Development of novel epoxy closed-cell foam for personnel and corrosion protection—Part 1
Most industrial assets operating at elevated temperatures require thermal insulation for energy conservation, thermal protection or process stabilization.
A system approach to mitigating corrosion under insulation
This article will consider how a system approach can help mitigate the risk of CUI and contribute to the performance and longevity of piping and equipment.
Why sulfur plants fail: An in-depth study of sulfur recovery unit failures—Part 1
Equipment malfunction or an unplanned shutdown of a SRU can have a significant effect on a production company’s profitability, along with an equally serious impact on personnel safety and the environment.
Viewpoint: The pathway towards autonomy: How process automation is building the future plant
<i>Hydrocarbon Processing </i> sat down with Jason Urso (JU), Chief Technology Officer, Honeywell Process Solutions, to discuss the current state of the process automation industry, how new technologies are enhancing efficiency and safety, and what the future holds for automation.
Developing and utilizing a novel, toughened epoxy adhesive
When identifying solutions that can offer assurance and longevity, the maintenance and reliability of asset repairs can be challenging.
