CFD Simulation of Diesel Hydrotreaters Under Periodic Operation Mode

Mar 21, 2010
Middle distillate hydrotreating is the most important refining process for the production of ultra-low-sulfur diesel, in which sulfur content is required to be less than 15 wppm. Hydrotreating is usually conducted in trickle bed hydrotreaters under steady-state operation with constant gas and...

Elements of Two-Stage Unicracking for Maximum Distillate Production

Mar 21, 2010
Diesel fuel is projected to be one of the strongest market growth transportation fuels over the next ten years. Availability of more heavy and sour crudes, utilization of refinery configurations for maximum distillate production and more stringent diesel fuel specifications are techno-economic...

Effective Diffusivity Measurement in Coke-Deactivated Hydrotreating Catalyst

Mar 21, 2010
Roberto E. Galiasso Tailleur
The effective diffusivity of two fresh and two spent catalysts, previously deactivated for 18 months in a commercial unit, were determined. The effective diffusivities were measured using a shallow-bed reactor already developed for this purpose. Nitrogen, isopentane and isooctane effective...

Mercury Control with Regenerative Activated Coke Technology

Mar 21, 2010
James Peters
Many issues face coal fired utilities with respect to environmental demands, some based on regulations and others based on local pressures. These include increasingly stringent control of criteria pollutants, anticipated federal and state requirements for mercury control, issues revolving around...

DP Flow is the most frequently applied measurement technology. Uncover the value of re-engineering DP Flow measurement points to enable better measurement. Learn how best practices and innovative designs deliver improved accuracy, reduced maintenance, reduced installed costs, lowered permanent...

Energy Security and Affordability in the 21st Century

Mar 21, 2010
John Hofmeister
Hofmeister, former President of Shell Oil Company, and founder of the non-profit association, Citizens for Affordable Energy, tackles two of the most critical concerns facing industry today – energy availability and affordability. While green energy is helpful, it's inadequate for the demands of...

Carbon Capture and Storage - Can CCS Be a Viable Business?

Mar 21, 2010
Ray Hattenbach
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been characterized as the technology that can jump start mitigation of greenhouse gases until new, less carbon intensive technology can be implemented to provide electrical power, transportation fuels and energy our society needs to stay competitive in the world...

Maintaining MPC Benefits for Years: No Myth

Mar 21, 2010
MPC software companies and their customers can sustain and increase the benefits from MPC solutions by forming effective maintenance strategies. This can mean maintaining MPC models current and migrating applications with evolving techniques. This paper will show how a well-formed maintenance...

Real Time Detection of Gaseous Metal Contaminants in Coal Flue and Fuel Gas

Mar 21, 2010
Erik C. Rupp
The Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is a promising technology for the future use of coal to provide energy. During this process, many of the trace elements present in coal are volatilized, and remain in the gas phase through the gas turbine, only to be released in the flue gas. Trace...

Sustainable Development in the Process Industries: Cases and Impact

March, 2010
The complete, hands-on guide to sustainable development Today's process industries must develop natural resources within an eco-friendly framework that balances current demand with future need. Realizing this goal necessitates global vigilance of three key areas—people, planet, and prosperity—known...

Liquid Membrane Immobilized in Durable Inorganic Matrix for CO2 Separation

Nov 12, 2009
Jian Zhang
In this work, we will report a new liquid/inorganic membrane product concept for CO2 separation. A liquid fluid of selective CO2 absorption properties is immobilized in a thin, inorganic substrate sheet (20~50um) of graded pore structures. CO2 selectively absorbs into the liquid fluid in the feed...
