Petroleum engineers responsible for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations will find the ST100 Series Thermal Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) provide precision CO2 gas mass flow measurement in a highly reliable and fully Hazex agency approved no-moving parts instrument.

Liquids terminaling and logistics provider Moda Midstream has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Oxy Ingleside Energy Center and certain crude oil and LPG infrastructure from Occidental Petroleum Corporation.

Once complete, the 2.4 billion dollar project is expected to produce 1 billion pounds of PO and 2.2 billion pounds of TBA annually. With this plant, the firm aims to strengthen its position as a global petrochemical and manufacturing hub.

The planned merger of Praxair and Linde threatens to fail on the demands of the US antitrust body. Apparently, the FTC is demanding further asset sales, which could exceed the self-imposed limit the two companies agreed on. Linde and Praxair set the threshold for divestment of assets at $ 4.3 billion.

Dopla, one of Europe’s major producers of plastic tableware and disposable food containers, has chosen Robuschi vacuum pumps based on screw compressor technology for its thermoforming operations. The new Robox WS 65/2V/3F screw vacuum compressor unit has improved process efficiency while reducing consumption of both power and water.

The benefits of using air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps are not unheard of. However, figuring out which one in the market best suits your needs might be a cumbersome activity. This article presents the results of headto-head comparisons between the top AODD pumps and the final data acquired during those tests. The results will help illustrate the impact differing ADS technologies have on air consumption, energy use and overall flow rate.

Almatec has recently announced the release of its new C-Series AODD pump. Ideally suited for virtually any pumping application where an oscillating pump can be found, C-Series pumps have been specifically developed to be a cost-effective alternative to similar plastic pumps while retaining the reliable and solid design typical of all Almatec pumps.

The joint venture project is expected to be an integral part of Saudi Aramco’s refining, fuels marketing and chemicals business strategies which will enable it to strengthen its position in the Southeast Asia region.

More from less — that was the slogan of the More project, whose goal was the definition of real-time indicators for more resource efficiency in the process. But how to monitor the complex production processes of a cracker? The two consortium participants Ineos and S-Pact developed a ready-to-use feed stream analyser based on Raman Spectroscopy. A real success story paid off in cash.

CB&I has been awarded an ethylene technology contract by Lianyungang Petrochemical, a subsidiary of Zhejiang Satellite Petrochemical. The engineering contractor's scope of work includes a process design package, heater engineering and technology license for two ethylene plants with a capacity of 1,25 kta each at Lianyungang's petrochemical facility in Jiangsu Province, China
