History of the HPI: The 1930s: Catalytic cracking, polyethylene, synthetic fibers, resins and jet engines

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Nichols, Lee

The hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) has a rich history of discovery, challenges, breakthroughs, trial and error, collaboration and success. <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> continues its reflection on the history of the HPI.

Web-based software for predicting crude compatibility and optimization for increasing heavy oil processing

Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd.: Kumar, R.  |  Rakshit, P. K.  |  John, M.  |  Voolapalli, R. K.

Refineries in oil-importing nations typically process a blend of crude oils, rather than a single crude oil, to ensure that an optimum product mix can be obtained at the minimum costs.

Editorial Comment: Adoption of digital technologies is a mainstay in the HPI

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Nichols, Lee

A few years ago, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> started to include digital technologies in its monthly article focus.

Industry Perspectives: Capital investments/major trends affecting the global HPI
