Description
Catalysis plays an increasingly critical role in modern petroleum refining and basic petrochemical industries as market demands for specifications of petroleum and petrochemical products are continuously changing. As the new on- and off-road emissions and fuel standards go into effect, engine manufacturers and refiners face critical challenges, both in the production and market compliance of their new technologies. Cost improvement, quality and control of the production are becoming a critical factor in the downstream product's market. Standards play essential role in supporting policies. Standardization must solve relationship among standards, laws and industry requirements.
Hydroprocessing Catalyst and Technologies for Clean Fuels
Clean Fuels and Sulphur Management
C4 and C5 Chemistry for Fuels and Petrochemistry
Cost Improvement in Petroleum Processing

Session: Petrochemicals
The Conference will consist of a broad selection of topics related to ethylene and other basic petrochemical products (amine, aromatics, fuel oxygenates, methanol, phenol, propylene oxide, styrene, ethylene oxide, etc.), advances in cracking furnace design, assessing process, maintenance of a single cell decoking, start-up environmental requirements, and alternative methods of producing propylene.
Advances in Olefin Production
Ethylene Plant Technology (Furnace Optimization, Coking Prediction, Start-up Strategy for Flaring Minimization, Feedstock Contaminants, Burner Technology Review, Advances in Distillation Technology, Maintenance, Energy Efficiency)
Ethylene Plant Safety
Non-conventional Way of Production of Petrochemicals from Natural Gas
Advanced Processes for Petrochemical Industry (Phenol, Ethylbenzene, Ethylene oxide, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, p-/m-Xylene)
Session: Impact of Biofuels and Natural Gas on Refinery Operations
Alternative fuels and renewable fuels will play a significant role in the market and in national economy. Great attention to flexibility and economics will force the refining sector to explore new roles for these products to support environment and performance requirements.
