Critical considerations for retrofit designing a platformer reactor’s partial bypass piping in a NHT plant
The naphtha hydrotreater/continuous catalyst regeneration (NHT/CCR) platformer produces reformate to be utilized as a blending stock in the gasoline pool (FIG. 1).
Complete hydroconversion of crude oil to light hydrocarbons
One of the prevailing factors of the energy transition toward a low-carbon energy system is that the decarbonization of transport will lead to the contraction of the main markets in which crude oil refining products are sold.
Boil-off gas APC exceeds expectations
The use of advanced process control (APC) technology on LNG liquefaction trains is well accepted with some of the earliest implementations developed in the late 1990s.
Added benefits of control-valve environmental packing
Packing selection used to be a straightforward task that played a small part in a valve specification process that was much more involved.
Business Trends: The journey to sustainable profitability: How to benchmark the efficiency of your investment
Because it provides the energy and materials required for global development, the refining industry is critical to the world economy.
From crude oil to light olefins: Development and industrial application of the next-generation catalyst for catalytic pyrolysis process
Light olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene, are the most crucial building blocks for the petrochemical industry.
Carbon capture in syngas-based projects
Recent legislation, such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (which was passed in the U.S.), provide financial incentives for projects generating power, transportation fuels or other forms of energy to reduce their overall carbon emissions.
Next-generation automation technology paves the way for sustainable H2 manufacturing
In the last few years, sustainability initiatives have started a dramatic shift from hydrocarbon to hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) production.
Business Trends: In uncertain times, how can industry balance energy security, sustainability and affordability?
What happened in 2022 has challenged assumptions about the energy transition.
Executive Viewpoint: Carbon capture and storage: The current market, challenges, integrated hubs and where industry goes from here
Hydrocarbon Processing met with Johan de Villiers, Senior Vice President, Global Energy Accounts, ABB, and Matt Healey, Managing Director, Pace CCS, to discuss the global carbon capture and storage market, the challenges involved in scaling up operations and building integrated hubs.
