Librestream and ecom, a Pepperl+Fuchs brand, have collaborated on an innovation for asset analysis and safety inspections in hazardous locations: the Onsight Cube-Ex wearable camera.
Can nuclear power plant methodologies help improve hydrocarbon processing reliability?—Part 2
Safety requirements within nuclear power plants (NPPs) have encouraged the development of several rigorous methodologies that, in turn, have stimulated excellence in operability, reliability, availability and maintenance (RAM) to the extent that numerous guides and standards now regulate that industry.
Pump sealing for low-temperature hydrocarbons and liquefied atmospheric gases
Pumping of low-temperature and cryogenic fluids requires specific and unique engineering technologies for the shaft sealing system.
Case study for a high-performing refinery loss control program
Most refineries have some sort of mass balance and loss control program in place for accounting, planning and scheduling, as well as for financial and operational evaluation purposes.
Cloud-based condition monitoring solutions optimize reliability of rotating equipment
Hydrocarbon processing (HP) companies are seeking opportunities to improve productivity, optimize equipment availability and increase process uptime.
Equipment reliability: Critical to protecting margins in a volatile environment
For any hydrocarbon processor, margin is king.
Understand net gas compressor control logic from a process engineering standpoint
In a refinery or petrochemical plant, certain equipment can create “gray areas” between process engineers and instrument engineers.
Digital: Three steps to implement a 21st-century disaster recovery plan
In the wake of Hurricane Florence, businesses across the US had another reminder of how unpredictable and unavoidable disasters are when they strike.
Viewpoint: Shifting safety from cost to value for oil and gas companies
In today’s business and regulatory environment, controlling a refinery or other high-hazard processing plant is increasingly demanding.
Reliability: Things to ponder when specifying sensor technology for pumps
The application of wireless sensors to monitor process pump hydraulic performance and defect progression in the power end of pumps is of interest to pump users.
