Back issues
Hydrocarbon Engineering - June 2016
This month’s issue kicks off with a close look at South Africa, where Contributing Editor Nancy Yamaguchi explains why the oil and gas sector has, in recent history, been overshadowed by coal. The Regional Report is followed by features on Flaring, Downstream Software, Tanks & Terminals and Process Instrumentation, including technical articles and case studies from some of the industry’s major players.
Hydrocarbon Engineering - May 2016
The May issue features our Annual Global Maintenance Review, providing an overview of maintenance, turnaround and upgrade projects undertaken in downstream oil, gas and petrochemical facilities around the world over the past 12 months. In addition to project news and global case studies, the review includes a broad discussion of the downstream maintenance market from Douglas-Westwood. Furthermore, the May issue has a focus on compressors, refractories, emissions monitoring and gas, with features on LNG, gas analysers, and gas processing and treating. Finally, Contributing Editor Ng Weng Hoong provides this month’s Regional Report on the Japanese energy market.
Hydrocarbon Engineering - April 2016
The April issue kicks off with a look at the global petrochemical industry, beginning with Euro Petroleum Consultants’ analysis of the European and Russian markets and followed by AspenTech’s discussion of the ethylene sector. April’s big feature is, of course, the annual Sulfur Review, which provides a comprehensive overview of the key technologies available to plant and refinery operations today
Hydrocarbon Engineering - March 2016
The March issue is packed full of interesting features, with a particular focus on the downstream oil sector. This month’s topics include opportunity crudes, plant safety, blending technology, catalyst handling and technology, level gauging and corrosion prevention, with case studies and technical articles from some of the best in the industry.Plus Tanks & Terminals Spring 2016 supplement
Hydrocarbon Engineering - February 2016
This month’s issue has a distinct focus on gas. With a lead feature on gas processing and treating, and subsequent features on gas analysis and industrial gases, this issue is full to the brim with technical insights and case studies from the downstream gas sector, from companies including Ametek Process Instruments, AECOM, Cameron, Optimized Gas Treating, Fives Pillard, UOP and Linde.
Hydrocarbon Engineering - January 2016
The lead feature in the January 2016 issue is Hydrocarbon Engineering’s Annual Catalyst Review, which provides an overview of some of the most advanced catalyst technologies available within the hydrocarbon processing industry today. This month’s Regional Report, from Contributing Editor Nancy Yamaguchi, is also a ‘must read’, focusing on tightening gasoline and diesel balanced in the Middle East.
Hydrocarbon Engineering - December 2015
The December 2015 issue is filled with exciting topics, including petrochemicals, software, health and safety, gas processing, heat exchangers, valves and desulfurisation. Nancy Yamaguchi provides this month’s Regional Report, reviewing the effects of recent political turbulence on North Africa’s oil and gas sector, while KBC’s Keynote article discusses the impact of proposed new EPA regulation on fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units. We finish this jam-packed issue with 15 facts on Canada.
Hydrocarbon Engineering - November 2015
The November 2015 issue of Hydrocarbon Engineering kicks off with two Regional Reports focusing on the European downstream industry. The first, from ABB, explains why there is still room for optimism in Europe despite a highly changeable business environment, and UKPIA follows with a update on the UK refining industry. This issue covers a number of exiting topics, including Catalysts, Compressor Technology, Level Gauging, Flow Metering & Monitoring, Storage Options and Corrosion Prevention, and the lead feature, Opportunity Crudes, features technical articles from Dorf Ketal, Cameron and Petrobras. To finish off, we give you 15 facts on Japan.
Hydrocarbon Engineering - October 2015
This October 2015 issue is full of interesting new features, including a discussion on the proposed new Environmental Protection Agency regulations on delayed coking and catalytic reforming units; an examination of the latest generation of sulfur recovery analysers; and Yves Herssens, MECS/DuPont, and Steven Meyer, MECS/DuPont, provide an explanation of how tail gas scrubber sulfur plant bypass ability aids emergency shutdowns and startups. This issue also features 'Hands off operation: Part two', where Paul Lyon and Maria Chwal, Vympel, Germany, discuss automated hydrocarbon dew point measurement.
