Horizontal distillation column technology
Gas-liquid contact operations are required for the separation of mixtures based on differences in the chemical properties (volatility, solubility, etc.) of various components.
Reliability: Find the cause of black oil in pump bearing housings
While on consulting assignments, observant reliability engineers often uncover (or rediscover) failure initiators that their long-departed colleagues experienced years ago.
Pumps handicapped by not using best available technology
Pump lubrication deficiencies are often denied, and the outstanding reliability performance of oil mist is vastly underreported.
Innovations
To test developments of pumps and systems under even more realistic conditions, LEWA has inaugurated a specially developed container test bench that will be used for experiments with hot or explosive fluids.
An evolving approach to digitalization
Much has been written in recent years about the need for refineries to embrace the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Adapting and prospering in the energy transition
The energy transition is gathering momentum as pressure from society leads policy makers and investors to demand faster and deeper cuts to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from all industrial sectors.
Next-generation catalyst improves reliability of LPG mercaptan extraction
For decades, sulfur reduction processes have been an integral part of refinery operations.
