With compressor downtime, high feed rates and downstream issues, the price might be higher than you think. The hydrogen compressor lubricant you choose directly impacts your bottom line. Download our white paper to learn the three things you must consider when selecting the right lubricant for your compressor.

Hydrocarbon processing plants often focus on purchasing a GC that can handle the gas analysis application at the best price and only consider the cost of the GC. This approach ignores significant expenses required for the installation and operation of the GC. Learn about the hidden costs in GC installations and steps you can take to avoid them.

Find out how GT-BTX PluS^® technology helps produce low-sulfur gasoline from catalytically cracked naphtha without a significant loss in octane value.  The extractive distillation technology segregates olefins from sulfur and aromatics, which can be directly blended in gasoline, thus eliminating the octane loss of traditional, selective HDS units.  GT-BTX PluS^® is a variation of GT-BTX^®, a proven extractive distillation technology that simultaneously removes benzene, toluene, xylenes and thiophenic sulfur species from aromatic-containing cracked naphtha.  Alternatively, the segregated aromatics can be sent for paraxylene production without the need to go through a naphtha reformer.

This paper discusses the three primary specifications for producing diesel in cold climates: cloud point; low filter plugging point; and pour point, and the options for achieving desirable specifications. Traditional options, as well as ExxonMobil's isomerization dewaxing technology, are explored for increasing production of ULSD.

CSI's ICOn™ degassing system helps overcome the challenges and risks of having high levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the elemental sulfur produced in the Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU). You will learn more about the development of this technology and how it is operating successfully in a large refinery, today.

With increased competition and growing fuel demand, refiners need to utilize assets to the fullest capacity to maximize profits. Profitability improvements can come from reducing feed costs, increasing product value, and increasing on-stream time. This paper explores ways refiners can utilize existing assets to reach these objectives through revamp of hydroprocessing units.

As the energy industry searches for ways to thrive amid volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) market conditions, many are turning to Industry 4.0 technologies and AI capabilities to gain a competitive edge. While we have long heard about the promises of autonomous operations and self-optimizing systems, they have only been partially realized in the past with closed-loop control and optimization. Now, the enabling technologies are real and accessible. Download this paper to learn how tomorrow’s leaders will create the smart enterprise of the future — and achieve operational excellence that is sustainable regardless of market conditions.

Not only does broken machinery pose a risk to employees’ safety, it leads to costly downtime and repairs that can set you back. Implementing an advanced condition monitoring program helps save money and improve productivity to make your facility safer and more profitable.

In our latest whitepaper, The Case for Condition Monitoring with the Bently Nevada ADAPT Instrument Family, we examine the benefits of the ADAPT system for the longevity of your assets and condition monitoring approaches such as:

• Manual
• On-line continuous
• And on-line scanning
