Refining
Innovations
Industrial workers can strengthen their grasp of production and make more informed operating decisions with the new Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5480 controller by Rockwell Automation.
Global Project Data
Hydrocarbon Processing’s Construction Boxscore Database is tracking nearly 1,300 projects around the world.
Selection of cooling water system for gas, petroleum and petrochemical plants located on coastline - Part 1
Cooling water systems play an important role in today’s industry.
A cost-effective approach to monitoring dangerous hydrogen sulfide gas
Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) is one of the most common hazards in the oil and gas industry.
Comparative analyses of common project execution alternatives
With major projects (FIG. 1), alternatives are generally considered in overall project execution and in construction.
Industry Metrics
All main US products performed positively as refinery product outputs declined considerably and led to a fall in inventory levels, fueling bullish sentiment.
Assess remaining life for heater tubes
Refineries and petrochemical plants form some of the major sections of the hydrocarbon industry and consume much of the fuel that is burned in furnaces (heaters and specialty furnaces, such as reformers and crackers) to meet process heating requirements.
Improve CCR reforming profitability using a novel high-density catalyst
Catalytic reforming has been a staple in petroleum refining since 1949.
Develop reactor internals for optimizing reactor design - Part 2: High-performance mixing chamber
Most hydroprocessing reactors are fixed-bed reactors comprising several catalyst beds that are divided by quench zones containing mixing chambers that introduce a vapor-quenching medium.
Coke drum and blowdown system overpressure protection design - Part 1
The blowdown (BD) system in delayed coking units (DCUs) receives waste streams generated during the coke drum (CD) decoking process to recover valuable hydrocarbons and water. In recent DCU designs, the CD pressure relief valves (PRVs) also discharge to this system and then to the flare system via the BD PRVs.
