Hydrogen recycle gas compressors are one of the most significant rotating equipment in oil refineries, petrochemical plants and upgraders.
Determining the required installation torque for a tight flange system is a daily challenge for industrial valve manufacturers and plant operators.
Liquid-ring compressors (FIG. 1) use the centrifugal whirling of a sealing liquid to create a series of piston-like water columns to trap gas or vapor between the impeller cells of a rotor installed eccentric to its casing.
This project is intended to make an important contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, establishing the use of low-CO2 technologies in chemical production and reducing the site’s natural gas consumption.
The function of a boiler is simple. It boils water to produce steam, which, in turn, provides energy.
Process equipment operating in a brownfield environment is often rerated pertaining to the changes in process parameters during debottlenecking.
The following is a mixture of technical articles, columns and headlines published in the 1950s by Petroleum Refiner, the forerunner to Hydrocarbon Processing.
This year, Hydrocarbon Processing is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Throughout this year, the editors are publishing excerpts from past issues.
The industry is moving away from oil shaft seals and hydraulic speed control for turbines to advanced alternatives.
