Refining
Selecting the right gas analyzer to optimize monitoring of NOx and other emissions
Combustion processes of all types generate emissions of one kind or another.
Global Project Data
<i>Hydrocarbon Processing’s</i> Construction Boxscore Database is tracking nearly 1,600 projects around the world.
Industry Metrics
Refinery margins came under added pressure, affected by the downturn in product consumption inflicted by COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
Business Trends
Rovuma LNG, a JV comprised of ExxonMobil, Eni and China National Petroleum Corp., will likely delay its final investment decision (FID) on the group’s $30-B Mozambique LNG project.
Causes of reduced or stopped flow in controlled-volume pumps
Controlled-volume (CV) pumps, also known as metering or dosing pumps, are designed to deliver a small quantity of fluid at a precise rate with relatively high pressure.
Doing more with less: Extending critical fluid system resources
Fluid system operators are tasked with maximizing value from their systems to enhance plant and refinery operations.
Flow modeling as a tool for WHRU performance optimization
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have become a growing concern for many industrialized countries over the past few years.
Use CFD modeling to improve burner design and operation
Process heaters are essential pieces of equipment in the refining and petrochemical industry that are used to heat hydrocarbons to a desired temperature.
Rapid crude yield: Merging DHAFE with HTSD
Rapid crude yield (RCY) combines a detailed hydrocarbon analysis of the front end (DHAFE) with high-temperature simulated distillation (HTSD), creating a true boiling point (TBP) curve for a crude oil sample.
Alternatives to ladders and platforms for inspection and maintenance of elevated flare tips
Flare systems are used in refineries and chemical plants as a last line of defense for the plant by burning all unwanted gases and liquid during any upset or emergency condition.
