Amine units are critical components in refineries and gas processing plants, removing acidic contaminants like H2S and CO2 from process streams. However, these units are particularly vulnerable to corrosion, which can lead to costly shutdowns and safety risks. Let's...
This article discusses ways to immediately reduce emissions in refineries, and it suggests ways to strategically use refineries to drive significantly larger emission reductions across multiple sectors.
Congratulations to Tim Olsen for achieving an AFPM Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 AFPM Summit meeting in Dallas, Texas.
. In a Hydrocarbon Processing article, Accelerating the transition to renewable fuels, Emerson’s Marcelo Carugo and Julie Valentine share how these renewable fuels can “…create millions of jobs, spur rapid growth and drive technological innovation.”
Monitoring corrosion risk provides early warnings to process conditions that may harm plant assets, allowing for better and faster mitigation responses. At the same time, it provides valuable data to optimize process parameters and support feedstock management.
Learn how Emerson and Cisco helped a large refinery in Singapore make digital transformation a reality by enabling their lean workforce to quickly access valuable field data and assess equipment health in real time using wireless technology.
Maximize productivity and profitability while balancing the impact of corrosion on fixed assets by leveraging advanced wireless corrosion monitoring solutions. This technology combines reliable and continuous corrosion data with process data for a more comprehensive view of asset health.
In a Hydrocarbon Engineering article, A Fine Balance, Emerson’s Jake Davies describes ways to address the corrosion and erosion that can wear away piping, tanks, vessels and valves in the refining process.
When a large-scale refinery needed to make Safety Instrumented System (SIS) improvements on their coker furnace on-line spalling operation, the Rosemount 8800 Dual Vortex Flow Meter proved to be the perfect solution. Initially, the refinery had installed 12 vortex...
This article, How refiners can empower a digitally transformed workforce, focuses on strategies and technologies available to enable refiners to better manage the skills shortage—primarily due to increasingly complex operations and a generation of seasoned experts retiring.
A North American refinery was facing challenges with their crude unit charge heater due to clogging and freezing of its impulse lines. In settings like this, it’s crucial to have dependable and redundant measurement to guard against damage to the heaters and keep...
This article highlights how leveraging automation can ensure on time project completion with digital technologies that can automate workflows; wireless instruments that can eliminate field engineering and wiring costs; new analytics that create smarter plants, and the ability to build full digital twins of both the plant and the control system.
