Viewpoint—Industry 4.0: Demystifying the next big thing in oil and gas
Until a few years ago, the term Industrial Revolution referred to the significant technological changes that began in the late 1700s with the advent of the steam engine, leading to the mechanization of work and the unprecedented economic growth and prosperity that followed.
Bringing Industry 4.0 to the terminal
The oil and gas industry is no stranger to the power of Industry 4.0 solutions that aggregate sensor and planning/forecasting data into a single shared view, as well as deliver valuable analytics and real-time alerting capabilities.
Process design consideration for a deep-cut vacuum distillation unit—Part 1
In the recent past, many US refineries have been reconfigured to process heavy opportunistic sour crudes.
Revamp results for CCR catalytic reforming unit with atmospheric regenerator
The reformate market is changing.
New cable sealing system offers cost and maintenance savings for processing plants
Miles of cables of various diameters are routed into new process plants, industrial plants, petrochemical plants, refineries and other industrial applications.
Advanced process control metrics: Closing the loop on APC performance
For more than 30 yr, advanced process control (APC) has established itself as an important and relatively routine and valued part of the industrial process control and operation landscape.
Dynamic simulation for FGRS design and controllability analysis
In this study, a dynamic model of a flare gas recovery system (FGRS) with a high-pressure eductor compression system was developed in a dynamic simulation for process design verification, control scheme evaluation and an availability study.
Improve refinery production and efficiency with asset monitoring
The sheer volume of equipment in a refinery—from vessels, columns, huge structures and mazes of pipes to pumps, valves, controllers and instruments—is staggering.
