The ultimate 'clean' fuel – Gas-to-liquid products
New reforming technology enables converting stranded natural gas into low-sulfur syngas
Consider onsite gas supply to meet processing needs
By outsourcing industrial gas sources, refiners can focus resources – capital and manpower – on upgrading crude oil into higher-value products
Noncapital intensive technologies reduce FCC sulfur content – Part 1
Innovative solutions such as catalysts and membranes can be used to navigate the 'roadmap' for clean fuels agenda
Consider a risk-based inspection program to improve safety and availability
Within the framework of a process safety management program, this method helps to minimize maintenance costs and reduce plant risk level
