The growing energy needs of a rapidly developing world cannot be sustainably met without reducing energy intensity. Industry must reduce energy intensity 4 times faster than the improvements it achieved over the last decade. This improvement rate must be sustained through 2050 to meet global Net Zero targets. At Schneider Electric we have identified 5 key response levers to be addressed. Energy efficiency & management is the first and most important in the near term.

Industrial heat pumps offer an efficient, low-carbon solution to recycle waste heat in the hydrocarbon and industrial sectors. By leveraging low-grade heat sources like cooling water and compressor waste, these systems generate usable heat or steam, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Proven reliable and adaptable, heat pumps are increasingly employed in high-temperature applications, CCUS technologies, and hydrogen processes. With advancements in efficiency and integration, they play a critical role in the energy transition and industrial decarbonization.

Hydrocarbon processing facilities may experience excessive pressure drop at the inlet of their pressure relief valves (PRVs). This is problematic because it can lead to valve instability or chatter and also potentially result in OSHA fines. This whitepaper discusses several inlet pressure loss mitigation options to improve the overall stability and reliability of a PRV installation and examines why a restricted lift PRV is the best option.

Within the xylene loop, the main challenge is to efficiently remove ethylbenzene while minimizing xylene loss. By implementing a xylene isomerization process, users achieve energy savings through both reduced traffic in the xylene loop and lower temperature requirement of the high activity isomerization catalyst. The technical paper also showcases an example of a commercial retrofit with associated benefits through Idemitsu Kosan in Japan.
