Special Report: Pay Attention to Water
2014-11-18 21:57:00| Chemical Processing
Economic growth, industrialization and population growth are driving the increasing demand for water, while factors such as climate change, pollution and regulation are affecting the supply and costs related to water. The chemical industry, being highly water intensive, certainly is exposed to water-related risks. Any efforts to manage these risks and capitalize on opportunities begin with the measurement and appreciation of how water may impact business, followed by the development of strategies to protect the business both now and in the future. In this Chemical Processing Special Report we take a look at water challenges and potential solutions for chemical processors including: Water-related risks and opportunities How chemical makers strive to cut water consumption and improve treatment The Importance of visible TOC levels

Special Report: Protect Process Control Systems
2014-10-30 03:39:00| Chemical Processing
In the decade before Stuxnet attacked process control systems in Iran, there were just five known supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) vulnerabilities for all control systems in the world, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT). In 2011, the year after Stuxnet, that vulnerability count jumped to more than 215. Last year, it reached 248. No surprise then that Chemical makers are increasingly focusing on protecting their process control systems from intrusion both from the inside and outside. In this Chemical Processing Special Report: Protect Process Control Systems, we take a look at: How to better protect your control system - "Defense in depth" is crucial, and new and maturing technologies may help Cyber Security Challenges - learn about countermeasures to protect control systems Case Study: A vulnerability assessment reveals critical gaps in the security of a natural gas pipeline How to mitigate security risks in legacy process control systems - several steps can help protect against threats and extend the life of legacy equipment Learn how to secure your process control systems - and your plant.

Special Report: Make the Most of Heat Transfer Fluids
2014-10-30 03:29:00| Chemical Processing
Even though thermal-fluid heating systems have been widely used for over 80 years, they still provoke a certain amount of fear and trepidation in users. This anxiety is reinforced by any number of horror stories that usually involve systems that suddenly develop a "problem" after years of trouble-free operation. This Chemical Processing Special Report: Make the Most of Heat Transfer Fluids delves in to the issues surrounding heat transfer fluids. Learn about: Thermal fluids - dispel common myths about hot oil systems Avert oxidation - how nitrogen can serve as an inert barrier to prevent heat-transfer fluid from contacting atmospheric air through the expansion tank Steam vs. hot oil - a key tradeoff complicates the choice between steam and a hot oil system to heat water

Special Report: Avoid Common Vessel Errors
2014-10-28 15:36:00| Chemical Processing
Welded vessels play a key role in most processes. However, few plants now have in-depth expertise in materials selection, fabrication and design of such vessels. As a result, plant staff often make errors that can be costly as well as compromise the suitability and life of the vessel. This three-part special report provides practical pointers that can help you avoid common mistakes and get the most appropriate, durable and cost-effective vessel. Part 1 looks at a dozen important factors to consider in materials selection, including metal selection and appropriate use of corrosion allowances and coatings. It includes pointers gleaned from first-hand experiences that can help you avoid costly mistakes and delays. Part 2 provides tips on how to avoid delays and achieve savings in the fabrication process. It also covers techniques that can improve vessel reliability and thus forestall costly repairs down the road. Part 3 gets into design issues. It condenses the 5,000+ pages of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code into a simple guide when specifying vessels, heat exchangers and tanks. It focuses on 10 key factors.
