Process Optimization
Cutting-edge methods convert waste into salable products
Innovative pretreatment process removes hazardous contaminants from ethylene production-generated spent caustic
Model predictive control for liquefied natural gas processing plants
Applying this technology will increase your bottom line and improve operations
Minimize facility flaring
Flares are safety devices that prevent the release of unburned gases to atmosphere
Improve reformer catalyst operations
Deactivation of hydrogen generation unit catalyst is linked to contamination of boiler feedwater from a leaking heat exchanger
Advances in tank quality measurements can help cut operational costs
New techniques make analysis available in real time
Enhanced methods optimize ownership costs for catalysts
Novel model-based innovation techniques enable simultaneous optimization of catalyst formulations and operating reactors
Control optimization saves money in distillation
A control system simulation with an air-cooled condenser demonstrates a method to reduce operating costs
Consider furnace replacement for existing olefin units
Leading-edge developments enable installing new units instead of revamping existing furnaces
Tune up your supply-chain models
Optimizers prescribe the preferred operation, taking into account supply-chain constraints; analysis of its economic message is required to counter restrictiveness of the model
