Understanding HCN in FCC: Formation, effects and mitigating options
In these challenging times, fluidized catalytic cracking units (FCCUs) aim to improve margins by processing poorer- or different-quality feeds, while maintaining good yield performance.
Improve the reliability of a CO2 compressor in a urea synthesis/granulation plant
The carbon dioxide compressor is one of the key major equipment in a urea production plant that produces fertilizers.
TOTAL refineries improve overhead systems corrosion and salting with amine-neutralizing technology
Weak organic amines are commonly used in crude unit overhead systems to prevent acidic corrosion from chlorides and other acidic contaminants via a neutralization reaction.
Down with downtime: Repair complex petrochemical components with selective electroplating
The volatile impact of the coronavirus pandemic hit at the same time the petrochemical industry was entering a downcycle.
