Optimizing the dehydration process with advanced process simulation
In the operation of natural gas pipelines, a blockage or leak can cause expensive production losses, damage equipment and pose safety hazards.
Heavy crude oil processing design and reliability
Revamping refineries to process heavier crude slates goes well beyond the requirements to meet equipment performance dictated by a shift in the quantity of lighter product yields to heavier products.
Improve removal of phenolic and amine compounds in a sour water stripper
Joint stripping in a refinery sour water stripper (SWS) unit contributes to the concentration of phenols and total nitrogen (N) in the discharged treated water from the wastewater treatment unit.
Viewpoint: Advanced H2O systems and the drive for efficiency
For both upstream and downstream operations, H2O is a critical resource in the oil and gas industry.
Dividing wall column applications in FCC naphtha splitter columns
