This session will highlight Monroe Energy, a small northeast refinery, and their journey toward replacing one of their oldest and most prolific processing assets: the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Reactor. The presenters will provide an overview of the project conception, engineering, fabrication, logistics, installation, and post start-up operation. A key focus will be the discussion of challenges and successes from the construction phase of the project, as well as lessons learned for future events.

The two most controversial and potentially useful aspects of applied AI reside in Generative AI and Reinforcement Learning. Generative AI has applications in technical training, procedures and guided application development. Reinforcement Learning has applications in nonlinear closed loop optimization. Both areas will be of interest to refinery engineers and managers. This session is an extension of AI 101 which presented a broader view of the areas of application for AI.
