Implement innovative corrosion management solutions for biofuel refining—Part 1
The production of carbon-neutral and renewable transportation fuels is growing rapidly, driven by the need to find feedstocks beyond fossil resources.
A simplified dynamic approach for storage tank thermal inbreathing rates
Storage tanks that experience sudden heavy rain on what was a hot sunny day can be damaged due to inadequate venting devices.
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.
Wastewater reuse potential for heavy industry
As fresh water sources diminish in some areas of the U.S. and around the world, water conservation is becoming increasingly important.
VOC reduction at Raffineria di Milazzo’s SRU complex—Part 2
Based on new environmental regulations focusing on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the emissions point of a refinery’s sulfur recovery unit (SRU), Raffineria di Milazzo—a JV between Eni and Kuwait Petroleum Italia—carried out troubleshooting activities to identify and implement suitable actions to minimize the concentration of VOCs at the emissions point of the SRU complex.
Automation: Overhead automation and analytics lead to improved optimization of production and reliability
The efficient operation of crude oil distillation units (CDUs) improves profits and distillate yield while optimizing production costs and reliability.

Insulation systems in hydrocarbon processing facilities are integral to the effective thermal performance of process pipes and vessels. While insulation plays an important role in process control, energy efficiency, noise reduction and passive fire production, it is important to consider how an insulating system stands up to a persistent threat in hydrocarbon processing facilities – corrosion under insulation.
Development of novel epoxy closed-cell foam for personnel and corrosion protection—Part 2
Most industrial assets operating at elevated temperatures require thermal insulation for energy conservation, thermal protection or process stabilization.
