History of the HPI: The 1970s: Crises, clean air, plastic bottles and the DCS
The 1970s were marked by several historical events that affected not only the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) but nations around the world.
Xylene-loop scheme for minimized GHG emissions and PX production cost
Molecular management, energy efficiency and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions have become major focuses for petrochemical complexes, including aromatics plants.
Topsoe technology to support Cresta’s renewable diesel and SAF production in Canada
Cresta has chosen Topsoe’s HydroFlex solution for revamping the Braya Renewable Fuels refinery in Newfoundland, Canada.
Managing complexity in engineering and construction projects
It is widely accepted that new management methods are needed to curb the frequent delays and cost overruns observed in engineering and construction projects.
Sustainable refinery of the future: Versatile, efficient and smart
Greenhouse gas emissions occur alongside an inflection point for global refined product consumption. Since the 1850s—when the first oil refineries were constructed—the world has changed dramatically as refined product demand has continued inexorably upward.
Sensitivity analysis of a plug flow reactor
A sensitivity analysis study evaluates uncertainties in a model’s output based on the changes in the input parameters of the model.
Save energy and reduce CO2 emissions with closed-loop optimization of utilities networks
Oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical companies face the difficult challenge of maximizing profitability while achieving aggressive decarbonization objectives set for 2030 and beyond.
HP Flashback: Excerpts from the 1960s: Petrochemicals rise in prominence and new know-how in refining processes
