MHI Compressor delivers critical turbomachinery for Texas ethane cracker
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor International Corporation (MCO-I), a leader in the design and manufacturing of compressors, steam turbines and associated auxiliaries, has successfully manufactured, tested and shipped steam turbine-driven compressor packages to Golden Triangle Polymers Co., a Chevron Phillips Chemical Co. (CPChem) and QatarEnergy joint venture, for its world-scale 2.08-MMtpy ethane cracker located in Orange County, Texas.
Reduce costs by following grab sampling best practices
Accurate grab sampling practices are necessary to validate the quality of chemical products with precise compositions. Operators must follow proper procedures to avoid compromising the sample. Otherwise, the result may be an inaccurate analysis of their product, leading to quality lapses and potentially costing a facility thousands of dollars in revenue.
How to select the right explosive-certified equipment for hazardous areas
When operating in a potentially explosive atmosphere, several crucial aspects must be considered. These include understanding the potential hazards and choosing the correct tools for the identified hazardous areas. The rules and regulations surrounding the use of equipment in hazardous areas are deciphered and explained within this work.
Safe design and operation of burn pit flare systems
This article will mainly focus on horizontal flare systems and grade-level burn pits. Design considerations, operational challenges and several lessons learned will be discussed.
SMR feed effluent hairpin exchanger: Once upon a time—An unusual thermal mix-point failure—Part 2
This article presents a review of a failure that happened in a hairpin heat exchanger type on the shell side in a H2 (H2) reformer unit.
Use advanced thermal insulative coatings to improve safety, maintain access and protect against corrosion
Throughout refineries, petrochemical plants and offshore oil and gas platforms, personnel are often required to work near equipment that operates at high temperatures. Protecting those workers from skin-contact burns has typically involved two approaches: implementing physical barriers and covering the hot assets with insulation and cladding. This article details how thermal insulative coatings can be used to improve safety and guard against corrosion.
Measuring hydrogen, tomorrow’s innovative fuel
Because it can be stored, transported and burned without GHG emissions, hydrogen (H2) is emerging as a potential frontrunner as a clean fuel source. However, transporting H2 must be efficient and cost-effective, a task that requires careful consideration and innovative solutions. This article will examine requirements for effective H2 transportation and accurate measurement in its challenging environments.
