From refining to chemical production processes, heaters play an essential role in hydrocarbon processing applications.
Estimation of relief load and realistic relieving temperature for heavy-end fractionating columns
Relief calculation is one of the most discussed aspects of chemical engineering design.
Projects as programs: A vision for long-term project success
Process industries across the globe grapple with producing dozens or even hundreds of different products.
Fatigue damage assessment of coke drums based on temperature monitoring
Coke drums are expensive equipment with a long manufacturing cycle, so a realistic and accurate life prediction can save significant time and money.
Asset life assessment: A strategic reliability tool for the process industries
Asset life assessment (ALA) has become a strategic tool for process plants (e.g., petrochemical, chemical, and oil and gas) to determine the extent of degradation and the ability of assets to bear static and dynamic loads while sustaining the desired production processes.
Address measurement uncertainty in pipelines and storage
How would you measure the volume of a can of soup? The height should work, but what about diameter? Or, you can possibly just trust what the manufacturer has told you on the label.
Analyze machinery failure data with a spreadsheet
Some basic, yet insightful, machinery reliability tracking tools are introduced here that can be developed with common spreadsheet applications, such as Excel.
Digital: The pathway to digitalization value delivery
It seems that all software initiatives in the energy and chemical industries are now tagged with the name “digitalization.”
