Editorial Comment: IRPC Process: A sincere thanks to all
Last month, <i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i> hosted the International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC).
Fix nozzle elevations and orientations for distillation columns
An engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor receives a front-end engineering design (FEED) package or basic design and engineering package as an input document from the owner.
Why EPC firms are accelerating digitalization
Even before the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms were already under considerable stress.
Reverse refining: A novel approach to the refining process
The crude oil refining processing sequence is based on the separation of distillate products from heavier ones and concentrating the heavy molecules of the barrel for processing at the end of the refining run.
Ethylbenzene plant debottleneck with a high-activity transalkylation catalyst
Modern commercial ethylbenzene (EB) plants use liquid-phase alkylation processes with zeolite catalysts to achieve high product yields.
Key instrumentation technologies to tackle the toughest measurement challenges
Just as some people seek out extreme sports, process manufacturing has its extreme applications, and engineers who design for these environments must find ways to safely contain and monitor all manner of dangerous reactions and products.
Editorial Comment: Optimization: Advancing the industry’s evolution and benefits to the masses
Optimization—the action of making the best or most effective use of a situation or resource—is not a term that the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) takes lightly: it is a way of life.
