This whitepaper discusses cost-effective solutions to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions. The solutions outlined are available to be implemented as part of existing turnaround cycles and are proven to dramatically reduce scope 1 and scope 3 emissions (CO2 by up to 20% and NOx by up to 40%), enabling refineries to operate at full capacity whilst meeting emissions targets.

The most pressing challenges for biofuel producers are maintaining the flexibility to handle feedstock variability, ensure equipment reliability, and meet the requirements for low-carbon outputs and complex regulatory standards.

Download this ebook to learn how refiners can leverage advanced measurement and automation technologies to optimize operational performance in the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel (RD), as well as build in flexibility to meet demand and changing requirements.

The hidden dangers of corrosion under insulation (CUI) and chloride stress corrosion cracking (CSCC) are especially prevalent on assets used in the production of liquified natural gas. However, newer liquid coatings offer facilities the opportunity to mitigate corrosion far longer than previous options, helping owners extend coating maintenance schedules, reduce operational costs and enhance safety. Learn more about these advanced CUI-mitigation solutions in this informative paper.

For accurate and reliable measurement of gas contaminants, it is critical that the instrument is sensitive only to the contaminant itself and is not impacted by any variance in the gas stream composition. Download this white paper to learn how the variance, also known as cross-interference, can be managed by Sensi+ natural gas analyzer.

Download this technical white paper to learn how ABB's Advanced Leak Detection Systems use next-generation, ultra-high-precision gas sensors to detect and characterize the location and the source type, and to quantify fugitive gas emissions. ABB's MobileGuard system detects methane and ethane with parts-per-billion precision along with wind speed and direction to accurately detect natural gas emissions in a variety of environments. By analyzing this raw data, ABB's innovative algorithms can extract the presence of emissions and estimate the location and flux (emission rate) of emitted natural gas.

An ‘energy trilemma’ of rising feedstock costs, a volatile market and pressure to decarbonize operations faces petrochemical process engineers. Aggreko’s white paper, Process Matters: Rethinking Energy in European Petrochemicals, examines these challenges and how hire can help optimize cooling and process control, based on insights from a survey of 604 process engineers.

Refinery laboratories face the challenge of analyzing hundreds of fuel samples daily, with medium-sized facilities handling around 250 and large ones up to 500. Traditional tools like gas chromatographs, densitometers, and knock engines are widely used but are time-consuming. Solid-state Raman spectroscopy offers rapid, precise analysis of gasoline, jet, and diesel fuel fuels, providing multiple properties within seconds. This paper outlines the methodology for obtaining reliable Raman spectra and utilizing the data to inform decision-making effectively.

To meet the Paris Agreement goals for global warming, the world needs to reduce emissions by unprecedented volume—and at unparalleled speed.
