As part of this initiative, Kelvion will develop cutting-edge 3D-printed heat exchanger prototypes using advanced materials specifically designed for sCO₂ systems, reaffirming its commitment to driving sustainable energy innovations. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/01/exxonmobil-s-next-generation-h2-burner-can-help-decarbonize-a-key-industry/ At its olefins plant in Baytown, Texas, ExxonMobil has designed and installed pyrolysis burners that can operate on up to 100% H2 fuel. A total of 44 burners were installed in one of the plant’s steam cracking furnaces. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/01/alleima-to-supply-preem-with-heat-exchanger-tubes-for-lysekil-refinery-conversion/ Alleima will supply Preem with heat exchanger tubes to be used in the conversion of the Lysekil refinery from fossil to renewable fuels. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/november-2024/maintenance-reliability-and-inspection/smr-feed-effluent-hairpin-exchanger-once-upon-a-time-an-unusual-thermal-mix-point-failure-part-2/ This article presents a review of a failure that happened in a hairpin heat exchanger type on the shell side in a H2 (H2) reformer unit. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/october-2024/maintenance-reliability-and-inspection/smr-feed-effluent-hairpin-exchanger-once-upon-a-time-an-unusual-thermal-mix-point-failure-part-1/ This article presents a review of a failure that happened in a hairpin heat exchanger type on the shell side in a hydrogen (H2) reformer unit. This mechanism was not identified during the design phase and led to a failure after only two years of operation. This article also reviews the situations encountered during the design stage and how they affected the material selection.  http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/iraqs-kerbala-refinery-to-operate-at-50-in-coming-days/ Iraq's Kerbala refinery will operate at around 50% capacity in the coming days. The refinery will process around 60,000 bpd as four of its eight heat exchanger units will stay offline for extensive maintenance http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/kurita-america-launches-kurita-dropwise-condensation-technology-in-north-america/ Kurita America, part of a leading global provider of industrial water treatment solutions the Kurita Group, has introduced Kurita Dropwise Condensation Technology in the North American marketplace. 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/august-2024/special-focus-plant-safety-and-environment/review-steam-system-designs-to-accelerate-chemical-industry-decarbonization/ Industrial steam systems range from simple systems comprising a low-pressure single steam user to a complex system with multiple pressure levels, multiple generators and multiple users integrated with an onsite cogeneration facility. This article will present the typical CO2 emissions estimates for chemical and petrochemical facilities and describe options available to reduce these emissions through additional heat integration, fuel switching, and the use of heat pumps and electric boilers.
