Oil refiners' gathering storm: Help is on the way
Heavy oil upgrading could be key in calming the potentially dangerous turbulence generated by the global heavy oil/ light oil imbalance
Insert flexibility into your hydrogen network – Part 1
Advancements in refinery hydrogen management, technology and utility network can optimize existing and new systems
Consider using reverse jet scrubber technology for FCC offgases
Installing this technology helped a refinery meet its air and particulate emissions
Fine-tune FCC operations for changing fuels market
New technology improves FCC performance and operational reliability
Upgrade FCC-feed hydrotreating
New study indicates that optimized pretreatment of FCC streams can yield clean, direct blending streams for gasoline and diesel
Upgrade alkylation for refining environment
Changes to blending specifications will require refiners to use more alkylate to maintain octane levels and driveability indexes
Maximize propylene yields
New developments in FCC additives and catalyst management increase C3 make
Consider modifying your refinery to handle heavy opportunity crude oils
To process high-sulfur crudes, refiners must retrofit older processing units to capitalize on 'dirty' feedstocks
Optimize turnaround projects
Effective planning can eliminate surprises during shutdown and construction
