For nearly a decade, capital investments in new petrochemical capacity have skyrocketed. This
Where process fluid must be maintained within a certain operating temperature window, the piping will likely require the application of a thermal maintenance system.
Centrifugal compressors are designed with different suction nozzle orientations and impeller layouts in casing.
A critical objective of engineers who design an automatic protection system is to lower the false trip rate and to lower a key metric called average probability of failure on demand (PFDavg).
Sour water stripping is a common process in petroleum refineries and other processes where hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is present.
Pyrolysis gasoline (pygas) is a by-produced fraction of hydrocarbons generated from a steam cracker.
The refining industry links the upstream production of crude oil with the end markets for fuel products, as well as for the petrochemical/chemical industry.
A sour water stripper (SWS) system is a common process in petroleum refineries and other processes where hydrogen sulfide is present.
Revamping an existing column in an operating plant for higher throughput is a challenge, especially when the column is already operating at its rated capacity.
