Here are a few ideas on the subject. Additions and deletions welcome.
1. Safety Integrated Systems (SIS, SIL), instrumentation with known reliability
2. Mag Gauges instead of Gauge Glasses
3. Mag drive seal-less pump/motors
4. Very low sulfur processes for diesel
5. Very low sulfur processes for gasoline (Catalytic Distillation per CD-Tech)
6. Partial combustion of heavy oil, coke, coal, for hydrogen and power
7. Reliable trip systems to limit relief quantities to flare
8. Flue gas scrubbing for dust and sulfur dioxide
9. Low NOX burners
10. Gas Seals for centrifugal compressors
11. Settling-out Pressure for increased throughput on hydrotreating units. (API RP 521, Appendix B)
12. Various on-line analyzers
13. Improved continuous product blending including most products
14. Improved sulfur plant tail gas treating un
