Siemens explains how digital process twins and real-time optimisation can be used to achieve significant cost savings and reduce emissions at industrial sites.

Efficient sulphur recovery is essential for modern refineries to meet stringent environmental regulations and support sustainability goals. Fluor examines the key design considerations, smart design strategies and flexible sulphur block configurations that are essential in achieving an overall optimised design. Together, these strategies enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, improve reliability, and provide flexibility for changing crude qualities, ensuring compliant and economically robust refinery operations.

Co-developed by GEA and Yara, the ATMOS process is an advanced heat integration technology for concentrating phosphoric acid.

Casale and Paralloy Group have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the recent CRU Nitrogen+Syngas 2026 Conference in Barcelona to jointly commercialise ...

Toyo Engineering Corporation, Stamicarbon and Saipem showcase their state-of-the-art urea technologies.

Continuous monitoring of sulphur recovery units (SRUs) has proven to be an excellent tool for energy optimisation and emissions reduction, yielding financial incentives in the form of CO2 credits and sustainability. Even in markets with limited CO2 credits, significant economic benefits can still be realised through reduction in utility consumption, as demonstrated by a recent collaboration between Worley Comprimo and PRefChem in Malaysia.

Advances in cooling technology are providing fertilizer facilities with new options when it comes to upgrading outdated equipment and improving environmental sustainability of their existing operations. Igor Makarenko of Solex Thermal Science explores cooling strategies to improve operational efficiencies while also reducing their energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and overall carbon footprint.

Artificial intelligence is beginning to extend into all facets of modern life, and the chemical process industry is no exception. This article looks at where and how AI is being applied in the ammonia and downstream industries, what data and infrastructure are required, and the potential risks.

Casale’s integrated revamp solutions for ammonia and urea plants are designed to unlock latent potential and boost operational performance.

Revamping existing urea plants can deliver significant improvements – including higher capacity, lower costs and reduced emissions.
