Separate fine solid particles from dusty air with a uniflow cyclone
Fine particles are usually collected by dry collectors, wet collectors, electrostatic precipitators and filters, at the commercial level.
Understand net gas compressor control logic from a process engineering standpoint
In a refinery or petrochemical plant, certain equipment can create “gray areas” between process engineers and instrument engineers.
Improve refinery production and efficiency with asset monitoring
The sheer volume of equipment in a refinery—from vessels, columns, huge structures and mazes of pipes to pumps, valves, controllers and instruments—is staggering.
