CatCracking

Check out these great topics taking place RefComm 2021, May 10-14. These are just a few of the many catcracking technical presentations and vendor spotlight programming that we've got in store for you. You can view the full technical program here: https://refiningcommunity.com/refcomm-2021/technical-presentations/
If you're a refiner, you can even attend FREE! Visit www.refcomm.com to learn more and download the complete agenda. Shell Becht Engineering BT, Inc.

The RefComm 2021 Agenda is now LIVE! Visit www.refcomm.com and click on the Agenda button to see the full lineup.

Reboilers using an inlet steam control valve arrangement can provide significant economics and control benefits to certain distillation tower installations. By exposing the full surface area of a reboiler to steam for effective heat transfer, the steam pressure can be lowered – which can reduce the fouling that can occur with higher pressure steam and the corrosion that can occur with flooding a tube bundle....To help improve reboiler performance when using inlet steam control valve operation, TLV reviews historical negative experiences and provides insight into design options to mitigate condensate backup in reboiler operation in a presentation at RefComm 2021.

The Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) plays a critical role in determining refiners’ overall profitability. It is of utmost importance to maximize the flexibility in FCC process to effectively respond to dynamic market conditions. The flexibility in FCC operation depends on various factors including operational constraints and catalyst features. BASF has a diverse catalyst portfolio and an extensive FCC technical expertise that can provide refiners with the flexibility to optimize FCCs. BASF will cover the utilization of various FCC catalysts solutions as a technology application to minimize the value loss as a result of the shifts in FCC economics and optimize operations in a technical presentation at RefComm 2021. In addition, a couple of refinery examples will be discussed in detail! Have you signed up to attend yet?

The testing of FCCU main blower and wet gas compressor control systems is always a challenge as all tests and verifications at vendor premises are performed on Simulation mode, without the actual compressor or blower. VVInEx developed special dynamic modeling of the actual compressor based on the actual performance data. This allows more detailed and precise testing of the control system prior to the delivery, with less critical adjustments on site. https://refiningcommunity.com/presentation/fccu-main-blower-and-wet-gas-compressor-ucp-testing-using-dynamic-modeling/ You can learn more about this in a technical presentation at RefComm 2021-- May 10-14. Refiners get in free! Ask us how.

The focus of Daily Thermetrics' presentation at RefComm 2021 will be on identifying and discussing the most critical tool for temperature measurement in DCU, FCCU, and SRU units. The data acquisition tools to be discussed include: heater tube skin thermocouples, high hardness thermowells, and Daily Thermetrics’ ImpermaWell™ technology for reaction furnaces. In each case, Daily Thermetrics will outline the most common design challenges or failure mechanisms, and will share its expertise on how to overcome these challenges to capture consistent, accurate, and reliable temperature data. https://refiningcommunity.com/presentation/temperature-measurement-in-the-dcu-fccu-and-sru/
