Achieve excellence and sustainability in your next turnaround
To consistently achieve pacesetter results on plant shutdowns and turnarounds, it is imperative that companies have a systematic turnaround management process (TMP).
UOP to supply technology, equipment for Pakistan Refinery clean fuels
In addition to licensing and modular equipment, UOP will provide catalyst, adsorbent, engineering, technical support and a drier regeneration control system for extended catalyst life for PRL’s Penex unit, which will process 5,000 bpd of light naphtha. The unit is expected to start up by mid-2015.
CompactGTL to build Kazakhstan commercial plant
In furtherance of the agreement with the Kazakhstan government, CompactGTL intends to build the world’s first commercially deployed small-scale gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in Kazakhstan.
Kuwait taps Foster Wheeler for engineering design on new LNG terminal
The new terminal will have a design send-out capacity of approximately 1,500 million standard cubic feet per day of gas, with four full-containment LNG storage tanks, each of 180,000 cubic meters.
KBC to expand Middle East, North Africa process technology business
KBC has assisted major oil companies for many decades through its expert consultants and process simulation software, and is now undertaking a "major growth program" to expand the business.
Continuous corrosion monitoring enhances operational decisions
Operators with permanently-installed continuous corrosion monitoring systems have better understanding of the corrosion and erosion rates occurring within their facility.
Reduce moisture intrusion in pipes, tanks and other equipment
Once water enters the system, even at high temperatures, the insulation system can retain large quantities of water. That can then lead to accelerated heat gain or loss.
Consider new steam system corrosion protection for refineries
New technology in volatile filming corrosion inhibitors and lower-salting neutralizing amines can provide cost-effective solutions for the steam-condensate system and minimize the risk of amine chloride salt formation.
Consider automation to check shell-and-tube heat exchanger design
This automated checklist tool can be used to quickly check the acceptability of your design configuration based on the various project, client and services requirements.
