HFC detection using optical gas imaging increases safety/efficiency while reducing emissions
The use of optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras has benefited the oil and gas industry greatly by improving worker safety and plant efficiency while reducing emissions; however, the technology has yet to gain a similar foothold in the petrochemical industry, despite offering similar advantages.
The importance of operational readiness
Over the last 20 yr–30 yr, manufacturing facilities and project teams have spent significant time and money developing tools to navigate the issues of designing, procuring and building projects.
How digital is essential for carbon capture at scale
Energy and chemical companies around the globe obtain value from digitalization across all stages of the asset lifecycle, from design to operations.
The challenges in carbon capture, utilization and storage deployment
Global demand for crude oil, natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels is continuously increasing in various industries and petrochemical plants.
Control reciprocating compressor pressure pulsations to ensure long-term operational reliability
Reciprocating compressors receive and deliver gas in discrete slugs (or pulses) as the pistons move back and forth.
Select the appropriate construction materials for valves and accessories
In refineries and petrochemical plants, valves and related components often come into contact with process media.
The process control journey: Primary process control—Part 1
When addressing process controls, the immediate interest is to invest in advanced process control (APC) technology without knowing the performance and stability of complex wide primary (PID) control.
Understanding and applying radiometric level and density profiling
There are several reasons to quantify and qualify the material properties of liquids in vessels and pipes.
Case study: Gas turbine generator fleet optimization
Cost reduction has always been an important focus for industrial plants to improve their bottom lines.
Take the anxiety out of plant turnarounds
The months leading into an impending turnaround (TAR) have never been an easy time for operations and maintenance personnel.
