H2scan has released its latest product in the HY-OPTIMA™ line of sensors.
While it may seem like a simple vessel, the desalter is a critical section in a crude distillation unit.
Hydrocarbon processing plants use reciprocating compressors for process gases in a certain flow and differential pressure range, and double-acting cylinder-piston arrangements are almost always involved.
Digital transformation is a strategy for improving performance by applying technologies for measurement, connectivity, data storage, analytics and visualization
Failure of a piping section at the outlet of pressure safety valves (PSVs) and control valves—where significant differential pressure exists (particularly in gas processing industries)—is a common problem in industries.
Various types of valves are used in refineries, petrochemical plants, fertilizer plants and utilities.
Centrifugal and axial compressors are some of the most critical components used within a process plant to handle gases.
When driving by or visiting a refinery or petrochemical plant, one cannot help but gaze at the expansive sea of metal towers.
Periodically, I receive questions from engineers around the world on why a piece of critical machinery is vibrating excessively.
Liquid pipelines often come across hydraulic transients, which can damage pipelines and associated equipment (i.e., pumps, valves, stations, etc.).
