The more subsystems involved, the easier it becomes for problems or inefficiencies in one aspect to become systemic issues dragging the entire process down. One […]
The world’s demand for refined petrochemical products is greater than ever, but so to are the demands they place upon the process companies providing those products. Profit margins are tighter, safety and environmental regulations are greater, and public scrutiny is higher than perhaps any other time in the history of the industry. A successful refinery […]
Optimization in the process industries isn’t solely about engineering and chemical design. Refining and petrochemical project management is another key factor. A well-managed plant is well on its way to being a highly productive and efficient plant, and our goal at S&D Consulting is to see our clients combine great engineering with great management to create […]
