Many cases have been documented in which makeup system upsets have led to boiler tube failures that partially or completely shut down unit processes. The three parts of this article (August, September and October 2024) serve as a guide for those employees who may be on a steep learning curve when it comes to makeup system understanding.  http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/september-2024/water-management/zero-liquid-discharge-a-stepping-stone-to-water-sustainability-part-2/ This article will evaluate zero-liquid discharge technologies and the preliminary treatment, disposal or further treatment for a preliminary treated system.   http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/may-2024/heat-transfer/integrated-column-reboiler-system-stress-and-flexibility-analysis-approach/ In oil refineries and chemical plants, chemical reactions and separations take place in the distillation column. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/april-2024/process-optimization/optimization-for-the-trigeneration-of-industrial-waste/ Many corporations are moving toward sustainable operations for their processes. One alternative pathway to reduce fossil fuels consumption in a processing plant is through harvesting waste heat from industrial waste through combined heat and power (CHP), or what is commonly known as cogeneration or polygeneration. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/february-2024/environment-and-safety/advanced-analytics-solutions-propel-decarbonization-and-sustainability-initiatives/ Industrial process manufacturers and refiners are facing a storm of disruptive challenges. First and foremost, calls to mitigate climate change have taken a central position and must be prioritized, driving the decarbonization efforts of industrial and manufacturing processes. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/january-2024/heat-transfer/convection-section-cleaning-approach-achieves-results-at-refineries-worldwide/ Inefficient heat transfer in the convection section of a process heater is readily evident by an increase in stack temperature beyond design parameters. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2023/11/satorp-completes-mena-region-s-first-conversion-of-used-cooking-oil-into-isccplus-certified-saf/ SATORP, platform jointly owned by Aramco and TotalEnergies, has for the first time in the region successfully converted used cooking oil through coprocessing into ISCC+ certified SAF. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2023/09/shipping-industry-lacks-clarity-on-future-clean-fuels-on-path-towards-decarbonization/ The shipping industry lacks clarity on future clean fuels and regulatory systems which is holding back companies from replacing ageing vessels amid pressure to decarbonize faster. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2023/05/saudi-diesel-imports-from-russia-exports-to-singapore-hit-records/ Leading crude exporter Saudi Arabia is maximizing refining profits by importing unprecedented amounts of cheap Russian diesel and in turn shipping record volumes to Singapore, where the fuel can achieve higher margins, shiptracking data shows. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2022/october-2022/emhydrocarbon-processingem-awards-2022/2022-emhpem-awards-finalists/ Hydrocarbon Processing, the downstream processing sector’s leading technical publication for 100 yr, has announced the finalists for its sixth annual HP Awards, which celebrate innovative technologies and people that have been instrumental in improving facility operations over the past year.
