Artificial intelligence (AI) has caused a significant buzz not only within the hydrocarbon processing industry but also in everyday activities.
Last month, Hydrocarbon Processing presented its mid-year market update to a global audience.
Production requirements for more valuable refined products and/or increased refining flexibility are increasing due to new regulations.
Last month, Hydrocarbon Processing hosted the International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC).
The crude oil refining processing sequence is based on the separation of distillate products from heavier ones and concentrating the heavy molecules of the barrel for processing at the end of the refining run.
Modern commercial ethylbenzene (EB) plants use liquid-phase alkylation processes with zeolite catalysts to achieve high product yields.
Optimization—the action of making the best or most effective use of a situation or resource—is not a term that the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) takes lightly: it is a way of life.
This month, Hydrocarbon Processing will be hosting two events—one to showcase the latest in processing technologies in the refining and petrochemicals markets, and the other to provide an update on the latest trends, initiatives and capital project investments in the global hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI).
As recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic begins, so will a return to normal life.
