Process Optimization
LNG technology—The next chapter
Technical challenges of new plants will involve the sizing of trains, construction cost controls, onshore vs. offshore, energy efficiencies and environment
Developing mid-scale LNG projects from the contractor's perspective
Modular liquefaction methods reduce construction and operating costs for smaller reserve developments
Optimize LNG plant reliability
Controlling heat exchanger cool-down increases efficiency and availability
An improved experimental correlation for Darcy friction factor
The pressure drop estimate may be on the unsafe side when using the traditional Moody chart
How do feedstocks affect visbreaker operations?
Studies show that feedstock quality and severity on conversion impact the stability of visbreaker residue
Improve amine absorber operations
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
