Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) conversion technology is scaling up, providing more options for competing against a confluence of market and regulatory forces. Many of the options under consideration involve increasing resid conversion through the FCC unit. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated market expansion of chemical building blocks such as propylene. This suggests opportunities for upgrading resid to petrochemicals and marketable fuel components such as high octane alkylate.
In one of the toughest and remote industrial environments, equipment reliability is not only a priority, but also a major challenge. This paper looks at the solutions that can improve both performance and reliability.
In this white paper, you will gain a glimpse into the collaborative mindset Shell Catalysts & Technologies adopts when approaching energy transition challenges.
Intelex is excited to share with you the Connected Work Checklist for EHSQ Leaders and Practitioners in the Oil and Gas Industry.
MWDXRF, a version of X-ray Fluorescence, is becoming an increasingly more common alternative to microcoulometry for the measurement of chlorine in VGO and VLSFO. Learn more in this white paper from XOS.
Helping heavy industries, refiners and resource holders to meet their net-zero-emission ambitions through the integration of proven technologies for affordable greenfield blue hydrogen production.
Trying to apply the standard APC technologies or alternative rigorous modeling techniques to multi-unit optimisation has proved difficult as the problem scale is increased. The performance, veracity and maintainability of these ambitious and well-intentioned solutions suffer. To be successful, one needs a new approach. This paper examines one such approach, Honeywell Forge APC Plant-Wide Optimizer.
Fouling is one of the costliest recurring problems in hydrocarbon processing, and hits process heaters and heat exchangers the hardest. The paper describes how helical flow technology can reduce ‘hotspots’ and dead zones that produce fouling.
XRF delivers rapid and accurate results for testing sulfur and chlorine in biofuels. Read this white paper to learn about a viable solution to measure both elements concurrently with one instrument.
