Refining
Measure and predict torsional vibration in rotating equipment
Excessive torsional vibration in rotating equipment trains can result in damage to, or failure of, equipment, leading to emergency shutdowns and costly downtime.
Drive IIoT success with advanced analytics
Refineries, petrochemical and other process plants face similar challenges in daily operations, as each facility must mitigate risk, anticipate maintenance, optimize operations and minimize operational expenses.
An evolving approach to digitalization
Much has been written in recent years about the need for refineries to embrace the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Adapting and prospering in the energy transition
The energy transition is gathering momentum as pressure from society leads policy makers and investors to demand faster and deeper cuts to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from all industrial sectors.
The greening of the downstream industry: A carbon investment case for clean refining
<i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> was pleased to speak recently with Mark Fonda, Executive Vice President, Engineering and Chief Technical Officer for Meridian Energy Group, which is building two grassroots refineries in the US.
Electric vehicles are coming, but their impact will be evolutionary, not revolutionary
Alternatively fueled vehicles (AFVs) are getting plenty of press these days, but their market penetration is still a long way from critical mass.
FCC metal trap additives to process more residue
Most refiners frequently need metal trapping or bottoms cracking additives for residue operations.
Next-generation catalyst improves reliability of LPG mercaptan extraction
For decades, sulfur reduction processes have been an integral part of refinery operations.
To reduce security vulnerabilities in downstream facilities, try unikernels
Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, oil and gas facilities have joined financial, government, hospitality and other companies as tempting targets for cybercriminals.
Advanced crude management by NIR spectroscopy combined with topology modeling
Crude characterization is critical for refinery optimization.
