environmental benefits of reliability engineering

T. A. Cook: Troyer, D.  |  O'Malley, C.

When you boil down the mission of reliability to its bare essence, the job is to deliver maximum operational availability for the least amount of money over the lifecycle of the asset.

Consequence modeling and risk analysis for safeguarding against jet fires

Fluor: Jadeja, S.  |  Haris, N.  |  Selirio, A.

Due to their high momentum and erosive nature, sustained jet fires are one of the most hazardous types of fires that can threaten the integrity of process facilities.

Using ANN modeling to predict the melt flow index in real time

Reliance Industries Ltd.: Chakrabarti, N. C.  |  R. Sinha

Controlling polymer quality during manufacturing is a significant challenge due to the cost, maintenance and reliability of online measurements of final product quality.
