Digitalization in refineries: A strategic roadmap for operational excellence—Part 1
The refinery industry is one of the biggest industries worldwide. According to Statista, the global oil refinery capacity tipped 100 MMbpd in 2022. This capacity reflects nearly a twofold increase since 1970.
Improve specialty chemical production through digital transformation
From large petrochemical plants to smaller-scale specialty chemical operations, digital transformation is a significant technology and operational improvement trend throughout the global chemical industry.
Optimize process performance and reduce emissions by using process analyzers
Whether a refinery process involves the creation of fuels from crude oil or the production of biogas, process analysis can help to address the many challenges involved in operations.
Six reasons oil and gas organizations must implement an industrial cybersecurity program
Oil and gas companies must focus on building robust industrial cybersecurity programs to prevent and respond to the next attack.
Plastic pyrolysis oils as feedstock for steam crackers: Opportunities and challenges—Part 2
Plastic waste is a worldwide challenge. To reduce its carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) footprint, the plastics industry is striving to increase circularity by using plastic pyrolysis oils (pyoils) from waste plastics as steam cracker feedstock.
Nine steps for effective preparation of planned shutdowns—Part 2
As organizations increasingly prioritize resource optimization, performance and sustainability, executing a successful shutdown (SD) has become more challenging.
Practical examples and considerations in designing emergency depressurizing systems
Process operating facilities typically process large inventories of gas and volatile hydrocarbon liquids at high pressures, which have the potential of posing major hazards during emergency incidents—such as fire, loss of containment or operating excursion.
Alarm management: Small investments equal big improvements
Imagine experiencing a major industrial catastrophe where multitudes of alarms are triggered, creating chaos and confusion about which alarm responses should take priority and what those responses should be, while simultaneously ensuring employee safety and protecting valuable business assets.
