Digital transformation is a strategy for improving performance by applying technologies for measurement, connectivity, data storage, analytics and visualization
High-frequency acoustic excitation—Part 1
Failure of a piping section at the outlet of pressure safety valves (PSVs) and control valves—where significant differential pressure exists (particularly in gas processing industries)—is a common problem in industries.
Stress qualifications for standard and nonstandard valves in piping systems
Various types of valves are used in refineries, petrochemical plants, fertilizer plants and utilities.
Advances in compressor anti-surge valve design enhance reliability and performance
Centrifugal and axial compressors are some of the most critical components used within a process plant to handle gases.
Editorial Comment: Optimizing operations by advancing process controls, instrumentation and automation technologies
When driving by or visiting a refinery or petrochemical plant, one cannot help but gaze at the expansive sea of metal towers.
