Evaluating pressure recovery turbines as a clean energy solution
Petroleum refining is an energy intensive process. Although the level of energy efficiency, in general, is relatively higher in oil refining compared to the steel or cement sectors, there is still a scope for improvement.
Samsung C&T to build Korea's fist ammonia import terminal for co-firing power generation
The terminal will include facilities for storing, unloading, and transporting ammonia. A 30,000-ton storage tank will be used to compress and store ammonia for co-firing power generation. The terminal will also use a fuel blend comprised of at least 20% ammonia for co-firing with coal to reduce carbon emissions.
Transitioning to an electrified future
As countries responsible for 75% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions set net-zero targets, oil and gas, chemicals and other energy-intensive process industries are under increasing pressure to decarbonize.
Maintenance keeps refineries and petrochemical plants healthy
The maintenance of industrial chemical plants is essential to protect and restore equipment, circuits and systems to enhance their function and provide efficient operations.
Optimization for the trigeneration of industrial waste
Many corporations are moving toward sustainable operations for their processes. One alternative pathway to reduce fossil fuels consumption in a processing plant is through harvesting waste heat from industrial waste through combined heat and power (CHP), or what is commonly known as cogeneration or polygeneration.
Process design considerations for green ammonia manufacturing
To fulfill the climate goals of limiting the rise in global temperatures, green hydrogen has emerged as an alternate unconventional fuel.
Case study: Gas turbine generator fleet optimization
Cost reduction has always been an important focus for industrial plants to improve their bottom lines.
Honeywell's path to decarbonization: Leak detection, energy efficiency and asset optimization
Reducing emissions is a significant challenge several industries face, with multiple pathways being taken to increase sustainability. At Honeywell Users Group 2023, Ravi Srinivasan delivered a presentation titled “Overcoming emission challenges: The path to net zero.” Srinivasan highlighted several avenues for reducing emissions, such as proactive leak detection and remediation, energy efficiency solutions, hydrogen (H2), carbon capture, renewable fuels and offsets.
Accelerating the energy transition with advanced self-service analytics
As companies in the manufacturing process industry explore sustainable ways to manage their energy use, engineers are finding that the deadline for drastically reducing carbon emissions is approaching rapidly.
Sulzer develops gas turbine solution for Chinese powerplant
Sulzer has developed and implemented a modular retrofit solution to help a gas turbine powerplant in Jiangsu Province, China, reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and comply with a stringent new emissions standard.
