Hydrodesulfurization units are used in a petroleum refinery to process a variety of feeds to alter composition via the addition of hydrogen.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory facilitated a partnership between The US Department of Energy's Fuel Cell Technologies Office and Department of Interior's National Park Service to demonstrate hydrogen technologies in the Washington, D.C. area.
Summarizing the outcome of the technical evaluation in Part 1 of this technical study, a tailor-made process route should be chosen for proper C4 hydrocarbon processing to obtain the best benefits from case to case.
Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide represent major concerns for the hydrocarbon industry. Both species are contaminants and, since their use as feedstock is minor, are considered troubling byproducts.
This example shows a simple method by which boiler leaks can be detected before it is too late.
Through this plant study, a licensor demonstrates effective use of rigorous dynamic simulation tools to implement the new control schemes and configurations.
The Bulo Bulo ammonia-urea facility will be Bolivia’s first petrochemical venture. This new facility is expected to produce sufficient urea/ammonia supplies for domestic demand and will provide surplus product for export.
The abundance of shale oils is an unexpected gift for US refiners. These new crude oils have different characteristics from conventional oils that will affect refining processes and the operation of p..
The outlook is optimistic for downstream companies. Independent refiners are positive on present and future demand for transportation fuels.
