In the summer months, it’s hard to link propane with anything but barbeque’s sweet, smoky aroma. But in the petrochemical industry, propane’s usefulness extends beyond the BBQ, fueling the creation of some of our most used products. Derived from propane, propylene is one of the most prolific and versatile materials. Its uses include everything from […]

Compression equipment requires precision temperature controls for seal gas. Seal gas heaters allow equipment to operate under high pressure without risking leaks. If leakages do occur, they can cause environmental damage, safety hazards, and eat into profits. As such, choosing the right seal gas heater is important to your project and your bottom line. Seal […]

.Dry gas seals have really gained popularity over the last 20 years. Being the seal system of choice for the process gas centrifugal compressors thus increasingly replacing the traditionally complex oil fill seals. It is estimated that almost 80% of the process gas centrifugal compressors manufactured today are equipped with dry gas seals, implying acceptance […]

Fins are used to enhance the heat transfer on a surface by increasing the surface area for heat transfer to take place.  For convective heat transfer from a surface, the governing equation is: Q=h*A*(Ts-Tinf) Where Q is the rate of heat transfer from a surface to a fluid, h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, […]

As the world population increases and the demand for plastics skyrockets, the process of propane dehydrogenation has gained widespread momentum. Propane Dehydrogenation or PDH is a process that converts a propane feedstock to propylene which is used commonly in various petrochemical applications. As the global demand for propylene increases in the automobile sector, manufacturing of […]
