Bearings are at the heart of all rotating equipment, yet they are often an afterthought. Neglected until the “heart” stops beating and the equipment is forced to shut down. This white paper puts bearings first. More specifically, it goes into detail about the history of bearing life calculations and the best practices by today’s standards with reference to ISO 281:2007. It concludes with bearing protection devices and the critical role they play in extending bearing life.

GT-LPG MAX℠ was developed by Sulzer GTC Technology using dividing wall column (DWC) technology to optimize overall operation and enhance C3+ recovery. A DWC can separate a multi-component feed into three or more streams within a single column. The deethanizer and depropanizer columns in a traditional LPG recovery system are replaced with one column using a dividing wall to achieve as high or higher C3+ recovery as a conventional design. As a result, both capital investment and operating costs for grassroots and revamped applications are reduce.

Struggling to balance inspection costs, meeting regulatory requirements, and improve reliability? These three priorities are not mutually exclusive and always compete. This whitepapers discusses how technology with embed best practices and methodologies can be applied to achieve and sustain operational excellence in your mechanical integrity program.

This report, written by Dr. Carole Nakhle, CEO of Crystol Energy, discusses the findings of a survey assessing the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the global energy industry. The survey, a collaboration between Crystol Energy and AspenTech, was completed in November 2020. Download this comprehensive and informative report to learn more about the survey's key findings.

Industries such as cement, steel, petrochemicals, and energy from waste are critical foundations of the global economy—yet they are also emitters of carbon. Download 'Achieving Net Zero in the Industrial Sector' as Carbon Clean discusses why hard to abate industries are crucial partners in reaching net zero, how advances in carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology make it more cost-effective than ever, how industries can calculate the cost of reducing their carbon emissions and more. Learn how heavy industry can benefit from carbon reduction incentives and shift to a more sustainable future.

According to McKinsey, EPCs have an opportunity to double their profitability by embracing a handful of “emerging disruptors.” One of these disruptors, digitalization of processes, is within reach of most EPCs and aligns with efforts and initiatives already underway.

Total EP, consistently ranked amongst the top 10 integrated operators globally, from 2006 to 2010 had several gas turbine break downs and compressor failures. Post-incidents analysis revealed that 50% of the failures could have been avoided had monitoring been in place. In 2013, the Remote Assistance, Intervention and Diagnosis Center (RAID) was launched with GE Digital’s SmartSignal product as the software determined to support the center’s monitoring activities. Since the inception of the RAID center, Total's ability to proactively anticipate problems, has resulted in zero breakdowns across all monitored assets.
