How to buy and operate desalters
Consider these processing criteria to minimize investment and reduce maintenance expenses for this unit
Evaluating effects of changes in process plant design
A thorough understanding of the engineering, procurement and construction sequences is vital to comprehensively quantify all potential schedule and cost impacts during the pricing, review and approval process
Determining the true economic value of improved plant information
A new method is proposed for estimating benefits of the technology
Trends in laser scanning systems to support revamp, retrofit projects
Compared with the traditional site surveying techniques and measurement practices, engineering cost savings of up to 15% have been achieved
Avoid distorted translations of technical terms
Knowing accurate English and Spanish usage diminishes risk of costly operational hazards
Benefits of pre-engineered modules
As petrochemical manufacturing and refining organizations become leaner, even mature technologies are candidates for vendor designed, engineered and fabricated systems
Reduce energy costs for distillation column
Steam ejectors as part of the auxiliary water circuit can optimize energy and improve reliability
Optimize process furnace operations
Ceramic coatings improve production capabilities and thermal efficiencies of process furnaces and boilers
Use extractive distillation to simplify petrochemical processes
Advances in solvent technology enable using extraction methods to separate close boiling point compounds cost-effectively
Optimize short-term refinery scheduling
Constraints, different mathematical programming techniques and integrating scheduling subsystems must be considered
