Sulfur
Business Trends: Sustainability: Clean fuels—The advancement to zero sulfur
In April, Hydrocarbon Processing launched the first iteration of its HP Sustainability webcast series.
Industry Perspectives: What topics do you want to hear about?
Throughout Hydrocarbon Processing’s 97 yr of publishing technical material for the refining and petrochemical industries, the journal has focused on numerous topics to optimize downstream processing facility operations.
Raman spectroscopy for the optimization of hydrogen usage in refineries
Approximately 700 refineries are in operation worldwide, producing a range of petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, liquified petroleum gas (LPG) and fuel oils.
Mitigating corrosion challenges from opportunity crudes
High-quality crudes are not always readily available, or at a price that is acceptable to the producer’s budget.
Editorial Comment: Sustainability: The latest creation in advancing ideas
Over the past few months, Hydrocarbon Processing’s editorial staff has traveled thousands of miles to attend numerous conferences, events, users’ groups, groundbreakings, etc.
Editorial Comment: Where some see roadblocks, we see opportunities
In the January issue of Hydrocarbon Processing, the editorial comment focused on the roadmap to advancing ideas.
A cost-effective approach to monitoring dangerous hydrogen sulfide gas
Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) is one of the most common hazards in the oil and gas industry.
FCC operational changes to boost gasoline octane
The fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) is one of the main units providing gasoline with high-octane numbers to the refinery gasoline pool.
Ultra-deep desulfurization of FCC gasoline: Reactive adsorption strategy
With an increase in concern for the environment, countries around the world are implementing stringent environmental regulations and are continuously pressuring refiners to reduce the amount of sulfur in transportation fuels—primarily gasoline and diesel—to combat airborne pollution caused by vehicles.
Welded plate heat exchangers cut refinery process costs—Part 1
Plate and frame (P&F) heat exchangers were first manufactured 100 yr ago for use in the dairy industry.
