Emissions reduction is at the forefront of many companies’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments. As oil and gas facility owners reach agreements with governing bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to curtail emissions, now is the time to understand how to capitalize on “easy wins” for emissions reduction so you can make necessary changes to your supply chain, specifications, and upgrade plans. Learning to control fugitive emissions is a good place to start, as these leaks not only threaten regulatory compliance, but can negatively impact your company’s profitability if left unchecked. 

Join us on September 12 to grow your knowledge in this important area. In a free webinar, we’ll cover:

• Establishing a Low-E protocol for components, regardless of piping or tubing, focusing on API 641/624, ISO-15848-1, and EPA Method 21
• Standardizing training for employees and contractors per IOGP, which will help increase safety, reduce leaks, and increase reliability of small bore systems
• Auditing your utility systems and equipment to find efficiencies, focusing on boiler efficiencies to reduce base load

In this session, W. R. Grace & Co. will introduce PARAGON^™ FCC catalyst, which incorporates a novel, rare earth-based, vanadium trap into the highest matrix surface area catalyst solutions for the FCC. With PARAGON^™ technology, refiners can widen their FCC operating window and increase feed flexibility for greater profitability. Find out more about the V-trapping technology and how this leads to maximum bottoms upgrading along with improved conversion at constant coke yield, allowing refiners to produce fuels in a more sustainable manner.

Investments in renewable diesel (RD) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production are gaining considerable momentum and are expected to play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions for heavy-duty transportation. Currently, the majority of these projects focus on the production of HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids).

Against this backdrop, ART Hydroprocessing, announces the launch of ENDEAVOR^TM catalyst systems for the hydroprocessing of renewable feeds. ENDEAVOR^TM consists of EnRich® guard and hydrotreating catalysts, as well as EnHance^TM isomerization catalysts, enabling customers to process a wide range of 100% renewable feeds, with the maximum yields.

This webcast discusses some of the legislation and incentives driving demand for RD and SAF, the challenges associated with the processing of renewable feeds, and the catalyst technologies developed to address this.

ART is a joint venture between Chevron and W.R Grace, and is a leading supplier of hydroprocessing catalysts used in production of cleaner fuels.

Early returns from an ARC Advisory Group survey indicate that optimizing plant performance and eliminating process upsets are considered a critical component of asset performance management (APM) systems. Many leading companies are successfully using APM solutions—including machine learning or AI—for rotating equipment and static assets, with 27% of those also applying AI to optimize the process or production.

Join ARC Advisory Group Analyst Peter Reynolds for this upcoming webinar to hear the results of this study and get answers to these questions:

• What value or return do companies see from various site-wide APM approaches?
• How is APM enabling predictive maintenance and what assets are covered?
• How are asset-owners deciding on internal custom data science solutions versus commercial AI solutions?

The webinar will also include case study examples of companies maximizing profitability with APM.

As the world strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will continue to be a rapidly growing market. The available global triglyceride feedstocks are insufficient to meet the increasing demand for SAF and additional pathways are necessary. Meeting future demand will require efficient “power to liquids” pathways, which produce eFuels from CO₂ using green electricity. This presentation provides an overview of what drives SAF demand, the most promising routes to SAF today, and Honeywell’s efficient, scalable solution for CO₂ to jet production: the UOP eFining™ process.
