Follow these three easy steps to find more flexibility in absorber systems
Better manage risks of gas-processing projects
All projects contain risks and opportunities; responding to these uncertainties requires a structured approach to risk management
How to choose a ball valve that curbs fugitive emissions
Increasing environmental regulations require better choices for commonly used valves with greater reliability and leak-tight seals
Avoiding plant tests with dynamic simulation
A model-predictive controller based on models derived from first-principles dynamic simulation as an alternative to empirical models identified from plant test data is presented
