Autonomous operations are poised to redefine industrial performance, offering transformative benefits in efficiency, safety, sustainability, and competitiveness. They will be soon be essential for achieving sustained commercial and technical excellence, and net-zero goals. The transition to autonomous operations is not optional—it is inevitable. However, realizing its full potential requires a holistic, enterprise-wide transformation that aligns technology, people, and processes. Organizations that lead this change will gain a significant competitive edge in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.

Are you ready to elevate your biofuel production and achieve your sustainability goals?

With over 90 years of energy sector expertise, the refinery sought to expand its biofuel capacity and lead the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market. However, filter clogging and catalyst contamination threatened their progress.

Pall responded with speed and expertise, delivering Ultipleat^® High Flow and High Flow Vector^™ filter housings that:

• Extended operational uptime from hours to weeks
• Enabled continuous processing of diverse vegetable oils
• Prevented costly shutdowns and catalyst replacements
• Significantly reduced operational and maintenance costs

Discover how a leading European refinery overcame critical operational challenges and enhanced production yields through Pall’s optimized filtration solutions.

Analyzing flare gases to meet regulatory requirements can be challenging. Process mass spectrometry (MS) is uniquely suited for this with its fast, accurate multicomponent analysis.

The Thermo Scientific™ Prima PRO magnetic sector MS can monitor flare gas streams and multiple process streams for greater root cause analysis. Along with complete compositional analysis, it provides accurate fuel gas properties, helping to ensure waste gases are completely combusted so unburned pollutants aren’t emitted from the flare.

This white paper explores how Atlas Copco Gas and Process Companders drive efficiency in gas compression by integrating compressor and expander functions on one gearbox. This design reduces CAPEX and OPEX through compact footprints, faster installation, and direct energy recovery. With proven applications across LNG, petrochemical, and chemical plants, Companders improve performance, reliability, and sustainability. Case studies in nitrous oxide removal, phenol, and nitric acid processes demonstrate significant energy savings, supporting decarbonization and cleaner plant operations.

With so many moving parts under intense pressure, it’s hard to keep track of every weak point in a reciprocating compressor. Discover how to detect faults faster in the crosshead, cylinder, and distance pieces with vibration monitoring in this whitepaper from B&K Vibro, the makers of SETPOINT^®.

Start-up following shutdown is a critical phase for fired heaters. Even with well-established procedures, rapid and uneven thermal expansion can introduce mechanical challenges that compromise reliability and performance. Online maintenance services offer in-situ solutions to these issues, minimizing downtime and preserving throughput. This paper outlines the technical basis and global field results of these applications.
