Sulfur oxide additives are typically based on hydrotalcite or magnesium aluminate spinel-type structures. Magnesium alumina is the pickup agent present in the most effective SO<sub>x</sub> additives on the market; therefore, to optimize SO<sub>x</sub> reduction, it is critical to maximize the amount of the critical magnesium component in the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) in an efficient and cost-effective way.

No excuse for cutting corners on monitoring corrosion

Cosasco: Yule, P.

Corrosion is a major challenge and risk to contain for any oil and gas operator.

How APM in LNG operations can lower TCO and boost ROI

Siemens: Bailie, B.  |  Russell, M. T.

As the world’s hydrocarbon appetite continues its rapid turn toward lighter fare (e.g., natural gas for power generation, transportation and industry), massive, near-term investments in global, capital-intensive, fully digitalized LNG infrastructure are needed.
