Process engineers must continuously monitor the health and performance of process units.
In response to challenges related to global warming, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, numerous countries are adopting regulatory measures requiring industry to further improve energy efficiency.
Bearings are precision components; to survive, they require clean lubricants in adequate amounts.
Since its inception in 1922, Hydrocarbon Processing—originally called Petroleum Refiner when first published—has focused on delivering the latest refining technologies to readers around the world.
Petrochemical demand will increase with gross domestic product, while the demand for motor fuels will only show modest growth and may even decline in certain regions, given environmental/legislative pressures and the introduction of battery-powered electric vehicles.

U.S. Gulf Coast margins increased, supported by unplanned refinery outages that limited a stronger recovery in run rates and kept product outputs relatively supressed.
Due to growing global environmental awareness in recent decades, the petrochemical industries have been seeking more cost-effective construction solutions.
Production requirements for more valuable refined products and/or increased refining flexibility are increasing due to new regulations.
Last month, Hydrocarbon Processing hosted the International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC).
