normally be expected to occur, so that this information may
serve as a guide to those who have butane isomerization units
in the design or planning stage.
Urea-The petrochemical to watch
L. F. Hatch, August 1958
Urea is one of the fastest growing petrochemicals, with a 270%
production increase in 8 yr. It is a triple-threat petrochemical with
a dynamic future for fertilizer, animal feeds and synthetic resins.
Alkylation-What you should know about this process
R. E. Payne, September 1958
This comprehensive article tells of the many factors that influenced
the alkylation process and its products. It will focus on
the commercial aspects of alkylation-plant designs, operating
techniques and process variables. The article will also provide
details regarding investment and operating costs, some octane
blending data and process history.
A checklist for plant layout
J. F. McGarry, October 1958
Whether it is a refinery or petrochemical plant, the article
provides tips that will help attain maximum flexibility and compactness
at a reasonable initial cost.
Petroleum Refiner: The Oil Centennial Issue
January 1959
This issue of the Petroleum Refiner provided a detailed look at
the past 100 yr of the oil industry. This included the history of
refining and petrochemical discoveries and technologies, as well
as a look at the current global demand for petroleum products.
Find the best air fin cooler design
E. U. Nakayama, April 1959
Plant personnel must compare investment costs with operating
costs to come up with the best cooler design. This article
provides a sample problem that details this notion in action.
Which acetylene removal scheme is better?
W. H. Stanton, May 1959
Which method of acetylene removal-absorption or hydrogenation-is
the most economical? One method is economically
superior to the other depending upon the following variables:
plant size, byproduct value of acetylene and acetylene
made per 100 lbs of ethylene produced. This article provides
the economics of absorption vs. hydrogenation for removing
acetylene from rich ethylene streams.

Turbomachinery Control for Effi cient, Safe, and Reliable Operations
Bret Walter
Engineering Consultant,
Rotating Equipment/
Turbomachinery Controls
Honeywell
Around the world, companies must fi nd ways to increase plant availability and get
the most out of assets, while also dealing with smaller workforces and lower budgets.
Plant safety and productivity depend on turbomachinery performance; failures and
unplanned outages with this equipment can result in lost production and costly repairs.
Today's turbomachinery control technology for turbine governor and compressor
anti-surge applications must provide faster system response, higher availability, and
full standardization. Systems like Honeywell's Experion® PKS Turbomachinery Control
Solution allow end users to increase asset reliability, improve energy effi ciency, and
enhance machine safety by changing how turbines, compressors, generators, and
other equipment are managed with process automation systems to address crucial
operational challenges.
