In mid-June, I joined Thad Pittman, Senior Research Analyst, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing’s</i> Construction Boxscore Database, to provide <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> subscribers with a global analysis on the downstream processing industry’s capital projects landscape.
Minimize energy consumption in water treatment with forward osmosis technology—Part 2
Heavy industries like refining, petrochemicals and mining face concerns about the availability of freshwater, as these are affected by local water scarcities and stringent water discharge regulations.
Chemistry modeling system—A key to increased steam system reliability
Oil refineries and petrochemical plants rely on steam systems to maintain utility and process unit operations.
Advantages of using TDL analyzers for safety monitoring in combustion within HPI applications
From refining to chemical production processes, heaters play an essential role in hydrocarbon processing applications.
Refinery revamp opportunities with welded plate heat exchangers
The plate-and-shell (P&S) heat exchanger has three significant advantages over the shell-and-tube (S&T) type traditionally used in refinery processes.
Best options for a reboiler revamp
It is always a challenge to reconfigure and resize existing reboilers, especially vertical thermosiphon ones, for the revised design and operating conditions of a brownfield project, since hydraulics external to the reboiler must match the reboiler hydraulics under the revamped conditions to ensure trouble-free operation.
Benefits of close-coupled flush rings
The chemical industry uses flush rings for diaphragm seals.
Address measurement uncertainty in pipelines and storage
How would you measure the volume of a can of soup? The height should work, but what about diameter? Or, you can possibly just trust what the manufacturer has told you on the label.
Specify the pressure drop of a vent silencer
Industrial facilities, such as refineries and petrochemical plants, have many systems and equipment that must relieve steam or gases through discharge piping to the atmosphere to avoid overpressure and protect the installation.
