Special Focus: Plant Design, Engineering, Construction and Commissioning
Evaporation and crystallization techniques have many applications in the chemical, fertilizer, metallurgical, chlor-alkali, pigment and dye, food, ash treatment and zero-liquid discharge process industries, among others.
If you are involved in the delivery of capital projects, there is a good chance that you may have heard, or even used, expressions such as, “We have a resource-loaded schedule,” “We are behind schedule, so let’s add more resources,” or “We need to increase our capacity.”
This article provides deep insight to piping layout engineers, presenting a holistic/systematic approach for pipe spacing based on different pipe supports—e.g., rest, guide, shoe and clamps (rather than assuming spacing based on 50-mm or 75-mm clearance between pipes).
To fulfill the climate goals of limiting the rise in global temperatures, green hydrogen has emerged as an alternate unconventional fuel.
Heat Transfer
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.
A computational fluid dynamics study was performed on a theoretical reforming furnace to determine the comparative results of flow uniformity in flue gas tunnels with and without a standing tunnel in the outer position.
Process Optimization
This work will detail the available processing routes capable of maximizing propylene yield in refineries, allowing refiners to gain advantage from the propylene market.
Chillers are extensively used in industrial, manufacturing and commercial facilities.
Digital Technologies
Most of us have used licensed software—whether a personal computer operating system, a word processor or something less mainstream—consistently.
Biofuels, Alternative/Renewable Fuels
The search to find alternatives to petroleum-based transportation fuels is nothing new.
Carbon Capture/CO2 Mitigation
Carbon capture has the potential to significantly decarbonize emissions from industrial facilities.
Columns
According to data from Gulf Energy Information’s Global Energy Infrastructure database, total active projects in the hydrocarbon processing industry have increased nearly 30% year-over-year.
Trends and Resources
Endress+Hauser’s newly developed iTEMP TMT31 temperature transmitter for analog 4-20mA signals is characterized by its long-term stability, high accuracy and ease of use for reliable temperature measurement.
