Process Optimization
Consider integrated plant design and engineering
Innovative methods are vital in new project management
No small task to move plant from Kansas to Colombia
Relocating an entire agrochemical facility added needed capacity while saving significant time and money
Integrate HSE concepts in facility design
Incorporating these aspects early in the planning process significantly reduces rework and subsequent costs during construction and operation
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and gain carbon credits
This can be accomplished by integrating hot utility duties to enhance waste energy recovery
How to predict fluid coker performance
New model helps estimate yields for 'bottom-of-the-barrel' residuals
Improve design strategies for refinery vacuum towers
Products yield and specifications with energy conservation goals can determine options to revamp distillation units
Consider new synergistic methods to upgrade bitumen
Innovative methods conserve energy resources for oil sands projects
Adopting global functional safety standards
Potential operational savings justifies the initial investment
Prevent hydrocarbon leaks in cooling water
Microbes cause problems in plant condensers and coolers
Improve waterside operation for waste-heat boiler
Better water chemistry practices can increase reliability of sulfur recovery units
