Post-Conference Refining Technology Seminars
Individual seminar times may vary. Contact host company for more information via emails listed below. Hydrogen Plant Seminar and Q&A presented by Süd-Chemie The seminar is designed to provide useful knowledge and key understanding to engineers, operators, and other key stakeholders of hydrogen plants. This seminar also includes an overview of designs, feedstocks, and hydrogen purity. Steam methane reforming, reactions, types of reformers, and reforming catalysts: thermodynamics and kinetics, operation, loading, startup, shutdown, monitoring performance/troubleshooting. Attendees will have an excellent opportunity to ask questions, network, and most importantly, share best practices. For more information contact Ross Brunson of Süd-Chemie at Ross.Brunson@sud-chemie.com. Fundamentals of Desalter Operation presented by Baker Hughes The course is aimed at crude unit engineers who want to know how to get the most out of their desalters. Topics will include the benefits of desalting, desalter design, operating factors that impact desalter performance, and what to monitor to ensure good performance. One section will be devoted to impact on desalter performance by crude oil quality, wash water quality and slop oil. A special advanced topic will be given on methods to reduce oil undercarry and the impact of desalter performance on wastewater treatment.
