Performing proactive, preventive coatings maintenance is the best approach for keeping assets used in oil and gas facilities up and running. That means addressing noticeable coatings issues before they progress and scheduling inspections and restorations based on preplanned intervals. Doing so allows facilities to maintain appropriate corrosion protection that will help them extend asset lives and safeguard their bottom lines.

Overview Gas sweetening processes using amine solvents are often challenged to meet productivity and reliability targets due to the impact of solid and liquid contamination. Some commonly seen issues are foaming, fouling and corrosion which lead to production loss from unscheduled downtime, reduced flowrate capability, regeneration issues, and increased maintenance labor and equipment costs.

When evaluating a CEMS solutions, your tendency might be to focus on the initial cost rather that key factors that may significantly influence the total cost of ownership over time. To help with this, ABB has produced this educational and informative guide to evaluating and purchasing your CEMS solution. Download this guide from requirement to solution for your Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) needs. You will find relevant insights and experiences from industry experts along with recommendations for each of the major considerations relating to the selection and purchasing of a CEMS solution.

The Crude-to-Chemicals project is designed for world-scale petrochemicals production to deliver a flexible, bankable, and sustainable free-market investment. Through strong cooperation with the customer, Honeywell UOP has developed a configuration that enables 100% net olefins derived products². The Molecular Management Solution, also called the Integrated Olefin Suite (IOS), leverages commercially demonstrated and proven UOP technologies deployed in a way to optimize the Steam Cracker yields and margin cost-effectively to produce this bankable solution.

Electrification is accelerating across all economic sectors as the world increases demand for resources, energy and sustainability. The shift from fossil-based systems to electric will drive change within the existing power infrastructure and beyond with new microgrids and self-generation at industrial sites. 

In the battle against corrosion under insulation (CUI), most coatings come up short. The moisture, heat and contaminants that get trapped within insulation installed on pipes, valves, tanks and other assets create an environment that’s ripe for coating film loss and corrosion. The key to success is to mitigate the effects of CUI for as long as possible to help assets realize long service lives and owners keep costs in check.

The shift to decarbonization is on. Owners and EPCs must address short-term energy demands while simultaneously positioning themselves for the long-term energy transition projects that are gaining traction. Download this whitepaper to learn how energy leaders are implementing digital tactics to resolve the challenges revealed by the findings of a recent survey.

The intermittency of renewable power sources and potential fluctuation of the hydrogen off taking are quickly becoming topical challenges for industrial sectors pursuing renewable hydrogen and its derivatives. NextChem (Maire Tecnimont Group) is addressing these challenges with two software tools developed in-house, ArcHy (Hydrogen plant Architecture Evaluation) and HyPer (Hydrogen plant Performance Simulator). The simulation tool is intended to evaluate the energy performance of a hydrogen plant, with a focus on the production, storage, and utilization of hydrogen.
