Bolting material bolts-up the exchanger design
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers use multiple girth flange joints based on their Tubular Exchangers Manufacturers Association (TEMA) type to assemble shell and tube sides.
HP Flashback: Advancing processing technologies and refining operations: Excerpts from the 1920s
The following is a mixture of technical articles, columns and headlines published in the 1920s by <i>The Refiner and Natural Gasoline Manufacturer</i>, the forerunner to <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i>.
Impact plant performance by improving the steam system
Petrochemical plants and refineries face production and profitability challenges on multiple fronts.
Process Controls, Instrumentation and Automation: Why it is time to move on from the thermowell
Thermowells are widely used in industrial applications for measuring temperature; however, with new, high-accuracy, non-invasive alternatives available, it is time to move on from thermowells and embrace more innovative measurement techniques.
Advanced methods for controlling boiler tube corrosion and fouling—Part 2
In Part 1 of this article, the authors covered techniques for minimizing corrosion and contaminant ingress from condensate return and feedwater to industrial steam generators.
H2O2 and its hydrocarbon nitridation/oxidation to produce caprolactam and propene oxide
Traditional hydrocarbon nitridation and oxidation technologies, such as caprolactam (CPL) and propene oxide production technologies, present low atom utilization and serious environmental pollution problems.
