<i>Integration</i> is the new keyword for sustainability and profit in today’s oil and gas market scenario.
Improve refinery production and efficiency with asset monitoring
The sheer volume of equipment in a refinery—from vessels, columns, huge structures and mazes of pipes to pumps, valves, controllers and instruments—is staggering.
Getting onboard with modernization
While electrical equipment typically has a lengthy lifespan, it is not meant to last, or be relevant, forever.
Business Trends: A strategic energy solution
Refining is the process of separating crude oil into different hydrocarbon groups through distillation.
Hydrocarbon Processing Awards
<i>Hydrocarbon Processing</i>, the downstream processing sector’s leading technical publication, has announced the finalists for its second annual awards.
Digital: Looking to boost safety? Reliable operations are the key
