Sustainability
The potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) lies in their ability to revolutionize the energy sector with their modular and scalable design. Unlike traditional reactors, SMRs can be constructed in factories, ensuring uniform quality and reducing construction times. While their compact size allows for easier transportation and installation, with the promise of enhanced safety features, lower initial investment, and flexibility to meet varying energy demands. SMR technologies currently under development will be discussed with how they will provide new options specifically for the needs of the refining and petrochemical industries.
Participants will:
- Gain a fundamental understanding of current SMR technologies
- Learn about potential Use Cases for SMR’s in refining and petrochemical manufacturing
- Learn timeframes for SMR availability
