The Dow Hydrocarbons Business has a thorough process for managing excellent EHS performance during Turnarounds. We name an EHS Focal Point for each Turnaround 2 years in advance. A Turnaround EHS Preparation and Execution plan is developed and followed. An EHS Readiness Assessment is conducted with...

New LNG liquefaction facilities have been configured to include large ground flares to allow for the safe combustion of large volumes of combustible gasses in the event of facility upset conditions. A recent example is a planned LNG development nearby Darwin, Australia. These ground flares can...

PT Badak NGL utilizes groundwater for Plants and Community water consumption. Demineralization water production in PT Badak NGL uses ion exchange process which has high safety risk since it utilizes sulfuric acid and caustic for ion exchanger regeneration. The sulfuric acid sometimes leaks out from...

Hydroprocessing or hydrotreating is the key technology to clean, to refine, and to convert crude oils into valuable products, such as gasoline and diesel. It covers a wide range of feed stocks and numerous configurations. The tutorial will discuss process configuration, material selection, and heat...

Turnaround Excellence is more than a state of being… it is a journey. Achieving and sustaining excellence is wholly dependent on a site approach of shared accountability towards Turnaround Excellence and must be a continually improving process. Starting well in advance of “feed out”, a long range...

The paper will present an overview of the Hydrocracking process as applied in the refineries today. It will cover Mild Hydrocracking, Partial Conversion Hydrocracking, Full Conversion Hydrocracking, Hydrocracker/FCC integration, Hydrocracker/Ethylene Steam Cracker integration and Production of Lube...

Goal of the Project The primary goal of the project is the creation of composite fuels for combustion processes containing biomass, coal, coal residues, crude oil processing residues, and other combustible material for effective firing in power plants The principal technological approach is...

Hydrogen management can have a significant effect on refinery utility supply through the integration with the rest of the systems. Optimization of hydrogen production in conjunction with steam, power, and fuels can yield significant savings opportunities for the refinery. Examples of actual...

In 2006, the United States EPA mandated the use of 15 ppmw ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) for on-road diesel fuel. At that time several refiners either revamped existing facilities or constructed grass roots facilities to meet the specification. Some facilities did not implement ULSD process...
