http://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com Hydrocarbon Processing http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/april-2024/hydrogen/the-concern-of-co-emissions/ No refinery can operate without hydrogen (H₂) because it is needed in all hydroprocessing technologies to remove sulfurous impurities and produce products at the correct specifications. With each passing day, the importance of H₂ in refineries is increasing as crude oil gets heavier and more sour while product specifications are simultaneously getting tighter. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/april-2024/trends-and-resources/innovations-electric-valve-actuator-achieves-csa-class-1-div-2-hazardous-location-certification/ Curtiss-Wright’s Actuation Division’s new Exlar Tritex® electric valve actuator (EVA) has achieved CSA Class 1, Div. 2 (C1D2) Hazardous Location certification. It also outperformed U.S. oil and gas producers’ expectations for rugged field test operations in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/march-2024/plant-design-engineering-construction-and-commissioning/pellet-handling-system-for-polyolefin-plants-are-you-specifying-it-correctly/ Product pellets produced in polyolefin plants—such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP)—require transportation from the unit to the end users that process these pellets to manufacture different end-use plastic products. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/march-2024/valves-pumps-compressors-and-turbomachinery/directly-calculate-pipe-diameters-through-valves-and-fittings-under-a-turbulent-flow-regime/ Calculating pipe diameters through long, straight pipes is executed in classic fluid flow problems using traditional trial-and-error methods or by complex equations. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/march-2024/trends-and-resources/innovations-digital-valve-controller-offers-embedded-edge-computing-to-streamline-workflows-optimize-performance/ In late 2023, Emerson released its Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ DVC7K Digital Valve Controller, a new design improving upon 30 yr of field-proven innovation. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/february-2024/environment-and-safety/practical-examples-and-considerations-in-designing-emergency-depressurizing-systems/ Process operating facilities typically process large inventories of gas and volatile hydrocarbon liquids at high pressures, which have the potential of posing major hazards during emergency incidents—such as fire, loss of containment or operating excursion. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/february-2024/tanks-terminals-and-storage/maximum-fill-volume-in-propane-butane-and-lpg-pressurized-storage-tanks/ Large volumes of flammable hydrocarbons are stored inside different storage tanks in gas, oil and petrochemical plants. In addition to maximizing profitability, the optimum design of process units and storage facilities must consider safety concerns to avoid catastrophic accidents. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/january-2024/heat-transfer/optimizing-combustion-processes-for-safety-and-efficiency/ Combustion processes are critical for producing heat and power in nearly every industry. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/january-2024/trends-and-resources/innovations-new-ai-powered-carbon-emissions-management-software/ GE Vernova’s Digital business has released its CERius™, a carbon emissions management software designed to help energy companies progress toward their net-zero goals using data precision and abatement planning capabilities. http://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/01/curtiss-wright-exlar-announces-new-tritex-eva-for-oil-gas-valve-actuation/ Curtiss-Wright’s Actuation Division announced that its new Exlar Tritex EVA electric valve actuator has achieved CSA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Location certification.
