However, like any essential component, they require adequate protection. The best technology to guard against premature bearing failure is bearing isolators, and it is critical to select the correct bearing isolator design that incorporates features specific for oil mist lubrication. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/october-2024/special-focus-valves-pumps-compression-and-turbomachinery/best-practice-guidelines-for-selecting-types-of-compressors/ This article discusses the best practices for selecting compressors for different applications in refining, petrochemical, chemical and carbon capture plants. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/straightflo-reciprocating-compressor-valve-provider-rebrands-as-atlas-copco/ In a move underscoring the company’s expanded global reach and enhanced resources, reciprocating compressor valve maker Zahroof Valves Inc. will now operate under the Atlas Copco brand. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/mitsubishi-heavy-industries-delivers-co2-product-compressor-package-for-exxonmobil-s-wyoming-ccs-project/ Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor International Corp. (MCO-I), a leader in the design and manufacturing of compressors, steam turbines and associated auxiliaries, has announced the successful delivery of a state-of-the-art carbon dioxide (CO2) product compressor package for ExxonMobil’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) expansion project in LaBarge, Wyoming. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/september-2024/carbon-captureco2-mitigation/retrofitting-co2-capture-in-a-petroleum-refinery/ This article examines the application of solvent absorption-based post combustion capture for refinery/site-specific factors and quantifies the impact this will have on CCS CAPEX/OPEX. This analysis helps to determine the optimum approach for any individual refinery site. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/june-2024/sustainability-and-the-energy-transition/transitioning-to-an-electrified-future/ As countries responsible for 75% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions set net-zero targets, oil and gas, chemicals and other energy-intensive process industries are under increasing pressure to decarbonize. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/05/ebara-elliott-energy-to-provide-compressor-for-thailand-s-first-saf-project/ Ebara Elliott Energy, formerly Elliott Group, has been contracted to provide a motor-driven recycle compressor with a variable frequency drive (VFD) for the Sustainable Fuel Development Project (SFP) by TTCL Public Co. Ltd. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/04/atlas-copco-cut-the-carbon/ This article details Atlas Copco's Cut the Carbon solutions initiative and how they it is supporting decarbonization efforts around the world. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/april-2024/special-focus-maintenance-and-reliability/maintenance-keeps-refineries-and-petrochemical-plants-healthy/ The maintenance of industrial chemical plants is essential to protect and restore equipment, circuits and systems to enhance their function and provide efficient operations. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/march-2024/plant-design-engineering-construction-and-commissioning/pellet-handling-system-for-polyolefin-plants-are-you-specifying-it-correctly/ Product pellets produced in polyolefin plants—such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP)—require transportation from the unit to the end users that process these pellets to manufacture different end-use plastic products.
