Process safety: Protecting LNG processes
At roughly 50 yr old, the liquified natural gas (LNG) industry is a relatively new part of the global energy market.
Take the anxiety out of plant turnarounds
The months leading into an impending turnaround (TAR) have never been an easy time for operations and maintenance personnel.
Process control in the process industry
In this age of automation, process control in the process industries is essential.
Calculate realistic control valve pressure drop by rules-of-thumb method
Pressure drop is defined as the difference in pressure between two points of a fluid-carrying network.
C3, splitter revamp case study emphasizes importance of balancing in four-pass trays to achieve separation efficiency and capacity
The C<sub>3</sub> splitter in an olefins plant is one of the most important and critical pieces of equipment: it separates polymer-grade propylene from propane.
Added benefits of control-valve environmental packing
Packing selection used to be a straightforward task that played a small part in a valve specification process that was much more involved.
Innovations
Rockwell Automation has reinforced new capabilities in emulation and support with its first expansion of FactoryTalk® Logix Echo.
Innovations
For organizations to secure their operations and reduce cyber threats, a successful cybersecurity strategy requires solutions to secure endpoints—any device that is connected to a network outside of its firewall, including laptops, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), switches, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and more.
Real-time monitoring of creep damage for fired equipment tubes, employing advanced web platforms
Within the petrochemical industry, fired heater tubes and boilers experience high tube metal temperatures (TMTs) for extended periods of time.
Variable-speed pumps and minimum flow control valves: Design and implementation
Within hydrocarbon storage terminals, product pumps are the most vital rotating equipment for terminal operations and maintenance.
