Mike Siravo
In this session we will review several case studies that will allow you to better understand the importance of process engineering and process safety basics. These examples will show specific pitfalls to avoid but also will open your thinking to properly consider the implications of other...

Design Considerations for Diesel Hydrotreaters

Apr 4, 2012
Ian M. Glasgow
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...

Derek W. Griffin
The food versus fuel debate is becoming increasingly controversial in the wake of the industrialization of eastern countries and the ever-growing population of the world. Sustainable and renewable feed stocks are being explored as energy sources in order to meet the increasing energy demand and...

Development of a Compact Fischer Tropsch Reactor

Oct 18, 2011
Lyman Frost
Fischer Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a polymerization process where a CH X species is added to a growing aliphatic chain. There are several models of the catalytic chain propagation rate and the termination of the chain growth (e.g. Anderson – Schulz – Flory model). The exact methodology for the...
