Reuse Practices, Midstream Engineering Practices, and Other Additions to The Equity Engineering Practices

Jul 30, 2024

Author: Joel Andreani, P.E., Senior Vice President of Knowledge Management, Principal Engineer II

Corporate standards or engineering best practices are help owner-users manage equipment and facilities by promoting safety, managing risk, improving reliability, capturing corporate memory, and transferring knowledge. In this article, Joel highlights two new collections that were recently added to the Equity Engineering Practices (EEPs) to support clients in the midstream and renewable energy industries, plus he provides a sneak peek into some of the innovative tools currently in development. The EEPs are the gold standard for all your engineering standards needs.

Understanding Operating Limits on Reactor Internals

Jun 24, 2024

Authors: Adam Smith, P.E., Staff Engineer II; Matt Schaser, P.E., Senior Engineer II

Hydroprocessing equipment is an important component that helps increase production at refineries. However, during regular operations, the efficiency and run life of these reactors can be compromised by build up on the catalyst surface, leading to costly shutdowns or reduced production. In this article, Adam and Matt discuss how monitoring bed support differential pressure can maximize runtime. They use a recent case study to demonstrate how their analysis of the catalyst bed effectively delayed a shutdown at refinery.

Temperature Measurement Hydrocracking Reactors

Jun 24, 2024

Authors: Rohan Oak, P.E., Instrumentation, Controls, & Electrical Engineering Team Leader, Consulting Engineer I; Ahmed Shadhan, Electrical Engineering Consultant

As more refineries begin to process biofuels, it is important to establish a consistent and accurate temperature measurement program to ensure the hydrocrackers are capable co-processing the new feedstock safely and reliably. In this article, Rohan and Ahmed review the fundamentals of temperature measuring devices and discuss key maintenance and reliability techniques that you can apply to prevent unplanned shutdowns.

Renewable Energy & Other Changes in Service Scenarios: Evaluating Plant Assets for Re-Use

Sep 28, 2021

Author: Joel Andreani

Read a comparison of a reuse project to FFS/SFS, addresses several repurposing questions, and explains the keys to conducting a successful conversion. In addition, be introduced to the upcoming changes to the Equity Engineering Practices (EEPs) that will deliver additional protocol documents to support safe and reliable operations.
