Project Management
Evaluating effects of changes in process plant design
A thorough understanding of the engineering, procurement and construction sequences is vital to comprehensively quantify all potential schedule and cost impacts during the pricing, review and approval process
Determining the true economic value of improved plant information
A new method is proposed for estimating benefits of the technology
Trends in laser scanning systems to support revamp, retrofit projects
Compared with the traditional site surveying techniques and measurement practices, engineering cost savings of up to 15% have been achieved
Avoid distorted translations of technical terms
Knowing accurate English and Spanish usage diminishes risk of costly operational hazards
Benefits of pre-engineered modules
As petrochemical manufacturing and refining organizations become leaner, even mature technologies are candidates for vendor designed, engineered and fabricated systems
Fine-tune your listening skills
Active listening is one of the most important tools a leader can apply. It facilitates greater understanding of situations, challenges and, most importantly, of the people who do the work
Industry Developments
Gas Processes The demand for natural gas (NG) continues to increase and, in some cases, exceeds available supply. Thus, producers are expanding all opportunities to bring more NG to consuming market..
Control microbial growth in your cooling water
Proper monitoring and chemical dosing can alleviate this challenge
Leveraging a globalized work force
If managed with discipline, a workshare approach can yield significant benefits for all project stakeholders
