Hydrogen as a renewable fuel

Governments and businesses are increasingly committed to steep decarbonization targets, establishing hydrogen as a key component in the energy transition. As of this writing, McKinsey reports that 64 countries, representing 89% of global CO2 emissions, have made net-zero pledges, while financial institutions and private sector enterprises also continue to increase their decarbonization aspirations. Going forward, the energy mix is projected to shift toward clean electricity, complemented ...

Water-intensive industrial operations rely on Solenis to provide the water treatment solutions they need to address most, if not all, of the challenges that raw water, utility water and wastewater present, ensuring the optimal quality and use of water.

CO2 reduction in fried equipment

Fired heaters emit millions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. Fired heaters usually have a fuel efficiency well below 100%, so any improvements that making them more efficient reduces CO2. Heaters are currently fuelled by carbon-bearing refinery fuel gas or natural gas, so further CO2 reduction is possible by changing to fuels with less carbon content. With the ever-changing regulatory climate, enacting an emissions reduction plan can provide a strategic advantage ...

Density, concentration and solids content

Non-contacting measurement technology made by Berthold. Berthold density measurement systems are used for the continuous process control on pipelines and in vessels. Density, concentration and solids content are determined in a non-contacting manner, without affecting the flow properties of the measured material. Successful applications can be found in a wide range of industries and in particular when facing extreme measurement conditions: - Extreme temperatures - High pressure - ...

OptiFuel™ technology and Albemarle coker additives

Reduced coke yield and increased operating flexibility. For many years, delayed coking units have played an important role in oil refineries as one of the most cost effective processes to convert vacuum residue into more valuable products. The delayed coking yields are the result of thermal reactions and are mainly a function of feed properties and operating conditions such as furnace outlet temperature and drum pressure; however, this process results in coke yields from 20-40% ...

Advances in Ecofining™ technology

Refiners are facing a new world and new markets as the drive toward sustainability accelerates. Business is leading the change as major global corporations move to increase sustainability and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The endgame is to produce low carbon, sustainable fuels while maximizing available resources and reducing waste. Honeywell UOP has shaped the refining process since it began. As a global leader in sustainable fuel technologies, UOP helped pioneer the ...

CORAL™ FCC catalysts

Improving residue FCC unit performance through enhanced catalyst accessibility. Mass transfer limitations. Many FCC units experience losses in conversion and bottoms selectivity as a result of mass-transfer limitations. These are due to the problems that high-molecular-weight, sterically hindered feed molecules experience when diffusing into catalyst particles. Albemarle offers the breakthrough catalyst CORAL to overcome this problem, especially in residue FCC units. Root causes Catalyst-particle ...

Co-Processing of alternative feeds

Vision of low carbon FCC of the future. To live in a more sustainable world, refiners are exploring ways to lower their carbon footprint. Sources of FCC Carbon emissions FCC - Scope 1 emissions from burning coke - Scope 2 emissions related to energy inputs (fairly small for FCC) - Scope 3 Upstream emissions for production and transport of feed - Scope 3 downstream for combustion of transportation fuels made from FCC.

LO-CAT® process for waste water treatment plants

In 1980, Los Angeles began exploring alternatives to control the H2S concentration in the digester gas produced at the Hyperion Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), which treats nearly 420 MGD, wastewater generating over 475 tons of raw sludge per day. The digester gas H2S concentration had to be controlled so that the SOX emissions from the on-site combustion of the gas could be kept within acceptable regulatory limits, allowing the gas to be burned on-site to generate steam for ...
