TECHNICAL PAPER: Optimize Profits When Designing Eagle Ford Condensate Splitters
Eagle Ford Condensate is becoming more and more plentiful, and is overwhelming the overheads of Crude Units that blend it in with their heavier crude charge. Considering today's high-product differential values, KP Engineering (KPE) has reservations about optimization capabilities. KPE subsidiary, McDaniel Process Engineering Consultants (MPEC), has developed its own grass-roots process design to increase profit by maximizing high-value distillate yields and minimizing low-value yields.
TECHNICAL PAPER: Custom Large Scale NGL Fractionation
In the midstream industry, the speed of project execution is one of the most important aspects of the project. From project conception to ready-for-shipment, KP Engineering, L.P., designed a custom fractionator within a 10-month schedule. The project presented a number of challenges in the areas of Process Design, Detailed Design, and Fabrication/Construction.
TECHNICAL PAPER: New and Old Equations Tie Together 75 Years of FCC Standpipe Experience
One of the prime challenges to operation of a fluid catalytic cracking unit is keeping the catalyst circulating. Compared to the other challenges facing FCC operations, when it comes to mystery, correction of erratic catalyst standpipe operation tops the list.
