According to Hydrocarbon Processing’s Construction Boxscore Database, more than 290 new projects have been announced in 2020.
The global hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) continues to expand and modernize to efficiently meet growing demand for energy, transportation fuels and petrochemicals.
Hydrocarbon Processing’s Construction Boxscore Database is tracking nearly 1,400 projects around the world.
Centrifugal and axial compressors are some of the most critical components used within a process plant to handle gases.
When driving by or visiting a refinery or petrochemical plant, one cannot help but gaze at the expansive sea of metal towers.
A process plant’s pressure relief and flare systems are critical safety elements.
For the petrochemical industry, the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) has the locational advantage of proximity to cheap feedstock, and to an abundance of pipeline infrastructure and terminals for export markets.
Liquid pipelines often come across hydraulic transients, which can damage pipelines and associated equipment (i.e., pumps, valves, stations, etc.).
