Why robotic process automation is quickly becoming a must for downstream companies
For the refining operation that wants to relieve its planning team of mind-numbing manual data-management tasks, there are bots for that.
History of the HPI: The 1930s: Catalytic cracking, polyethylene, synthetic fibers, resins and jet engines
The hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) has a rich history of discovery, challenges, breakthroughs, trial and error, collaboration and success. <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> continues its reflection on the history of the HPI.
Web-based software for predicting crude compatibility and optimization for increasing heavy oil processing
Refineries in oil-importing nations typically process a blend of crude oils, rather than a single crude oil, to ensure that an optimum product mix can be obtained at the minimum costs.
Editorial Comment: Adoption of digital technologies is a mainstay in the HPI
A few years ago, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> started to include digital technologies in its monthly article focus.
Industry Perspectives: Capital investments/major trends affecting the global HPI
In late January, Tyler Campbell, Associate Editor, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i>, <i>Gas Processing & LNG</i>, and <i>H2Tech</i>, presented an update on the global capital construction landscape at the Engineering and Construction Contracting (ECC) Extra Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana (U.S.).
Executive Viewpoint: Decarbonizing ethylene production
<i>Hydrocarbon Processing (HP)</i> sat down with Stan Knez (SK), Chief Technology Officer, Technip Energies, to get his insights on decarbonization, digital and process technologies and sustainability within the processing industries.
Impact of biofeed retrofits, coprocessing on refinery amine units, SWSs and SRUs—Part 1
Diesel with a portion of biologically sourced carbon is being produced at an increasing number of conventional crude oil refineries.
Tips to avoid pitfalls in CO2 capture projects
In recent years, growing concern about increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<sub/>) levels has put mounting pressure on governments and on processing industries to curb carbon emissions.
Key considerations for the design and operation of a renewable diesel unit
Designs for the process configuration and operation of the unit are fundamental aspects in the production of renewable diesel.
