Over the past several years, the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) has been engaged in a whirlwind of peaks and valleys.
The hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) is filled with unique and innovative people that stive to provide technologies, processes and services to better the industry in which they work.
Maintenance, optimization, safety and digital technologies
The 1970s were marked by several historical events that affected not only the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) but nations around the world.
Petrochemicals rise in prominence and new know-how in refining processes
During the 1960s, the global refining and petrochemical industries witnessed new processes and products that enhanced the daily lives of millions of people around the world.
In January 2021, Gulf Energy Information—publisher of Hydrocarbon Processing and Gas Processing & LNG—launched H2Tech. This technical publication focuses on the latest technologies, trends, capital investments and know-how that are shaping the global hydrogen market.
Among the dominant, far-reaching themes within the global refining and petrochemicals industries are the increase in biofeedstocks processing to produce biofuels and greener petrochemicals, the continued push towards clean fuels production, regulations and initiatives to adhere to net-zero emissions targets, and a surge in capital investments to build renewables and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) plants.
The following is a mixture of technical articles, columns and headlines published in the 1950s by Petroleum Refiner, the forerunner to Hydrocarbon Processing.
The 1950s marked an evolution in the use of oil by nations around the world.
