In this session we will discuss different aspects related to the design, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance of different wash water systems operating in different units of a refinery. Since it is a critical application from the reliability point of view, different practices and criteria are applied based on experience.
Learn from an incident where a sand blast pot was opened under pressure. We will discuss how the site was effected by this incident and how Motiva partnered with onsite contractors to create an onboarding document and video to ensure this type of incident is not repeated.

This presentation will show how Phillips 66 was able to define a strategy to benefit from the digitalization of their Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) information. After multiple attempts, it became evident that using a single tool or solution for the entire safety lifecycle was too challenging because of the established work processes and existing tools. Instead, we identified solutions that connected data between the tools and then leveraged the benefits of digital data to provide useful insights.

In this session, GST’s will show how they worked with Ergon in order to avoid some of the pitfalls encountered while designing or troubleshooting new or existing fired heaters. The session will provide means to increase operability and reliability of fired heater systems. GST will also present their patented innovative technology that creates flameless combustion at radiant flux rates and flue gas temperatures common to refinery process heaters. GST’s new technology also meets the industry's stringent requirements for environmental, safety, reliability, operability, and maintainability. This session will also present the benefits of having cooler and more controlled combustion and offer technological solutions, thus providing a peak into GST’s most recent advancements in heater technology. Their latest advancements affords a much improved controllability for units that require a large range of operation.
There are many different opportunities and career paths in the fuel and petrochemical industries. Here are a few programs to help you get moving in the right direction.
What comes next for returning service members varies greatly. For McNeill and Harbin, both found rewarding work that instilled pride in them not too dissimilar from what they felt serving their country - in the fuel refining and petrochemical industries.
BAYTOWN, TEXAS – A decade ago, when Mike Zamora ran ExxonMobil’s Baytown petrochemical plant, his vision to expand the facility and boost its capacity was nothing but a pipe dream.
This career requires you to spend long periods of time away from home and travel great distances, but you also have the opportunity to work independently and see the country.
