Maximize value and successfully revamp a fired heater
Fired heaters are facing scrutiny because they contribute to the global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and nitrogen oxides (NO<sub>x</sub>).
Sustainability through efficiency: A plan for the refining industry
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions will decrease through 2050 in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD), which includes the U.S.<sup>1</sup>
Shrinking the carbon footprint: A digital transformation roadmap for green fuel producers
From ethanol and renewable diesel to biofuels and gas-to-liquids, the world is moving toward low-carbon energy sources to mitigate climate change and boost energy security.
Process Controls, Instrumentation and Automation: Improved methods for trace element analysis of challenging petrochemical samples
There is no doubt that the purpose of refining crude oils into natural raw materials is crucial to produce a vast array of fuels and products used in our daily lives.
Aging pressure relief valves: Are you managing history well?
The risks associated with the malfunction or blockage of pressure safety valves (PSVs) are significant, and operating facilities invest heavily in preventive maintenance (PM) programs to mitigate the risks and ensure that PSVs are functioning exactly as per design requirements.
Assessment of independent protection layers in an LOPA study—Part 2
Industrial facilities, especially those operating in the chemical, oil and gas and petroleum industries, contain inherent risks in operations due to the processing of materials that are hazardous in nature.
