What are today’s industry leaders doing to improve asset performance? An ARC Advisory Group survey revealed that two-thirds of industry practitioners believe reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) isn’t improving reliability, and that operations has as much impact on plant asset performance as the maintenance organization. Download the report today for an in-depth analysis and recommendations from ARC.

How much is unplanned downtime costing you? The answer for most owners/operators is "way too much!" and "we’re not sure how to fix it." A new white paper from Lloyd's Register on maintenance optimization shows you the steps that will leverage the strategic value of your data to increase asset performance, reduce downtime, minimize risk and maximize ROI.

The current low margin refining environment is driving refiners to improve returns on their existing assets by manufacturing higher-quality products at a more competitive cost. Refiners are seeking ways to run their hydrocracking units at higher capabilities and realize more benefit from their investment – or both. Heide Refinery’s Head of Technology and Energy Department, Mrs. Ulrike Vollrath, and Honeywell UOP’s Principal Hydroprocessing Technology Specialist, Mr. Rajesh Sivadasan, provide a case study examining how Heide Refinery replaced their catalyst with a combination of hydrotreating and hydrocracking catalysts and achieved their business objectives.

Many refiners and petrochemical companies are not running existing assets at their greatest potential, leaving money on the table. To improve profit margins, they need to think beyond traditional revamps and adjustments. Download this white paper and learn how AI and advanced technologies help organizations increase margins and gain a competitive advantage.

The EPA has estimated that approximately 70,367 tons per year of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and 9,357 tons per year of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) have been emitted from equipment [including valves] leaks. As our world is increasingly focused on the identification and eradication of fugitive emissions, the valve industry has a duty to engineer new products in support of this movement. This paper will explore the importance of, and how to achieve, True Zero Leakage with Modulating Pilot Operated Pressure Relief Valves at high operating pressures made possible by advanced bolt-on modulator technology.
