These processes operate near the critical locus of the process gases .. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2015/april-2015/hpi-focus-new-vs-debottlenecking/bolivia-expands-petrochemical-capability-with-bulo-bulo-ammonia-complex/ The Bulo Bulo ammonia-urea facility will be Bolivia’s first petrochemical venture. This new facility is expected to produce sufficient urea/ammonia supplies for domestic demand and will provide surplus product for export. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2015/march-2015/special-report-corrosion-control/how-caustic-stress-leads-to-failures-of-incinerator-caustic-spray-nozzles/ Frequent failures of the waste spray nozzles in incinerators result in accelerated degradation of the refractory lining, requiring unscheduled shutdowns for repairs. A study was carried out to identify the factors that contributed to the nozzle failure and to prevent the reoccurrence of similar failures in the future. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2015/march-2015/special-report-corrosion-control/extend-heat-exchanger-lifecycle-with-hyper-duplex-stainless-steel/ Intensifying performance demands in refineries, coupled with the ongoing decline in crude oil quality, require a new and improved duplex SS grade to withstand increasingly tough operating conditions. This need has led to the development of hyper-duplex stainless steels. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2015/march-2015/trends-and-resources/hp-innovations/ Corrosion prevention for high-TAN refiningFor petroleum refiners, improving profitability by processing high-total-acid-number (high-TAN) crude oils requires an investment in high-temperature corrosio.. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2015/february-2015/trends-and-resources/hp-innovations/ AVEVA NET software is cloud readyAVEVA has implemented a number of improvements to AVEVA NET, its information management software (Fig. 1). Customer feedback has shown that these improvements enhance ..
