Sulfur 2010 Review

“Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.” -- Mark Twain (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. 1835-1910)

Hydrocarbon Engineering’s annual Sulfur Review issue is out.

Quoting from the HE Web (http://www.energyglobal.com/magazines/latestissue/hydrocarbon-engineering.aspx ) …

"The main feature in this issue is the annual sulfur review, providing an overview of sulfur technology currently available to the downstream industry. The April regional reports are from Lloyd’s Register and David Hayes and look at the European and Chinese oil and gas industries respectively. This issue also focuses on petrochemical technologies with articles from Univation, Sud Chemie and John Zink."

"SULFUR RECOVERY IN SMALL REFINERIES
"Tony Barnette, Merichem Chemicals & Refinery Services LLC, Gas Technology Products, USA, looks at the sulfur recovery process for independent refineries in China."

"SULFUR 2010 REVIEW
"Hydrocarbon Engineering provides a comprehensive overview of the key technologies available to plant/refinery operations."

As librarian for Saudi Aramco subsidiary Aramco Services Co., we subscribed to Hydrocarbon Engineering and found it to be very popular among the engineers. If your focus is on desulfurization research, you may not learn that much from a magazine that highlights applied technologies. But if your focus is another area of refining technology, HE makes it easy to keep up with developments in related technologies.

A Palladian publication, HE is unusual in that it is available only to those who subscribe to the hard copy, although hard copy subscribers also have access to PDF versions of each issue.

One caveat … while the information in each article is valuable, you will notice that the company represented by each author coincidentally(?) has a full page ad next to the article. Due diligence requires readers to obtain independent research on the technologies described. Your corporate librarian can help with that.
