Hydroprocessing 101: Catalyst Poisoning
Hydroprocessing
Facilitator:
Sergio Robledo, Unicat Catalyst Technologies
Speakers:
Adrian Azpilicueta, Nalco Water
Steve Mayo, Eurecat U.S. Incorporated
Montri Vichailak, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
This session will cover the sources, mechanisms, and mitigations of common inorganic poisons of hydroprocessing catalysts. First, we will cover the main types of poisons encountered in hydroprocessing units and their sources. Next the three main poisoning mechanisms will be reviewed along with the severity of poisoning and catalyst mitigations to extend cycle. After that we will consider mitigations upstream of the hydrotreater to extend cycle life. Finally, a refinery case study will be presented demonstrating a process of extending cycle length in a hydrotreater with feedstock poisons.

Renewables Q&A — Pt. 1
Sustainability
Facilitator:
Eric Legare, Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
Panelists:
William Bandy, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
Delbert Grotewold, Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions
Nathan Jannasch, Chevron U.S.A, Inc.
Matthew Kawabe, Topsoe, Inc.
Kamyar Keyvanloo, Phillips 66
Many new facilities were commissioned recently to produce renewable diesel and SAF from renewable feedstocks to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels while taking advantage of state and federal credits. Operating experience in this technology has been gathered by operators and their suppliers. This session will capture some of that expertise and share it with the audience in a traditional Q&A format. An experienced panel of Renewables experts from Operating and Technology companies will answer member supplied questions on operations, technology, reliability and lessons learned. Those in attendance are sure to gain valuable knowledge on this important topic.

Contractor Panel: Attracting and Keeping Young Engineers in Hard Crafts — Pt. 2
Maintenance
Facilitator:
Andy Woods, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP
Speakers:
Jim Griffin, San Jacinto College
Ferril Onyett, BrandSafway
Brian Novicki, Valero Energy Corporation
Will the energy industry have enough operating and design & construction personnel to operate and maintain existing assets and build and operate the infrastructure planned for the future? How can we address the changing needs of the generation about to enter the workforce? Are companies adopting and implementing advanced technologies to enhance safety, quality, and efficiency on each jobsite?
The panel, consisting of owners, EPCs, academia, and construction workforce training and development experts, will discuss how we can develop, engage, train and sustain enough personnel to meet the projected energy and infrastructure needs across the country.

Driving Down Coker Giveaway With AI-Based Process Control
Artificial Intelligence
Facilitator:
Atique Malik, AIControl LLC
Speakers:
Chris Harrison, Marathon Petroleum Corporation
This session will discuss the project development and workflow, implementation, and application maintenance of an Imubit DLPC that was used to reduce giveaway on drum cycles on a delayed coker unit. The DLPC was successful in reducing the number of cycles in which the target level was not achieved in the fixed cycle time period. This resulted in an overall reduction in the number of barrels given away in each cycle. The application has achieved great acceptance by Operations.
Participants will:
- Gain an understanding of the Imubit DLPC application to reduce giveway on Coker Drum cycles
- Gain an understanding of the workflow for an Imubit DLPC project
- Gain an understanding of unique challenges and lessons learned from the project
