Getting more productivity from your digital operations program is complex but the way forward is clearer than ever. Use this playbook to get new ideas, discover best practices, and learn how other operators are unlocking value faster across their data & AI journey.

In this whitepaper, Johannes Poth, Fired Heater Efficiency Subject Matter Expert at Integrated Global Services (IGS) discusses the most common causes of refractory failure, how to inspect fired heaters or furnaces for damage, and the methods of repairing refractories online without the need to disrupt normal operation.

As compared to the traditional filmwise process, the next generation of condensation has arrived for the petrochemical facilities. Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology is dosed continuously into the steam line in front of the target heat exchanger to create a water-repellent film on the heat transfer surfaces. This technology can improve productivity and reliability while reducing steam consumption. The increased heat transfer efficiency ensures plants meet operational and sustainability goals.

This White Paper proposes various strategies to reduce the environmental impact of BTX (benzene, toluene, and xylenes) production in aromatics complexes. These strategies include optimizing molecule management, improving energy efficiency, using high-performance catalysts and adsorbents, implementing advanced process control and digitalization, and exploring options like carbon capture and storage, bio-based feedstocks, and plastic recycling. These measures aim to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, solid waste generation, and reliance on fossil fuels, ultimately working towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
