Business Trends: Battle of the biofuels: Renewable diesel vs. biodiesel

Opportune LLP: O'Brien, P.

As new low-carbon diesel fuels and blends become more readily available, it is important to understand the differences between them and how each impacts engine performance.

Control valve design challenges for green diesel processes

Emerson Automation Solutions: Prusha, J.

Green (or renewable) diesel is a biofuel that offers several advantages over biodiesel, so many refineries are increasingly including it in their production portfolios.

Key considerations for design and operation of a renewable diesel unit

Design of the process configuration and operation of the unit are fundamental aspects in the production of renewable diesel.

Oil refinery/petrochemical integration in a CO2-constrained world—Part 2

Fluor: Baars, F.  |  Oruganti, S.  |  Kalia, P.

Petrochemical demand will increase with gross domestic product, while the demand for motor fuels will only show modest growth and may even decline in certain regions, given environmental/legislative pressures and the introduction of battery-powered electric vehicles.

MAA refinery—Bunker fuel oil challenge: Stable and compatible VLSFO production

Kuwait National Petroleum Co.: Matar, M. B.  |  Al-Mane, A.  |  Rajendran, M.

Studies have been conducted on strategies for bunker fuel oil (BFO) production with reduced sulfur and catalytic fines concentration limits.

Industry Perspectives

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Nichols, Lee

Last month, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> presented its mid-year market update to a global audience.

Industry Metrics

U.S. Gulf Coast margins increased, supported by unplanned refinery outages that limited a stronger recovery in run rates and kept product outputs relatively supressed.
