Industry Perspectives
A sincere thank you
for a successful IRPC
In late September, Hydrocarbon Processing hosted the International
Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC) in
Houston, Texas (U.S.)-the first in-person IRPC in nearly 3
yr. For more than 14 yr, the IRPC technical event has gathered
key players in the global refining and petrochemicals sector to
share knowledge, best practices and the latest technologies,
services and equipment that are revolutionizing the processing
industries. This year's IRPC highlighted dozens of new and updated
technologies, services and equipment that are leading the
hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) towards a safer, more
efficient, more profitable and sustainable work environment.
The two-day event was highlighted by timely keynote presentations
on decarbonization, the current state of the HPI and
a look at the refinery of the future. These presentations were
conducted by:
* Isa Mbaraka, Sustainability Director, Olefins and
Aromatics Technology Center, Dow Chemical
* Patricia Scozzafave, Decarbonization Consultancy
Services Manager, Shell
* Poornima Sharma, Vice President, Operations,
Americas and Europe, Technip Energies
* Stan Carp, Senior Manager-Integrated Project Solutions,
Honeywell UOP
* Matt Kimmel, Senior Research Analyst-Refining
and Oil Markets, Wood Mackenzie.
The bulk of IRPC's agenda featured presentations from HPI
professionals around the world on the following topics: plant
design, engineering and construction; process optimization,
emerging technologies, process controls, instrumentation and
automation; digital transformation; the circular economy; biofuels
and alternative/renewable fuels; FCC/hydrocracking;
alkylation; maintenance and reliability; and gas treatment/
processing, among others.
Hydrocarbon Processing extends a heartfelt thank you to all
presenters for their time and effort in sharing their knowledge
and experience. The technologies, best practices, maintenance
know-how and operational efficiencies were on full display to
inform and present a call-to-action for a safer, more profitable
and more efficient working environment. The knowledge presented
through case studies, videos and anecdotes displayed
how the industry's technologies and workflows are operated
in real-world scenarios. What better way to learn than through
real-world experiences?
Hydrocarbon Processing would also like to thank the sponsors
of the event: Alleima, Aspentech, Atlas Copco, Honeywell
UOP and Linde, as well as the numerous exhibitors. And, as
always, we want to thank our hydrocarbon processing community
for their continued support.
The ability to share knowledge and best practices from colleagues
around the world is a testament to the desire of industry
personnel to pursue operational excellence.
