Global demand for propylene is projected to increase by 45 MM tons per year by 2030. We published our latest article looking into how refineries can adapt their FCC processes to meet the rising demand for bio-derived polymers and lower-carbon propylene this week at the European Refining Technology Conference in Lisbon. Read more about how ZSM-5 (a zeolite-based catalyst technology) and the co-processing of biogenic feedstocks can help reduce carbon impact 🌱 with maximum propylene yield.

The concept of PtX is based on the conversion of renewable resources to energy carriers and materials as an alternative to conventional fossil production routes. The primary hydrocarbon production pathways for PtX include methanol synthesis, Fischer-Tropsch process (fuels, waxes, naphtha and methane), carbonylation, oxoalcohols and dimethyl ether (DME). Numerous hydrocarbons serve as base chemicals and can be produced via sustainable routes based on CO₂ as feedstock. Notably, naphtha produced from the Fischer-Tropsch process can be used as a base in the chemical industry. Consequently, sustainable CO₂ sources have gained prominence as vital feedstocks to unlock the deployment of PtX.

If you’re producing ethylene via steam cracking, then reducing emissions and energy costs is likely a top priority. Join our webinar to learn how to achieve this whilst optimizing yield and profit. https://okt.to/xKdBHa #Olefin #Petrochemical #BringingDecarbonizationToLife #EnergyTransition

Catch the latest Hydrocarbon Engineering Spotlight Q&A featuring Clariant Catalysts! In this Spotlight interview, Wolf Spaether, Head of Marketing and Product Management for Ethylene, Clariant Catalysts, guides us through refinery off-gas purification (ROG).  Wolf explains what ROG purification is, considers the use of ROG purification units in integrated refinery/petrochemical complexes, and explores how ROG purification can help to contribute to more sustainable operations.

Recently we have seen a dramatic shift in product demand due to challenging economic conditions, supply chain interruptions, and new regulations. What has followed is a prolonged recovery period and long-lasting consequences. Many Ethylene Oxide (EO) producers have had to adopt a far more conservative approach to capital investment, yet continuous improvement is key to maintaining competitiveness. In this Ethylene Oxide (EO) revamp scenario, we not only discuss the most important considerations for EO producers re-examining their operating and investment plans, but also provide case studies showing how producers increased their capacity by 50%, increased catalyst sensitivity, and much more.

From the field: The JGL Solutions team begins treatment on the pad isolation tank containing 8 feet of solids highlighted below. JGL's treatment goals are to eliminate the pad, separate solids from oil, convert paraffin to oil, reduce BS&W in oil, and increase sellable skim oil within the next 30 days. #oilandgas #oilrecovery #solidsremediation #biotechnology
