Accurate rate-based modeling of acid gas and mercaptan removal using hybrid solvents
Prediction of mercaptan removal from natural gas streams with liquid solvents presents significant challenges. Using an extensive experimental data collection campaign and recently improved thermodynamic models, an innovative solution has overcome these challenges and developed a rate-based model to accurately predict mercaptan removal performance.
Air Liquide opens California CO2 liquefaction plant
The facility captures carbon dioxide emissions from an ethanol plant owned by Calgren Renewable Fuels. The carbon dioxide recovered is then purified and liquefied by Air Liquide.
HP Industry Perspectives: RFS—An endless loop
Renewable fuels remain a huge burden for the global refining industry. Today’s transportation fuels, when used with later-model vehicles, have dramatically reduced tailpipe emissions. With much p..
Haldor Topsoe, FLSmidth to jointly market catalytic filter bag technology
The product’s integrated process can reduce the cost of off-gas cleaning and differs from the standard of using separate stand-alone systems to address removal of specific compounds.
Honeywell begins production of new low-GWP blowing agent, propellant
Honeywell projects that use of its low GWP Solstice materials to replace HFCs will eliminate more than 350 metric MMt in CO2 equivalents by 2025.
Shell Cansolv starts testing advanced CO2 capture process at Norway hub
The testing will take place at TCM’s amine test facility, confirming Shell Cansolv’s processes and emission controls using exhaust gas from the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant at Mongstad.
HP Industry Perspectives: More waves for marine fuels
The outlook for heavy fuel oil is not optimistic. New fuel specifications for marine bunker fuels under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Annex VI regula..
Hydrogen perspectives for 21st century refineries
As refining market trends continue to support increased demand for H2, its availability and cost are critical for many refiners, creating a tough environment for securing reliable, efficient and environmentally-friendly H2.
Mitigate H2S exposure from unconventional crudes
Personal exposure risks associated with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) historically have been a concern during the refining, storage and transportation of hydrocarbons. Recently, with the surge in production,..
Can the downstream achieve growth and sustainability?
The global hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) is transforming beyond typical technical and management forms. This industry is making progress, and it is achieving more sustainability practices. Suc..
