Hydrocarbon Processing Awards
<i>Hydrocarbon Processing,</i> the downstream processing sector’s leading technical publication, has announced the winners for its second annual awards.
Additive solutions to SOx emissions in FCCUs
Sulfur oxide additives are typically based on hydrotalcite or magnesium aluminate spinel-type structures. Magnesium alumina is the pickup agent present in the most effective SO<sub>x</sub> additives on the market; therefore, to optimize SO<sub>x</sub> reduction, it is critical to maximize the amount of the critical magnesium component in the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) in an efficient and cost-effective way.
Innovations
Carboline has released Carboquick® 200, a high-build, one-coat, quick-drying polyaspartic coating that can be applied directly to metal.
Editorial Comment: Celebrating the latest advancements in HPI technology
At the end of this month, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> will honor the latest technological advances in the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) at an awards gala.
Online monitoring of H2O using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy
Raw wellhead natural gas is a complex mixture of methane (CH<sub>4</sub>), hydrocarbon condensates, natural gas liquids (NGL), water, contaminants, hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S), carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>), nitrogen, mercury and other compounds.

No excuse for cutting corners on monitoring corrosion
Corrosion is a major challenge and risk to contain for any oil and gas operator.
How APM in LNG operations can lower TCO and boost ROI
As the world’s hydrocarbon appetite continues its rapid turn toward lighter fare (e.g., natural gas for power generation, transportation and industry), massive, near-term investments in global, capital-intensive, fully digitalized LNG infrastructure are needed.
Digital: Looking to boost safety? Reliable operations are the key
Equipment failures are the thorn in every industrial plant’s side.
Use advanced predictive analytics for early detection and warning of column flooding events
In this study, a methodology was implemented to predict crude distillation tower flooding events based on key process variables, including product yields, column pumparound (PA) flowrates, column temperatures and overhead reflux flowrate.
