Implementation challenges faced by new and existing facilities

Refinery hydrogen management – the big picture

UOP N.V.: Huycke, R.
UOP LLC: Zagoria, A.

Hydrogen network operating decisions affect the bottom line every day, but most refineries do not apply the tools that could dramatically increase profitability

Protect desulfurization catalyst with prefiltration systems

Pall Corp.: Cathcart, N.  |  Lindstrom, T. H.
Pall Canada: Levesque, F.

Suspended solids in refinery feeds foul critical desulfurization catalysts and heat exchange equipment and rob refiners of potential profits

The ultimate 'clean' fuel – Gas-to-liquid products

Davy Process Techonology: Ashley, M.  |  Gamlin, T.

New reforming technology enables converting stranded natural gas into low-sulfur syngas

Consider onsite gas supply to meet processing needs

Linde AG: Heisel, M.
Linde AG, Gas and Engineering: Scholz, G.  |  Schweer, D.

By outsourcing industrial gas sources, refiners can focus resources – capital and manpower – on upgrading crude oil into higher-value products

Noncapital intensive technologies reduce FCC sulfur content – Part 1

Davison Catalysts: Lesemann, M.  |  Schult, C.

Innovative solutions such as catalysts and membranes can be used to navigate the 'roadmap' for clean fuels agenda

Consider a risk-based inspection program to improve safety and availability

Corporacion Mexicana de Investigacion en Materiales: Aguilar-Otero, J. R.  |  Ovalle-Turrubiartes, J.

Within the framework of a process safety management program, this method helps to minimize maintenance costs and reduce plant risk level

HP Automation Safety: Importance of the safety manual

exida LLC: Goble, W.

It is the beginning of 2003, a good time for improving process safety. The new IEC 61511 standard for the process industries has passed voting on part 1 (the meat!). Most in the U.S. ex..

Valve signatures and partial stroke testing

ICS Triplex, a Rockwell Automation Company: Gruhn, P.
Drallim: Essam, D.

The technology can be used on any valve without shutting down the process
