Digital Feature: Enhancing ethylene cracker radiant tube integrity through innovative robotic inspection
Radiant tube failure ranks as a primary cause of unplanned shutdowns in ethylene cracking furnaces. This article examines tube failures via carburization, along with a proprietary technology that provides comprehensive multi-aspect inspection data to mitigate ethylene radiant tube failures.
Design considerations and decarbonization options for fired heaters
As greenhouse gas emissions policies and regulations become more stringent, carbon dioxide emissions have taken center stage, with many nations targeting net-zero carbon emissions.
Digital Feature: The perfect match: How to evaluate chemical resistance and fluid compatibility of materials
Matching the right elastomer to an application is key to ensuring an o-ring's optimal performance and mitigating premature failure.
Implement innovative corrosion management solutions for biofuel refining—Part 2
The production of carbon-neutral and renewable transportation fuels is growing rapidly, driven by the need to find feedstocks beyond fossil resources. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives—along with accelerated consumer demand for sustainable and carbon-negative fuel products—are also driving demand.
CPT testing: An important measure of how stainless steel resists pitting corrosion
Pitting corrosion can seriously impact the service life of stainless steel components in hydrocarbon processing applications.
Implement innovative corrosion management solutions for biofuel refining—Part 1
The production of carbon-neutral and renewable transportation fuels is growing rapidly, driven by the need to find feedstocks beyond fossil resources.
A simplified dynamic approach for storage tank thermal inbreathing rates
Storage tanks that experience sudden heavy rain on what was a hot sunny day can be damaged due to inadequate venting devices.
Added benefits of control-valve environmental packing
Packing selection used to be a straightforward task that played a small part in a valve specification process that was much more involved.
Wastewater reuse potential for heavy industry
As fresh water sources diminish in some areas of the U.S. and around the world, water conservation is becoming increasingly important.
VOC reduction at Raffineria di Milazzo’s SRU complex—Part 2
Based on new environmental regulations focusing on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the emissions point of a refinery’s sulfur recovery unit (SRU), Raffineria di Milazzo—a JV between Eni and Kuwait Petroleum Italia—carried out troubleshooting activities to identify and implement suitable actions to minimize the concentration of VOCs at the emissions point of the SRU complex.
