Case for Carbon Intensity Improvement for Gasoline Units
Sustainability, Gasoline Processing
The carbon intensity of Reforming Units is inherently one of the higher processes in the refinery due to its energy requirements. This presentation will explore ways to improve carbon intensity with various equipment upgrades, as well as showing the positive impact that optimal catalyst performance can have on reducing Carbon Intensity.

Renewables Process Safety: An Operators Perspective Part 1
Sustainability
The presentation aims to delve into the critical aspects of process safety in renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) manufacturing, addressing the challenges and opportunities inherent to the transition towards sustainable energy solutions. As renewable technologies, particularly renewable diesel and SAF, continue to evolve, ensuring robust process safety mechanisms is paramount to mitigate risks and enhance operational reliability.
We'll explore various incidents and lessons learned shared by leading operating companies in the renewable sector. These real-world examples will illustrate the complexities and potential hazards associated with renewable diesel and SAF operations, emphasizing the importance of stringent safety protocols, proactive risk management strategies and rapid integration of lessons learned.

What to Know About Water Intensity and How to Measure It
Sustainability
Water is an essential commodity in the refining process, and in many plants as much water can be used as BBL of oil. Increasing water cost and scarcity creates operating expense savings opportunity in an area that may have historically not been given much attention. Some of the historical challenges when addressing water intensity in a refinery are a lack of ownership within the facility, sparse metering, value at system level not often apparent at equipment level, and a mindset that utilities work never outranks other work.
This session will discuss some of the historical challenges in reducing or controlling water intensity in a complex refinery system. We will identify some no cost and low-cost means to help address issues that can reduce water costs and waste. A detailed drill down will be presented into ways to understand and measure a plants water intensity. This discussion will identify techniques around optimization of specific operating components that make up the primary water users, and how to work toward water reduction and resource conservation in a refinery.
