http://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com Hydrocarbon Processing http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2025/march-2025/process-optimization/optimize-sulfur-recovery-sub-dewpoint-sulfur-recovery-with-interstage-membrane/ The author’s company’s new sub-dewpoint sulfur recovery with interstage membrane (SSRIM) technology is a breakthrough for the sulfur recovery industry, as it is the first technology capable of achieving an overall recovery efficiency of > 99.9% without requiring a tail gas treating unit. This article discusses the basic SSRIM configuration and its advantages when compared to a traditional Claus/TGT configuration.   http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2025/march-2025/process-optimization/optimizing-ngl-treatment-for-sulfur-and-methanol-reduction-at-pembina-ngl-corporation-s-redwater-fractionation-plant-part-1/ This article details a project that optimized sulfur treatment and methanol reduction at Pembina NGL's Redwater plant in Canada. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/october-2024/digital-technologies/utilize-a-process-simulation-digital-twin-to-optimize-condensate-yield/ With the aim to maximize profit, and contribute to sustainability targets by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ADNOC Sour Gas has optimized condensate hydrotreater operation by adjusting Reid vapor pressure, which resulted in maximizing condensate yield. This article is a case study on using a process digital twin to optimize condensate yield. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/asia-spot-diesel-discounts-narrow-amid-tightened-supply/ Northeast Asian refiners sold November-loading ultra low-sulfur diesel at the narrowest discounts since the start of the year as supply has tightened due to lower regional output. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/update-us-crude-oil-inventories-rise-as-refining-activity-dips/ U.S. crude oil inventories rose last week as refinery utilization rates fell amid weakening fuel demand. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/09/digital-feature-e-methanol-benefits-process-challenges-and-a-novel-technology-to-produce-fuel/ Hydrocarbon Processing sat down with Andrew Symes, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, OXCCU, to discuss the production, benefits and challenges of e-methanol, as well as a novel, one-set process to produce it. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/september-2024/environment-and-safety/alarm-management-and-operator-training-case-studies-for-a-sulfur-recovery-unit/ This article will provide an in-depth insight of an operator training simulator, as well as the basic features of creating a virtual plant in which the operators are allowed to train and test various operating scenarios. It will also highlight the inbuilt scenarios inside the model—most importantly, the startup, shutdown and specific upset scenarios.   http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/08/asia-10-ppm-gasoil-refining-margins-near-18-month-low-on-clouded-outlook/ Asia's 10-ppm sulfur gasoil refining margins have slumped to a near 18-month low amid mixed market outlooks as well as softer ICE gasoil futures and prompt paper swaps. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/07/woodmac-lng-truck-sales-impacting-chinese-road-diesel-demand/ China’s sales of LNG-powered heavy-duty trucks rose from below 10% to reach as much as 30% of the market in the latter months of 2023, resulting in the displacement of over 8% of road diesel demand in the country. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/07/nigeria-investigates-fuel-imports-after-dangote-refinery-rift-with-regulator/ Nigerian lawmakers have set up a committee to investigate crude shortages to local refineries and the importation of dirty fuels, issues at the heart of a rift between the Dangote Refinery and Nigeria's downstream oil regulator.
