Consider revamping hydrotreaters to handle higher H2 partial pressures
Most clean fuel programs will reuse existing equipment. A thorough review of pressure ratings can optimize design opportunities
Performance-based contracting
Selecting this strategy for plant services can lower maintenance costs and raise productivity
Plant design team: Think outside the box
Following all the written codes and normal practices does not necessarily ensure a good finished product
Consider tubing solutions to enhance plant efficiency
It is more economical and less prone to leaks in many applications
Migrating digital plant data from design into operations
Here’s an overview of the issues and potential paybacks
Using an integrated approach conserves energy andhydrogen
Applying plant-wide pinch analysis for an existing facility often lowers CAPEX for expansions and retrofits
'MIX' concept links refining operations with power and construction industries
An integrated approach enables establishing base-industries complex for medium-sized plants at lower CAPEX
New methodology enhances planning for refined products
A unique analytical tool collectively applies value information from various end-product and intermediate streams and identifies the best profit-making operation
