History of the HPI: The 1970s: Crises, clean air, plastic bottles and the DCS
The 1970s were marked by several historical events that affected not only the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) but nations around the world.
Overcome inflation and supply chain issues in construction
Inflation and supply chain disruptions are not new to the construction industry, but the severe combination of these factors and the rapid pace of change driven by the COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented.
Advanced cleaner technology: Leveraging tailored solutions for reliability goals
Operators at refineries, petrochemical plants and power generation companies are under constant pressure to reduce maintenance and operational costs, boost productivity, minimize risk of unplanned outages and maximize time between overhaul periods.
Xylene-loop scheme for minimized GHG emissions and PX production cost
Molecular management, energy efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions have become major focuses for petrochemical complexes, including aromatics plants.
BASF Bioenergy launches its new brand Spartec
BASF Bioenergy launches its new brand Spartec for the North American bioethanol market. With the new brand, BASF establishes a new standard for performance and service.
Bringing treatments to a boil
The function of a boiler is simple. It boils water to produce steam, which, in turn, provides energy.
Considerations for not providing a dedicated spare pressure-relief device
Pressure-relief devices play a critical role in the hydrocarbon processing industry.
Managing complexity in engineering and construction projects
It is widely accepted that new management methods are needed to curb the frequent delays and cost overruns observed in engineering and construction projects.
Save energy and reduce CO2 emissions with closed-loop optimization of utilities networks
Oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical companies face the difficult challenge of maximizing profitability while achieving aggressive decarbonization objectives set for 2030 and beyond.
