Refining
Floating-roof technology advances with lessons learned from an 80-year history
Consider these design fundamentals when selecting your storage solution
Optimize revamp projects with a logic-based approach
Retrofitting processing units pose many obstacles. Test-run evaluations uncover limitations from existing infrastructures that can derail project goals
Optimize coker operations
Refiners can update coking units via two methods – recycle or zero-recycle operations. Depending on the capability of downstream units either option can be used as part of clean-fuels program
Revitalize stripping operations with structured packing
Poor stripper performance of FCC spent catalyst burns up products and profits. New retrofit methods cut operating cost and increase product yields
