Valves
High-frequency acoustic excitation—Part 2
Failure of a piping section at the outlet of pressure safety valves (PSVs) and control valves—where significant differential pressure exists (particularly in gas processing industries)—is a common problem in industries.
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.
Double-suction centrifugal compressor in ethylene plant inlet piping design
Centrifugal compressors are designed with different suction nozzle orientations and impeller layouts in casing.
Fuels and chemicals: Finding the right refinery configuration for a less predictable world
The refining industry links the upstream production of crude oil with the end markets for fuel products, as well as for the petrochemical/chemical industry.
Innovations
Cowan Dynamics has made advancements to its “C-PAC Module” Pneumatic Manifold and launched the C-PAC store.
Benefits of using a master station for actuator supervision and control in metering skids
Valve automation in metering skids for the oil and gas industry is a challenging task.
Innovations
H2scan has released its latest product in the HY-OPTIMA™ line of sensors.
Search for advanced technique of desalter control—TON control for interface level
While it may seem like a simple vessel, the desalter is a critical section in a crude distillation unit.
Modular reed valve technology for reciprocating compressors
Hydrocarbon processing plants use reciprocating compressors for process gases in a certain flow and differential pressure range, and double-acting cylinder-piston arrangements are almost always involved.
