Using Risk Based Inspection (RBI) as part of the unit asset strategy allows for optimized intervals for fixed equipment inspection and turnaround cycles. This opportunity must be balanced against both compliance and economic drivers to ensure the full financial benefits are realized. This session summarizes Hydroprocessing-specific damage mechanisms, lessons learned, and key equipment evaluations that should be considered when extending inspection and maintenance intervals.
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.
Given low domestic recycling rates for plastic, the efficacy of recycling is often called into question. But that doesn’t mean recycling doesn’t work. Advanced recycling technologies — as well as traditional mechanical recycling — play a pivotal role in addressing plastic waste and recovering the value in used plastics.
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.
