As a blend of the award-winning DReeM Polymer™, DReeM™ BL Plus has the same unique polymer chemistry to maximize heat transfer and, should it be needed, remove scale in boilers. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/03/nippon-steel-obtains-new-certifications-for-pipestubes-used-in-the-chemical-industry/ To meet its customers’ need to promote carbon neutrality, Nippon Steel Corporation has obtained five SuMPO EPD certifications based on the SuMPO Environmental Labeling Program by the Sustainable Management Promotion Organization, for its steel pipes and tubes used in the chemical industry and for boilers. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/october-2024/water-management/refinerypetrochemical-makeup-water-treatment-a-general-guide-for-technical-personnel-part-3/ A very important—and sometimes overlooked—unit operation within hydrocarbon processing facilities is makeup water treatment for steam generators and other processes. 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.
