Compressors
Improve the reliability of a CO2 compressor in a urea synthesis/granulation plant
The carbon dioxide compressor is one of the key major equipment in a urea production plant that produces fertilizers.
Double-suction centrifugal compressor in ethylene plant inlet piping design
Centrifugal compressors are designed with different suction nozzle orientations and impeller layouts in casing.
Industry Perspectives
With the increasing prominence of hydrogen technologies circulating into the global market, Gulf Energy Information—publisher of <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> and <i>Gas Processing & LNG</i>—has launched our latest publication: <i>H2Tech</i>.
How to support condition monitoring with wireless instrumentation networks
When <i>Wireless</i>HART first hit the market in 2008, most of the native devices using it were process measurement instruments.
Modular reed valve technology for reciprocating compressors
Hydrocarbon processing plants use reciprocating compressors for process gases in a certain flow and differential pressure range, and double-acting cylinder-piston arrangements are almost always involved.
Advances in compressor anti-surge valve design enhance reliability and performance
Centrifugal and axial compressors are some of the most critical components used within a process plant to handle gases.
Selecting the right rotary control valve
The primary function of a control valve is to regulate flow. Accurate, consistent and reliable performance of this task affects many important process unit or plant metrics,
Unconventional improvement of propylene recovery yield at the PP splitter
Thermocompression-equipped propane-propylene (PP) splitters are used to upgrade large quantities of refinery-grade propylene (RGP) to polymer-grade propylene (PGP).
Engineering Case Histories: Case 110: A checklist for vibration analysis
Periodically, I receive questions from engineers around the world on why a piece of critical machinery is vibrating excessively.
High-pressure gas compressor dry gas seal system enhancement case study
The Khurais producing department (KhPD) consists of four oil trains: each oil train is responsible for receiving, stabilizing and purifying the crude oil from the wells by removing sand, water, gas and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) contents to make the oil ready for use and shipment to refineries.
