Improving ammonia production sustainability
While approximately 70% of ammonia production is used to make fertilizers, it is also identified as the largest carbon dioxide (CO2)-emitting chemical industry process. This article examines several novel technologies to improve the sustainability of the ammonia production process.
Design optimization of an HVAC system in a petrochemical plant’s controls building
Since petrochemical plant control buildings are usually designed to be blast-resistant without external windows, convection ventilation cannot be carried out, leading to poor air circulation. As a result, there are higher requirements for indoor air quality, and it is necessary to optimize the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system design scheme to improve air quality.
Shape the future of sustainable processing with advanced analytics
From the foundations of measuring emissions in real time, to forecasting the impact of each lever and automating reporting, digital technologies help processors track key sustainability metrics and overall progress in the journey to net-zero.
