HP Flashback
Camel LNG plant: World's largest
C. G. Filstead, July 1965
The third liquefaction line is now in operation at Arzew,
Algeria. It is the world's first commercial scheme to liquefy
natural gas for export. Here is how it is operating.
Design criteria for large urea plants
L. H. Cook, February 1966
A 1,500-metric tpd, single-train urea plant is now economically
feasible. This article provides criteria for optimum design.
New catalyst for Sohio process
What's HapPenIng, June 1966
The Standard Oil Co. (Ohio) will begin construction in the
spring of 1966 on a plant in Lima, Ohio, to produce a new,
alternative catalyst to be used in Sohio's acrylonitrile process.
Commissioning is scheduled for early 1967.
What's the future for PVC?
G. Olivier, September 1966
Because it is so well established in the thermoplastic field,
polyvinyl chloride should have an annual growth rate during
the next 10 yr more than 12%.
Essential information for piping design
R. W. Judson, October 1966
Three major source documents are essential for good piping
design: engineering flow diagrams, nomenclature and
equipment elevations. This article explains each in detail, providing
content and source of these essential documents.
" Clipping Method " for turnaround scheduling
C. K. Gimlin, January 1967
Job sequences are compiled on a written work order. Then,
jobs for each craft are " clipped " from the work order and placed
in job folders. These are transferred to a daily work schedule
for each craft. As the turnaround progresses, changes in work
requirements can be quickly rescheduled using the system.
How to handle a safety inspection
V. J. Whitehorn and H. W. Brown, April 1967
Periodic inspections are a key part of a good safety and fire
protection program. This article provides a checklist to help
personnel ensure their plant is getting the attention it needs.
Less sulfur in the air from fuels?
R. C. Mallatt, December 1967
Although the use of petroleum and natural gas fuels is
growing, there is less air pollution from the sulfur in these
fuels. In the U.S., investments in processes which desulfurize
have reached approximately $700 MM, according to a recent
industry survey.
Learn about analog computers
T. W. Cadman and T. G. Smith, February 1968
This series describes the basic concepts of analog computers.
It will detail how analog computers can be used to simulate
processes and to solve problems peculiar to the HPI. Among
the items to be covered include amplitude scaling, time scal76

ing, process simulation, circuit design, diode switching, function
generation, memory and logic, and future roles.
Noise pollution: A new problem
J. M. Hopkins and R. H. Congelliere, May 1968
Air and water pollution have stirred a new interest-noise
pollution. This article discusses the effect of excess noise on employees,
existing legislation designed to control industrial noise
and an effective noise-control program.
Compare DGA and MEA sweetening methods
J. C. Dingman and T. F. Moore, July 1968
Among the processes for sweetening natural gas, monoethanolamine
(MEA) ranks at or near the top in number of
commercial installations. Now, a very similar process, using a
chemical called diglycolamine (DGA), presents credentials
which appear to make it extremely competitive with the long
established MEA process.
Petrochemicals: Still fine in '69
F. G. Sawyer, January 1969
Petrochemicals remain the pacesetters of the HPI. Last year
proved better than expected, but the same problems of price fatigue
and overcapacity plagued certain areas. Discounting shortterm
variations, the long-term outlook is excellent.
Optimum: Hydrocrack + reform
J. R. Kittrell, G. E. Langlois and J. W. Scott, May 1969
For best refining operations, it is important to consider the
yield-octane relationship between hydrocracking and modern
catalytic reforming. This article provides some generalized
correlations.
Olefins by dehydrogenation-extraction
D. B. Broughton and R. C. Berg, June 1969
By combining catalytic dehydrogenation of linear parafsieve
extraction, high-purity linear inFurnace
tubes: How hot?
J. M. Lenoir, October 1969
The measurement of surface temperatures for furnace tubes
is important to achieve optimum operation. Not hot enough:
Uneconomical processing; too hot: Quicker tube failures.
Ideas for gas plant automation
B. A. Eckerson, December 1969
This article provides a look beyond the control of simple operating
variables. It provides practical ideas-many already tested-for
the control of air coolers, sulfur plants, plant emergencies,
truck loading and the operation of absorption oil units.
