Texan KBR will provide engineering for a new offshore complex, consisting of two fixed jacket platforms, as well as onshore facilities, for BP. The new rigs in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea will provide gas for two gas processing trains with 900 mmscf/d capacity each.

Heating or cooling of granulate or powder bulk materials plays a crucial role in
a wide range of production and processing applications. The following article describes current enhancements to and the advantages of a bulk material heat exchanger which is based on indirect heat exchange and a lean
design.

Side-channel pumps are the ideal choice in applications where self-priming, gas and vapor handling, low NPSH and low noise emissions are major design criteria.

There is a wide selection of heat transfer oils out there to choose from, and each product has its own specific properties. But how do you find the right one for your particular application? A few key criteria will help you make the best choice.

The process of choosing appropriate compressed air systems for pharmaceutical applications comprises a number of selection criteria, all of which contribute immensely to air quality and equipment performance.

Guided Wave Radar (GWR) transmitters are often favoured devices, as they — unlike traditional mechanical technologies — virtually have no moving parts, reducing maintenance costs and extending operational life. Many GWR installations require a separate instrument chamber, and choosing the right chamber is important for rapid installation, accurate measurements and reliability.

Routes for diesel production – Over the period 2015–2040, the global demand for diesel is likely to grow at a compounded annual rate of 1.0 per cent. Therefore, maximization of diesel yield remains the major objective of petroleum refiners. Read on to find out the various routes through which diesel can be produced in a refinery...

Clariant launched its new high-performance ethyl benzene dehydrogenation catalyst StyroMax UL3.

A Spanish refinery makes the best of its challenging location with state of the art wireless monitoring — A refinery never stands still: Hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil, fuel and petrochemicals are pumped back and forth each day. With stakes that high, valve monitoring becomes a crucial challenge. But what if the situation calls for a wireless solution? Discover, how process monitoring takes to the airwaves …

Guided wave radar (GWR) has become increasingly popular as an alternative to mechanical technology for level and interface measurements in bypass chamber applications. This measurement method, which has no moving parts and is not affected by density changes, provides reliable and accurate level and interface measurements.
