Inadequate equipment selection can lead to unplanned downtime and lost profits for refiners. This is especially true when it comes to selecting fired heater air-preheaters, since the conventional tubular and plate type varietals are prone to single point failure and acid gas condensation risk.

This white paper explores how Econotherm’s heat pipe heat exchanger technology is transforming the fired heater air-preheating landscape. By offering refiners a robust solution with multiple redundancies, heat pipe heat exchangers ultimately increase the reliability of heat recovery loops, lower the total cost of ownership for the refiner, and enable incremental energy recovery.

This white paper explores how refiners and petrochemical operators can sustain reliability and efficiency as turnaround intervals extend. It highlights integrated, out-of-turnaround solutions that restore performance without shutdowns. Real-world case studies demonstrate measurable gains in efficiency, asset life, and uptime, helping plants reduce risk, protect margins, and operate continuously between major outages.

A major Canadian oil company producing steam-stripped ULSD faced production risk when conventional coalescers failed to remove dispersed water, leading to costly short-term mitigation measures. The refinery implemented Pall’s AquaSep^® coalescer technology, which consistently delivered clear and bright, on-spec diesel and maintained performance which helped ensure uninterrupted operations.

AI delivers greater value when supported by a unified, high‑quality data foundation. As operational complexity rises, fragmented systems limit visibility and slow strategic decisions. Modern data platforms integrate real‑time enterprise data to strengthen efficiency, reliability and sustainability. Learn how BASF, Bayer and TotalEnergies use AspenTech’s Industrial Data Fabric to centralize operational data at scale, driving measurable performance gains and enabling enterprise‑wide AI adoption.

Autonomous operations are poised to redefine industrial performance, offering transformative benefits in efficiency, safety, sustainability, and competitiveness. They will be soon be essential for achieving sustained commercial and technical excellence, and net-zero goals. The transition to autonomous operations is not optional—it is inevitable. However, realizing its full potential requires a holistic, enterprise-wide transformation that aligns technology, people, and processes. Organizations that lead this change will gain a significant competitive edge in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.

Are you ready to elevate your biofuel production and achieve your sustainability goals?

With over 90 years of energy sector expertise, the refinery sought to expand its biofuel capacity and lead the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market. However, filter clogging and catalyst contamination threatened their progress.

Pall responded with speed and expertise, delivering Ultipleat^® High Flow and High Flow Vector^™ filter housings that:

• Extended operational uptime from hours to weeks
• Enabled continuous processing of diverse vegetable oils
• Prevented costly shutdowns and catalyst replacements
• Significantly reduced operational and maintenance costs

Discover how a leading European refinery overcame critical operational challenges and enhanced production yields through Pall’s optimized filtration solutions.

Analyzing flare gases to meet regulatory requirements can be challenging. Process mass spectrometry (MS) is uniquely suited for this with its fast, accurate multicomponent analysis.

The Thermo Scientific™ Prima PRO magnetic sector MS can monitor flare gas streams and multiple process streams for greater root cause analysis. Along with complete compositional analysis, it provides accurate fuel gas properties, helping to ensure waste gases are completely combusted so unburned pollutants aren’t emitted from the flare.
