IRPC Europe 2018 features top operators Eni, Sinopec, Indian Oil, and more

For 10 years, Hydrocarbon Processing’s International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC) has been the world's leading downstream technology event.

Join industry leaders and speakers at this high-level technical forum showcasing best practices in the industry and the latest technological advancements in the global petrochemical and refinery sector.

Presentation Highlights

LTAG: A newcomer for converting LCO to gasoline with high RON Sinopec
Light cycle oil (LCO) is an important byproduct of fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC). Due to the increasing severity of FCC operations, LCO with a higher aromatic content and lower cetane number is no longer appropriate as a blending component for clean diesel, even after being hydrogenated. To meet the urgent requirements for gasoline consumption and diesel quality, Sinopec discusses a new FCC technology that has been developed that can convert inferior LCO into gasoline with a high research octane number (RON).

indeDiesel: Innovative hydrotreating technology to produce BS-6/Euro-6 diesel fuel

Indian Oil Corp. Ltd.
Over the years, diesel hydrotreating has emerged as a major technology in downstream oil refining to reduce sulfur, nitrogen and aromatics, while enhancing cetane number and enabling compliance to diesel quality. This presentation discusses a new diesel hydrotreating technology that produces diesel fuel that meets the highest fuel quality regulations. Details on the technology will be provided, along with highlights on the performance of two commercial units now in operation.

SOCAR Heydar Aliyev refinery revamp and related projects
SOCAR/Fluor
An update on the $1.5-B revamp and expansion of SOCAR’s Heydar Aliyev refinery in Azerbaijan is provided, along with the operator’s planned, multibillion-dollar oil and gas processing complex.

How to improve the performance of an ageing hydrocracker
BP/Shell
This presentation follows the successful upgrade of an aging hydrocracker at BP’s Husky-Toledo refinery. This work included the removal, reconfiguration and replacement of the reactors’ internals.

Simultaneous production of high-purity benzene and gasoline from C6 heart-cut of FCC gasoline
Reliance Industries Ltd.
An innovative process is presented that recovers high-purity benzene from FCC C6 heart-cut stream, while producing environmentally friendly gasoline. The entire process uses extractive distillation without the requirement of any prior hydrogenation or preprocessing step to saturate the di-olefins in the feedstock to reduce impurities.

Modern alchemy: Waste to value with IH2 technology
Shell
This presentation details the continuous catalytic thermochemical IH2 process technology, which converts a broad-range of residues into gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. The economics and benefits of this technology will be discussed.
