Distillation
Renewable diesel: The latest buzzword in the downstream sector
Renewable diesel: this greener, cleaner fuel has taken our industry by storm.
Industry Perspectives
The hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) is steadily advancing through the energy transition.
Fuels and chemicals: Finding the right refinery configuration for a less predictable world
The refining industry links the upstream production of crude oil with the end markets for fuel products, as well as for the petrochemical/chemical industry.
Optimizing for viability—VDU revamp in a brownfield project
Revamping an existing column in an operating plant for higher throughput is a challenge, especially when the column is already operating at its rated capacity.
Troubleshoot flooding problems in a crude distillation column
Crude oil is separated into more valuable products, such as naphtha, kerosene, light diesel, heavy diesel and atmospheric residue, in crude distillation units (CDUs).
Cyclic distillation: A novel enhanced technology for processing hydrocarbons and derivatives
Distillation is the most widespread separation method in history.
