> Crude-to-Consumables: Transforming the
Petrochemical and Refining Sector
> Presentor: Sourabh
Mukherjee, Director of Petrochemicals, Jacobs
Around the globe, there is considerable interest in the concept of a Crude-to-Consumables ("C2C") complex where crude oil is converted to consumable products such as petrochemicals instead of into traditional transportation fuels.
There will be a continuing role for new liquid-based steam crackers, and a significant role for heavy naphtha reforming for aromatics to meet growing paraxylene demand. At the same time, the global outlook in demand growth of transportation fuels does not appear to be as strong as the growth story around the petrochemicals world.
Sourabh will describe trends in global crude oil and petrochemical demand growth and discuss the impact of shale gas on the cost of ethylene production versus other global feedstocks as well as on the economics of the C2C configuration and project IRR versus conversion to chemicals.
> Bridging the
Refinery-Petrochemical Gap with Fluidized Catalytic Cracking
Technologies
> Presentor: Mai Phuong Do, Senior
Technology Advisor, Axens
Refinery and Petrochemicals integration is increasingly being viewed in the Oil industry as a way to balance market risks over a wider range of applications. In addition, many long term projections which are developed to assist Oil companies or private companies in decision making in an ever changing business environment, identify Light Olefins and Aromatics as healthy growth markets.
For these reasons, conventional Residue Cat Cracking technology has been used extensively as a solid platform to address the residue conversion maximization into Olefins and Aromatics. Processing heavy feedstocks while achieving high selectivity towards olefins and aromatics requires specific design knowhow, an appropriate selection of specific technology features as well as an optimized recycle management.
Through a selection of case-studies from thenAsian region, Mai Phuong Do will demonstrate the versatility of the R2RTM technology to fit into refinery expansion projects as well as grassroot new refinery & petchem complex.
> Preparing Petchem Equipment for Entry:
Can Speed and Safety Co-exist?
> Presentor: Dr. Steve
Matza, Chief Scientist, Zyme-Flow Decon Technology
ALL refineries and petrochemical plants must perform some form of decontamination every time a unit is brought down for personnel entry, hot work, and inspection. Industrial equipment must be safe for entry by destroying, neutralizing, making harmless, or removing hazardous unwanted contaminants.
Dr Steve will give an analysis of current options for cleaning and decontaminating plant equipment and share best practice introduction using unique chemistry and application. He will conduct a case study to show the reduction of time and increase in safety using best practices.
