Carbon Management
In-depth and preemptive front-end planning yields positive project results
Despite the challenges that major projects can present (short deadlines, budget constraints and overruns, unforeseen problems onsite and tension throughout executive teams), they can also prove to be a win-win for both the owner and the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm.
Shell opens Quest CO2 capture project in Alberta
Quest draws on techniques used by the energy industry for decades and integrates the components of CCS for the large-scale capture, transport and storage of CO2.
Praxair to recover CO2 at PBF refinery in Delaware
Praxair will build, own and operate a 450-tpd carbon dioxide purification and liquefaction plant at the refinery, run by PBF Energy in Delaware City, Delaware.
Jacobs to advise UK on carbon capture program
Under the contract, Jacobs is providing an assessment of the agreed deliverables from two developers of full chain CCS projects as technical advisor to support the program's delivery.
Deploying software-based emissions monitoring systems for refining processes
It is important that efficient and reliable tools for acquiring emissions data are available. Environmental constraints not only can affect production, but failure to provide emissions values for extended periods may lead to an authority-imposed plant shutdown.
Accurate rate-based modeling of acid gas and mercaptan removal using hybrid solvents
Prediction of mercaptan removal from natural gas streams with liquid solvents presents significant challenges. Using an extensive experimental data collection campaign and recently improved thermodynamic models, an innovative solution has overcome these challenges and developed a rate-based model to accurately predict mercaptan removal performance.
Air Liquide opens California CO2 liquefaction plant
The facility captures carbon dioxide emissions from an ethanol plant owned by Calgren Renewable Fuels. The carbon dioxide recovered is then purified and liquefied by Air Liquide.
HP Industry Perspectives: RFS—An endless loop
Renewable fuels remain a huge burden for the global refining industry. Today’s transportation fuels, when used with later-model vehicles, have dramatically reduced tailpipe emissions. With much p..
Haldor Topsoe, FLSmidth to jointly market catalytic filter bag technology
The product’s integrated process can reduce the cost of off-gas cleaning and differs from the standard of using separate stand-alone systems to address removal of specific compounds.
Honeywell begins production of new low-GWP blowing agent, propellant
Honeywell projects that use of its low GWP Solstice materials to replace HFCs will eliminate more than 350 metric MMt in CO2 equivalents by 2025.
