Refineries and chemical processing plants are complicated to model, control and optimize.

Innovations

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Rhodes, Mike

H2scan has released its latest product in the HY-OPTIMA™ line of sensors.

How to support condition monitoring with wireless instrumentation networks

Emerson: Cureton, A.

When <i>Wireless</i>HART first hit the market in 2008, most of the native devices using it were process measurement instruments.

Applying tools to strengthen safety and risk management

Emerson: Pinto, N.

The same characteristics that make hydrocarbons useful as fuels can also make refineries, and any other areas where processing or storage takes place, potentially dangerous.

Digital: Harnessing the power of digital platforms to improve plant performance and increase customer success

ExxonMobil: Ratcliff, K.

Digital online platforms offer significant potential benefits across the oil and gas value chain by employing advanced analytical tools and near-real-time access to technical expertise to improve day-to-day plant performance.

Virtual analyzers: Shaping the future of product quality

Validere: Robinson, P.  |  O'Hara, T.

Product quality directly drives price and where hydrocarbons can be delivered.

Achieve refinery cost savings with real-time hydrogen monitoring

H2scan: Herman, G.

As stay-at-home orders and state mandates to shelter in place made waves around the globe in early 2020, nearly every industry was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Editorial Comment: Optimizing operations by advancing process controls, instrumentation and automation technologies

Hydrocarbon Processing Staff: Nichols, Lee

When driving by or visiting a refinery or petrochemical plant, one cannot help but gaze at the expansive sea of metal towers.

Extracting business value from digitalization in oil and gas

Petasense: Bradley, D.

Most oil and gas companies are investing in digitalization; however, they often fail to move beyond proof of value (PoV) or pilot projects.

Increase uptime by reducing systematic failure risk

Endress+Hauser: Siew, H.

Pondering the history of industrial incidents, it would be incorrect to assume that most failures occur randomly.
