Corrosion
Executive Viewpoint: How digital transformation improves safety and reduces emissions
Digital transformation is a strategy for improving performance by applying technologies for measurement, connectivity, data storage, analytics and visualization
Protect your assets and our environment
Process cooling usually comprises the largest part of the water footprint of a refinery or petrochemical plant.
Safety: Addressing corrosion at petrochemical plants starts with carbon
Maintaining the structural integrity of a pipeline is a significant investment of time and resources for organizations in the oil and gas industry.

Hydrocarbon Processing Awards 2020—FINALISTS
This special section details all finalists within each category for the fourth annual <ital>HP</ital> Awards. The winners will be announced on Oct. 1.
Advanced analytics drive IIoT success
Refineries and petrochemical plants face similar challenges in daily operations. Each must mitigate risk, anticipate maintenance, optimize operations and minimize expenses. To achieve these goals, plant personnel rely heavily on data to drive decisions.
Advanced cooling tower water treatment—Part 1
Refineries, petrochemical plants and similar facilities rely on a significant number of heat exchangers for process control and product formulation throughout the plant.
Selecting the right gas analyzer to optimize monitoring of NOx and other emissions
Combustion processes of all types generate emissions of one kind or another.
Demineralized water system design: Considerations for the petrochemical industry—Part 1
Site utility leads, engineers and other professionals in the hydrocarbon/chemical processing industries (HPI/CPI) are facing a perfect storm of increasing demineralized water demand, end of life of existing demineralized water plant equipment, changing source water quality, corporate directives to diversify water sources, and pressure from regulators and community stakeholders to minimize the volume of waste generated from water treatment.
Leveraging modern flow technologies to improve safety in refineries
The refining industry is facing increased pressures, such as crude oil supply changes, changing product distributions and increasing regulations. These pressure points create a highly competitive market where refiners are looking for options that include digitally transforming operations and adapting new technologies to enhance safety and improve uptime, flexibility and efficiency, while securing their competitive position in a dynamic market. Improving personnel and process safety remains a top focus area for refiners.
