IRPC Process Technology: The latest advancements in process technologies
Refineries and petrochemical plants are comprised of a series of crucial processes to produce transportation fuels, products and chemicals demanded by the global market. These processes consist of capital-intensive units that must be maintained to provide reliable performance. Failure to adequately maintain these assets can have a detrimental effect to not only operations and profit, but also to worker safety.
The Tüpraş İzmit refinery’s largest crude distillation unit (CDU) is designed with a preflash column prior to the atmospheric distillation column.
Renewable diesel: this greener, cleaner fuel has taken our industry by storm.
The hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) is steadily advancing through the energy transition.
The refining industry links the upstream production of crude oil with the end markets for fuel products, as well as for the petrochemical/chemical industry.
Revamping an existing column in an operating plant for higher throughput is a challenge, especially when the column is already operating at its rated capacity.
Crude oil is separated into more valuable products, such as naphtha, kerosene, light diesel, heavy diesel and atmospheric residue, in crude distillation units (CDUs).
Distillation is the most widespread separation method in history.
TechnipFMC has begun construction on Assiut National Oil Processing Co.’s new hydrocracking complex in Egypt.
