Environment & Safety
Consider classroom training for plant operators
Course materials are specially focused on the safe, environmentally sound and efficient operations of a processing facility
Smart actuators can prevent valve failure during critical events
They enable partial stroke testing (PST) and ensure the PST signal doesn't interfere with a simultaneous emergency shutdown signal
What chemical engineers should know about ASME codes
Section VIII code defines safety issues and design requirements for pressure vessels
How fan noise reduction affects cost
Case studies for a bank of air-cooled heat exchangers and a set of cooling tower cells are presented
Carbon capture and storage: Solution or a challenge
Established and new technologies will be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Low-carbon refinery: Dream or reality
These steps show how to implement an effective carbon management system at your facility
Integrate refinery carbon dioxide reduction plans plant-wide
Carbon capture and reduction schemes or combination of various processes have economic value and depend on many factors
Novel method measures water in lubricating oil
Low-level quantitative analysis of water in oil uses better stabilization techniques
Operator training simulator: myths and misgivings
Ten special 'features' are analyzed to assess whether these add-ons provide real value or if informed users (and vendors) would be better off focusing on core values
