Slurry-phase hydrocracking—possible solution to refining margins
Opportunity crudes require more hydrogen addition to upgrade orphan product streams into higher-value ‘clean’ products
Convert bottom-of-the-barrel into diesel and light olefins
Integrating residue hydrocracking operations with advanced fluid catalytic cracking optimizes upgrading of heavy crude oils
What are the future fungible transportation fuels?
Alternatives hold promises to decrease dependence on crude oil, but they also uncover other challenges in distribution and engine use
How to fabricate reactors for severe service
Many critical factors are involved in the design and welding of hydrocracking reactors
Minimize carbon footprint from Claus tail-gas units
Reevaluate emissions efficiencies on sulfur-removal operations
Designing atmospheric crude distillation for bitumen service
Oil sands add complexity to separation units and require a new approach
An efficient source of terahertz radiation is developed
The joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (JILA) has developed a laser-based source of terahertz radiation that is unusually efficient and less prone to damage than similar systems. The technology might be useful in applications such as detecting trace gases or imaging weapons in security screening.
