Cleaning mud oil incineration offgases
The sustainable management of petroleum exploration and refining requires appropriate treatment and disposal of the oily waste generated.
Gas-side fouling effects on transfer-line exchangers
Transfer-line exchangers (TLEs) are specific shell-and-tube heat exchangers installed out of hydrocarbons steam cracking furnaces for olefins production.
Sustainability through efficiency: A plan for the refining industry
The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions will decrease through 2050 in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD), which includes the U.S.<sup>1</sup>
Advanced methods for controlling boiler tube corrosion and fouling—Part 2
In Part 1 of this article, the authors covered techniques for minimizing corrosion and contaminant ingress from condensate return and feedwater to industrial steam generators.

Are furnace emissions proving to be your Achilles heel?
Furnaces, or fired heaters, provide the source of heat required for major industrial processes.
Getting the most out of your process burner tiles
It is often incorrectly assumed that the burner tile is simply a piece of refractory or firebrick. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Reasons for vibration issues in boilers and furnaces
A conversation with a long-time colleague at an industry trade show inspired me to think about one of the most confounding problems that occur in boilers and furnaces: vibration.
Optimize the selection of sulfur unit blocks and process technology combinations
Since the 1940s, the present form of the Claus sulfur recovery unit (SRU) has been successfully applied in the refining and gas processing industries.
