Analysis of Dew-Point Corrosion in Crude Fractionator Overhead Materials Using Advanced Corrosion Monitoring

Severe localized corrosion in crude unit overhead systems is a critical integrity concern, particularly under transient wetting conditions. This study combines high-frequency online ultrasonic (UT) monitoring with a simplified dew-point temperature margin (ΔT) to evaluate short-t...

Engineering a Highly meta -Selective Biphenyl Monooxygenase for the Biosynthesis of High-Value Polymer Precursors

Abstract The meta-selective C–H functionalization of aromatic substrates lacking meta-directing electron-withdrawing groups remains challenging. To engineer the regioselective enzymatic conversion of biphenyl (BP) to 3,3′-dihydroxybiphenyl (33DHBP), an industrial precursor to hig...
