Petrochemicals rise in prominence and new know-how in refining processes
CO2 energy recycling approach in the petrochemical industries
Many industrial processes can generate carbon dioxide from fossil fuels. Recently, these processes have contributed to an average annual release of more than 30 Btpy of carbon dioxide into the environment.
History of the HPI: The 1960s: Synthetic oils, zeolite catalysts, LLDPE, OPEC and and creation of the PLC
During the 1960s, the global refining and petrochemical industries witnessed new processes and products that enhanced the daily lives of millions of people around the world.
Overview of decarbonization pathways for the oil and gas and petrochemical industries—Part 1
This two-part article will cover the seven pathways to decarbonizing the oil and gas and petrochemical industries.
Executive Viewpoint: Maire Tecnimont and the second wave of the circular economy
The circular economy has already entered the public’s consciousness, and consumers are increasingly aware of the urgent need to recycle plastic, with the practice becoming more widespread than ever.
Circular Economy: Innovative recycling, driving circularity while decarbonizing the petrochemical industry
Plastic pollution’s environmental challenges, as well as new government legislation, are having a significant impact on the plastics industry.
Reliability: Consider packaged twin-screw compressors
Compressors are widely used in the process industries to move fluids and gases within and outside the boundary of a process.
Editorial Comment: Pathways towards a more sustainable HPI
Among the dominant, far-reaching themes within the global refining and petrochemicals industries are the increase in biofeedstocks processing to produce biofuels and greener petrochemicals, the continued push towards clean fuels production, regulations and initiatives to adhere to net-zero emissions targets, and a surge in capital investments to build renewables and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) plants.
