Heat Exchanger Challenges with Light Tight Crude
2014-05-13 19:42:00| Chemical Processing
Energy consumption remains one of the largest controllable costs in oil refineries. Heat exchanger fouling can have a significant impact on energy efficiency and production loss. Asphaltene Precipitation is caused when refiners blend incompatible crudes. This is a major source of fouling and leads to performance limitations within days. Heat exchanger fouling is a major challenge for refinery operations. With the increase in crude blending from opportunity crudes such as tight oil, the traditional manual monitoring approach may no longer be effective. This White Paper discusses how on-line monitoring and analysis can enable refineries to: Better Understand Accelerated Fouling Due to Crude Incompatibilities Learn How to Use Online Monitoring to Detect Fouling Identify Which Tube Bundles Require Cleaning

Safety debate eyes taming Bakken crude before it hits rails
2014-05-12 18:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: After a spate of fiery derailments, the scramble to make North Dakota's Bakken crude oil safer when it's being transported on trains has focused on better tracks, slower speeds, and reinforced railcars that bypass urban areas. But that is starting to change. A potentially more effective approach, which would remove the most volatile elements from the crude before it is being loaded onto rail cars, is now beginning to get attention, both from regulators considering safety enhancements and some...
