Business Trends: Rejuvenating the contract “spine” of megaprojects—Part 1
Business executives and project managers are grappling with challenging business environments and a 20-yr legacy of failing megaprojects.
Digital: Operational excellence index—Part 2: The digital transformation
Without a doubt, digitalization is the engine fueling the growing adoption of operational excellence (OE) in hazardous industries.
Viewpoint: Digitalization is key to increasing the process industry’s productivity
Consumers are continuously looking for healthier, safer and more environmentally sustainable products.
Preventing wire wooling journal bearing failure
This work details the operation of a 21,000-HP, five-stage barrel pump utilized for seawater injection service.
Dynamic simulation of integrated syngas, O2 and steam networks for a gasification complex—Part 2
Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) operates the world’s largest refinery complex, with a combined crude processing capacity of 1.24 MMbpd that is split between two refineries: a Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) refinery and a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) refinery in Jamnagar, India.
Combating normalization of deviance within your organization
NASA’s 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster investigation brought the term “normalization of deviance” into the spotlight.
How the “LLF” condition monitoring technique can improve manufactured product profitability
Technological advances have allowed predictive maintenance (i.e., condition-based maintenance) to overtake preventive maintenance in plant operations. “Look, listen and feel (LLF)” is a condition monitoring technique that improves the reliability of equipment and machinery in manifolds.
Metallurgy solution to prevent polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking in hydroprocessing
Hydrotreating is a staple process found in nearly every refinery. The process removes undesirable feed contaminants, such as sulfur, nitrogen and metals, and saturates olefins and/or aromatics to produce high-quality products.
