Digital Exclusive: Optimize plant design in the hydrocarbon processing industry with advanced CAD tools
Hydrocarbon processing transforms crude oil and natural gas into valuable products such as petrochemicals and fuels. These transformations occur in hydrocarbon processing plants popularly known as refineries, which comprise different processing systems that must work together to ensure efficiency and safety. These systems include electrical, air, cooling, compression and flaring, just to name a few. System components must be installed so they maximize efficiency without hindering production. This article will explore the evolution of computer-aided design (CAD) technology, its advantages and uses throughout the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI).
Marathon to begin planned maintenance at Robinson, Illinois refinery
The refinery's primary crude unit, which processes both sweet and sour crude, will be down for maintenance, including heat exchanger work. The plant's 85,000-bpd diesel hydrotreater unit, 65,000-bpd vacuum distillation unit and 28,000-bpd hydrocracker unit will also undergo turnaround.
