Insights into refining
Managing valve wear in FCC slurry oil service
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is an important upgrading process for converting heavy oil feedstock into products such as gasoline, light fuel oils, and olefin-rich gases at oil refineries. In this process, a hot catalyst from the regenerator flows in a fluidized state through the riser tube into the reactor. Do you want to enhance the wear protection of the critical flow control devices in the FCC unit? Read on and join my presentation in Valve World.
Maximize reliability with modern, data-driven shutdown planning
Turnaround, shutdown, and outage valve scopes have a significant impact on future plant performance. Good planning, management and documentation are essential, but higher targets have also accentuated the need to better target maintenance and consider opportunities for improvement. Want to learn proven methods and tools to leverage data and ensure successful shutdowns? Read on and join my presentation at Valve World Expo.
Validated processes and competency enable long-term, safe operation of oxygen service valves
Oxygen service valves operate in one of the process industry’s most hazardous environments. Oxygen is not flammable but supports and accelerates combustion. This means that oxygen service valves need to be designed, manufactured, tested and maintained to prevent this by mitigating the ignition source and contact with fuel. This article focuses mainly on cleaning, inspection methods and guidance on packaging, storage, installation, operation, and maintenance.
