Hazardous-waste disposal presents unique challenges. An analysis of several incidents highlights the importance of properly characterizing waste prior to processing.
PROCESS DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
Best Practices for Pilot Plant Layout
Follow these recommendations to ensure your pilot plant has sufficient space to achieve your research and development goals.
PLANT OPERATIONS
Implement an Effective Corrosion Mitigation Program
As opportunity crude usage increases, unexpected corrosion has become a major issue in piping and process units. Corrosion monitoring is a crucial part of maintaining the operational integrity of a refinery.
FLUIDS AND SOLIDS HANDLING
Designing Hoppers, Bins, and Silos for Reliable Flow
Follow a guided approach to measure solids properties, choose bin shapes, and calculate hopper angles and outlet sizes for effective storage and use.
SAFETY
Safely Unload and Convey Combustible Dusts
Dust explosions are a major hazard of unloading and conveying operations. Protect your facility from explosions with venting panels, flameless venting systems, and chemical suppression systems.
