Impact of biofeed retrofits, coprocessing on refinery amine units, SWSs and SRUs—Part 1
Diesel with a portion of biologically sourced carbon is being produced at an increasing number of conventional crude oil refineries.
HP Flashback: Advancing processing technologies and refining operations: Excerpts from the 1920s
The following is a mixture of technical articles, columns and headlines published in the 1920s by <i>The Refiner and Natural Gasoline Manufacturer</i>, the forerunner to <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i>.
Sustainability through efficiency: A plan for the refining industry
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions will decrease through 2050 in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD), which includes the U.S.<sup>1</sup>
Safe and sustainable alkylation for the forward-looking refiner
In a post-pandemic economy, global governments and industry participants are increasingly committing to meeting climate action targets.
Shrinking the carbon footprint: A digital transformation roadmap for green fuel producers
From ethanol and renewable diesel to biofuels and gas-to-liquids, the world is moving toward low-carbon energy sources to mitigate climate change and boost energy security.
Corrosion: Maintaining profitability with opportunity crudes while mitigating naphthenic acid corrosion
Refiners are asked to produce products within ever tighter margins in a changing industry.
Process Controls, Instrumentation and Automation: Improved methods for trace element analysis of challenging petrochemical samples
There is no doubt that the purpose of refining crude oils into natural raw materials is crucial to produce a vast array of fuels and products used in our daily lives.
Reliability: Disregarding storage preservation has consequences
As a rule, equipment to be installed at a plant site initially arrives at an outdoor storage yard.
How one analyzer technology can improve a semi-regenerative catalytic reforming process
Going back to the earliest days of the industry, oil refiners have found that breaking down crude oil into marketable fractions does not always result in high volumes of the most profitable products.
Safety and environmental benefits of reliability engineering
When you boil down the mission of reliability to its bare essence, the job is to deliver maximum operational availability for the least amount of money over the lifecycle of the asset.
