Industry Perspectives: What topics do you want to hear about?
Throughout Hydrocarbon Processing’s 97 yr of publishing technical material for the refining and petrochemical industries, the journal has focused on numerous topics to optimize downstream processing facility operations.
Can nuclear power plant methodologies help improve hydrocarbon processing reliability?—Part 2
Safety requirements within nuclear power plants (NPPs) have encouraged the development of several rigorous methodologies that, in turn, have stimulated excellence in operability, reliability, availability and maintenance (RAM) to the extent that numerous guides and standards now regulate that industry.
The new normal in petrochemical revamp projects
You have made the decision to increase plant capacity—with a change in feed—in the existing facility.
Equipment life assessment—An exercise to help ensure plant equipment integrity and reliability
Numerous plants around the world operate with hazardous oil and gas, petrochemicals and refining fluids that have surpassed their design life.
Raman spectroscopy for the optimization of hydrogen usage in refineries
Approximately 700 refineries are in operation worldwide, producing a range of petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, liquified petroleum gas (LPG) and fuel oils.
