Process Optimization
What to look for in a project feasibility study - Part 1
Here's how to judge the strengths and weaknesses of its technical and economic content
Consider barge-mounted plant to produce ultra-clean diesel
New gas-to-liquids technologies enable constructing floating production units to develop stranded gas fields
LNG storage tanks: advancements in weld inspections
New inspection method improves jobsite examinations and verification of welds
Optimize energy integration for LNG terminals
Integrating heating requirements with adjacent facilities can provide economic bonus while improving operating efficiencies
Select the optimum extraction method for LNG regasification
Varying energy compositions of LNG imports may require terminal operators to remove C2+ compounds before injecting regasified LNG into pipelines
Design a turnkey floating LNG facility
Important factors to consider when planning an FPSO
Effective new plant startup increases asset's net present value
An integrated work process reduces investment costs and mitigates potential risks
Use extractive distillation to simplify petrochemical processes
Advances in solvent technology enable using extraction methods to separate close boiling point compounds cost-effectively
Optimize short-term refinery scheduling
Constraints, different mathematical programming techniques and integrating scheduling subsystems must be considered
