Join this session to hear the latest on API's 5th edition of Recommended Practice (RP) 751, Safe Operation of Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation Unit. In this session, we're discussing maintenance from the operator perspective, integrity management and other safety programs for hydrofluoric (HF) acid alkylation units.
This session will present and discuss how the implementation of common business processes, complex scientific and business analytics and related performance dashboards utilizing low code technologies have rapidly maximized levels of organizational performance. Low/No Code platforms now enable experienced knowledge workers in front line organizations to add significant levels of incremental value as ‘Citizen Developers’ and ‘Citizen Data Scientist’. Without incurring the traditional levels of cost and external development overhead. In an environment where compliance with defined work practices and procedures, and performance transparency are so critical, it is amazing that critical workflows continued to be consigned to manual tasks and office tools like email to actuate.
Participants will:
Gain an understanding of the current and future state of Low/No Code technology,
Appreciate the achievable benefits to be realized from Low/No Code platforms,
Learn how to maximize and secure the best results from your human talent, and
Secure insights on how to begin a Low/No Code business process automation initiative.

The hydrogen economy has become a central point of discussion as the energy industry evolves towards carbon reduction and “net zero” targets. Central to efficient production and utilization of lower carbon footprint hydrogen is the development of hydrogen hubs, which are defined as the network and supply chain of producers, consumers, and infrastructure for decarbonized hydrogen. This session will highlight delineation of the colors of hydrogen, potential end uses of hydrogen and summarize H2 hubs and early learnings.
