What are the 10 secrets of successful leaders?
Leadership is about relationships; consider applying these strategies to improve your organization
Advanced hydrocracking technology upgrades extra heavy oil
New hydrogen-addition process yields middle distillates while zeroing fuel oil and coke production from vacuum residue
Executing a standard plant design using the 4X model
Case study: A low-sulfur gasoline project on four identical process units
Case history: Benchmarks achieved in a residue upgrading project
This energy company aggressively implemented a mega-project safely and under budget with a new approach
Consider advanced multi-promoted catalysts to optimize reformers
Improved catalyst systems strike a new balance to increase yields with greater selectivity for end-products
Biorefineries: Fact or fiction?
Technology advances facilitate building integrated chemical complexes based on renewable feedstocks that can cost-effectively process ethylene derivatives
Consider practical conditions for vacuum unit modeling
A good simulation model is a tool that reveals critical operating conditions and can be applied to daily operations
Laser-scanning technology improves plant quality, safety and training
Costs can be reduced due to 75% fewer field trips as well as 50% fewer fit-up welds and field changes
Project execution risk management for addressing constructability
Use construction knowledge, experience and efficiency in a structured and systematic way throughout the design and execution planning stages
