Analyzers
Support robust process safety management platforms with less reliance on incident investigations
Accepting that incidents are inevitable can be considered a form of institutionalized normalization of deviance.
Measure and predict torsional vibration in rotating equipment
Excessive torsional vibration in rotating equipment trains can result in damage to, or failure of, equipment, leading to emergency shutdowns and costly downtime.
An evolving approach to digitalization
Much has been written in recent years about the need for refineries to embrace the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Adapting and prospering in the energy transition
The energy transition is gathering momentum as pressure from society leads policy makers and investors to demand faster and deeper cuts to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from all industrial sectors.
Advanced crude management by NIR spectroscopy combined with topology modeling
Crude characterization is critical for refinery optimization.
Innovations
Librestream and ecom, a Pepperl+Fuchs brand, have collaborated on an innovation for asset analysis and safety inspections in hazardous locations: the Onsight Cube-Ex wearable camera.
Raman spectroscopy for the optimization of hydrogen usage in refineries
Approximately 700 refineries are in operation worldwide, producing a range of petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, liquified petroleum gas (LPG) and fuel oils.
Mitigating corrosion challenges from opportunity crudes
High-quality crudes are not always readily available, or at a price that is acceptable to the producer’s budget.
HP Awards 2018 Best Analyzer Technology
In 2018, more than 80 nominations were submitted from 18 countries for the HP Awards. Each abstract was voted on by an independent Hydrocarbon Processing advisory board. Here's a look back at the winner for the Best Analyzer Technology in 2018.
Case study for a high-performing refinery loss control program
Most refineries have some sort of mass balance and loss control program in place for accounting, planning and scheduling, as well as for financial and operational evaluation purposes.
