Catalytic technology: Options for better hydrogen production
It is not just steam and feed costs that determine processing methods for hydrogen generation
Dealing with dieselization
Several processing options can provide cost-effective ways to maximize diesel make and limit gasoline production
Improve usage of regenerated refining catalysts
Common-sense guidelines detail when it is beneficial to reuse catalysts
HPIn Europe: Forget dieselization of the marine fleet, what about gas?
Forget smoke-and-mirrors fuel cell engine that exudes only water vapor, a German company has developed one that emits substantial amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), and this may be a very good thing. I..
HP Viewpoint: Engineering Earth's thermostat with CO2?
Earth's temperature is a chemical process system. Review of control system engineering of Earth's thermostat with anthropogenic CO2 in 1997 proved it will never work because it is an unmeasurable, uno..
