  • Managing Equipment Damage Caused by Corrosive Feedstocks Encountered with Biofuel Production (Part 2)

    Jim Cahill
    When we talk about renewable fuels to the general public, many might imagine cars running on gasoline made from wildflowers and meadow grass. However, those who work in the industry recognize that the fats and oils used to make renewable diesel can be just about anything but that, and in fact often come from more prosaic sources, such as meatpacking waste. From a process viewpoint, waste sources can cause serious problems…

  • Improving Terminal Throughput and Efficiency

    Jim Cahill
    Yesterday, we highlighted many technologies to improve loading and unloading operations . But what about the commercial and logistical sides to enhance efficiency and throughput? Emerson’s Kevin Niles and Sandy Tiu explore this question in a Tanks & Terminals article, Don’t Just Go With The Flow (pp. 19-22). They open the article by noting how increases in LNG shipments and crude oil imports and exports have increased…
