Production of renewable fuels in existing refinery assets: A cost-effective coprocessing strategy
Vegetable oils are a renewable biomass resource used in the production of biofuels. Biodiesel production from transesterification of vegetable oils (fatty acid methyl ester, or FAME) is the primary route for producing biofuels from vegetable oils.
Case histories of amine plant equipment corrosion problems–Part 2
Past corrosion incidents provide insight into the causes of corrosion and the preventive actions required to protect plant equipment and reduce costly plant downtime.

Case histories of amine plant equipment corrosion problems–Part 1
Lost production from corrosion costs the oil and gas industry more than $1 B/yr.1
Optimizing the dehydration process with advanced process simulation
In the operation of natural gas pipelines, a blockage or leak can cause expensive production losses, damage equipment and pose safety hazards.
Heavy crude oil processing design and reliability
Revamping refineries to process heavier crude slates goes well beyond the requirements to meet equipment performance dictated by a shift in the quantity of lighter product yields to heavier products.
Improve removal of phenolic and amine compounds in a sour water stripper
Joint stripping in a refinery sour water stripper (SWS) unit contributes to the concentration of phenols and total nitrogen (N) in the discharged treated water from the wastewater treatment unit.
