From crude oil to light olefins: Development and industrial application of the next-generation catalyst for catalytic pyrolysis process
Light olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene, are the most crucial building blocks for the petrochemical industry.
Carbon capture in syngas-based projects
Recent legislation, such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (which was passed in the U.S.), provide financial incentives for projects generating power, transportation fuels or other forms of energy to reduce their overall carbon emissions.
Accelerating the energy transition with advanced self-service analytics
As companies in the manufacturing process industry explore sustainable ways to manage their energy use, engineers are finding that the deadline for drastically reducing carbon emissions is approaching rapidly.
Next-generation automation technology paves the way for sustainable H2 manufacturing
In the last few years, sustainability initiatives have started a dramatic shift from hydrocarbon to hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) production.
Heat exchangers: Understanding the technology and its market
The laws of thermodynamics include: energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another; and heat always moves downhill, from hotter objects to the colder objects, unless the direction of heat flow is reversed using external energy.
Innovations
For organizations to secure their operations and reduce cyber threats, a successful cybersecurity strategy requires solutions to secure endpoints—any device that is connected to a network outside of its firewall, including laptops, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), switches, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and more.
Business Trends: In uncertain times, how can industry balance energy security, sustainability and affordability?
What happened in 2022 has challenged assumptions about the energy transition.
Real-time monitoring of creep damage for fired equipment tubes, employing advanced web platforms
Within the petrochemical industry, fired heater tubes and boilers experience high tube metal temperatures (TMTs) for extended periods of time.
Oil group MOL disputes hikes to pipeline fees through Ukraine, Croatia
Hungarian oil group MOL expects to be able to choose between Russian or non-Russian crude for its refineries by 2026 by implementing substantial investments.
Japan's Cosmo to keep current refining capacity at least until 2030
Cosmo Energy Holdings Co Ltd plans to keep the current refining capacity at least until 2030 despite an expected fall in gasoline demand in Japan due to aging population and higher sales of electric vehicles.
