Two-stage riser catalytic cracking of heavy oil for maximizing propylene yield (TMP) process proposed by State Key Laboratory of Heavy oil Processing, China University of Petroleum, can remarkably enhance the propylene yield and minimize the dry gas and coke yields, and obtain high-quality light oils (gasoline and diesel). It has been commercialized since 2006. Up to now, three TMP commercial u...

natural gas is often associated with nitrogen and heavy compounds. the heavy components in the natural gas not only can feed downstream units, owing to the low temperature process may be formed solid as well. therefore, heavy components separation can be a necessity and produce useful products. virtually, all natural gases are containing nitrogen ​​that would lower the heating value of natural ...

Recent maritime legislation demands the transformation of transportation sector to greener and more energy efficient. Liquified natural gas (LNG) seems a promising alternative fuel solution that could replace conventional sources. Various studies have focused on prediction LNG price; however, no previous work has been carried out forecast spot charter rate carrier ships, an important factor for...

Liquefied Natural Gas contracts offer cancellation options that make their pricing difficult, especially if many gas storages need to be taken into account. We develop a valuation mechanism for such contracts from the buyer’s perspective, a large gas company whose main interest in these contracts is to provide a reliable supply of gas to its clients. The approach combines valuation with hedging...

Numerous reasons including lower carbon and sulfur emissions have led to the rapid growth of natural gas (NG) demand. However, more than one-third of world NG reserves are stranded, i.e., either remote (e.g., offshore) or in regions with saturated markets. This reality makes the investment decisions complex and uncertain for NG field developers. In this study, we consider the case of a company ...

We propose a constraint programming approach for the optimization of inventory routing in the liquefied natural gas industry. We present two constraint programming models that rely on a disjunctive scheduling representation of the problem. We also propose an iterative search heuristic to generate good feasible solutions for these models. Computational results on a set of largescale test instanc...

Setya Tani Dirgantara is a company engaged in the distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG Gas). As an agent LPG, PT. distributes 3 Kilogram Elpiji to various sub-distributors (bases) by relying on sending crew (drivers). However, with large number existing sub-distributors, it makes Agent Administrator fast reporting process Leader. Due from driver who still uses written system, cannot get...

Iran’s vast common natural gas resources and the necessity to extract and export it as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to distances more than 3000Km opens a lucrative field for researchers to optimize LNG cycles. In this article heat integration in cryogenic cycles by determining interacycle partition temperature and optimizing refrigeration features like Subcooler, Presaturator, aftercooler, reboi...
