HPIn Europe: Privatization, acquisitions in the forefront
The next 12 months would appear to be extremely active ones if comments made at the recent Central and Eastern European Refining Conference are to be believed. During the course of the conference, whi..
New methodology enhances planning for refined products
A unique analytical tool collectively applies value information from various end-product and intermediate streams and identifies the best profit-making operation
HPIn Europe: Marine fuel set to tax refiners and ship owners
For some time now, the European Commission has been looking at the problem of emissions from ships - both inland and seagoing - as part of its concerns over emissions control and the ro..
Clean fuels programs – Asia-Pacific and Western Europe styles
Two refiners from different continents strive to meet the challenges of producing lower-sulfur fuels while endeavoring to protect the environment
Consider new FCC technologies to produce low-sulfur gasoline
Capital-free techniques such as catalyst and additive programs are viable options when meeting clean fuel specifications
Case history: Converting an MTBE unit to isooctane operation
Due to the ban of blending MTBE into RFG, this company revamped its operation to produce another gasoline component using technology never proven on world-scale levels
Floating-roof technology advances with lessons learned from an 80-year history
Consider these design fundamentals when selecting your storage solution
Optimize revamp projects with a logic-based approach
Retrofitting processing units pose many obstacles. Test-run evaluations uncover limitations from existing infrastructures that can derail project goals
Optimize coker operations
Refiners can update coking units via two methods – recycle or zero-recycle operations. Depending on the capability of downstream units either option can be used as part of clean-fuels program
Revitalize stripping operations with structured packing
Poor stripper performance of FCC spent catalyst burns up products and profits. New retrofit methods cut operating cost and increase product yields
