The Qattameya gas field located offshore Egypt is expected to produce up to 50 million cubic feet of gas per day. The field has been developed through a one-well subsea development and tied-back to existing infrastructure.

The new naphtha cavern has recently been commissioned in Porvoo, Finland. With this project, Borealis will now be able to source and store naphtha from the global market in a cost-efficient manner. The cavern is also expected to store renewable naphtha which proves useful for the production of renewable polyolefins.

The world’s first blue ammonia shipment paves the way for utilising sustainable hydrogen and contributing to the circular carbon economy. The high-grade blue ammonia will be used in Japan for zero-carbon power generation.

Chevron Phillips Chemical (CP Chem) has become the first company in the US to produce circular polyethylene from recycled mixed-waste plastics on a commercial scale. Utilising advanced recycling technology, the firm has plans to develop its new circular polyethylene range and market it upon certification.

The digital twin of a plant is a virtual image, which not only allows internal process states to be displayed transparently, but also allows process optimizations to be worked out. Take the example of steam crackers — the king’s class of process plants — and learn how models, simulations and digital twins can be used to generate benefits over the entire life cycle of plants.

Under a MOU signed between L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) and NTPC, LTHE will be responsible for carrying out Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management services for the CO2 to methanol demonstration plant.

The 5 BPD unit will utilise the Biofuels Isoconversion technology, jointly developed by Chevron Lummus Global and Applied Research Associates, to produce renewable jet fuel and renewable diesel. The technology will help the unit to reduce over 80 % of greenhouse gas emissions as compared to petroleum.

A new Iludest distillation plant extends the limits of what is possible and enables the extremely pure separation of bitumen fractions in a packed distillation column. In this way the process engineers from Waldbüttelbrunn defy the thermodynamic limits of the ASTM Standards D2892 and D5236, and bring two seemingly incompatible requirements under one hat.

Hengli Petrochemical’s 300 Kmta Stratco alkylation unit located at the company’s new refinery complex in China is licensed by Dupont Clean Technologies. The startup of the new unit will enable the firm to produce high-quality alkylate from a 100 % isobutylene feed.

United Electric Controls has recently announced that its Vanguard Wireless Hart Gas Detector is now Hart Registered. This registration ensures that all Wireless Hart users will be able to add Vanguard device drivers the next time they update their device descriptor (DD) libraries. It also assures users that they can add Vanguard systems to existing Wireless Hart networks, seamlessly and securely.
