Corrosion
Hyper-duplex stainless steel can improve on duplex steel and nickel-based superalloy
Duplex materials have been around for a long time.
Fabrication of clad equipment and piping—Part 1
For pressure vessels, heat exchangers and piping in corrosive services, the materials in contact with the process are often required to be high alloys to provide a reliable service life.
Onsite
Steve Elliott, Senior Director of Marketing, Schneider Electric, explained how Triconex safety solutions can help to actively manage the profitability of process operations at Triconex’s User Group event.
It’s not double trouble—it’s digital twingenuity

Viewpoint—Industry 4.0: Demystifying the next big thing in oil and gas
Until a few years ago, the term Industrial Revolution referred to the significant technological changes that began in the late 1700s with the advent of the steam engine, leading to the mechanization of work and the unprecedented economic growth and prosperity that followed.
The benefits of unmanned aerial vehicles in plant inspection services
As the technology surrounding unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones (FIG. 1), continues to advance, so too do the ways they are used.
Methodology for model-based, real-time prediction of corrosion in heat exchangers
In the chemical and process industries, gases or vapor mixtures must be cooled to temperatures near the water dewpoint in a variety of thermal unit operations.
Building blocks of process safety
Major incidents continue to strike the oil and gas industry at regular intervals.
