CA Consumers, Environment Not Served by Restricting Access to Global Energy

Limiting California’s access to the exact types of crude oil its facilities need will only increase prices for the state’s consumers and travelers. Drivers are already dealing with gasoline prices in excess of $5 per gallon and the highest fuel taxes of the 50 states. Confining energy producers and consumers to a smaller pool of crude oil will make a very sensitive price environment that much worse.

Lessons Learned from Spent Acid Rail Car Incident

Learning From Incidents


This session will share an incident from the summer of 2022 where an RV lifted on a spent acid rail car. Key topics will include the conditions that led to the relief, the response to mitigate the release, and the causal understanding of why the relief occurred. Finally, the discussion will focus on considerations for preventing future similar releases.

Gasoline Process


Facilitator:
Randy Peterson, Elessent Clean Technologies

Speakers:
Wade Hollman, Phillips 66
Rick Ullrich, Veolia Water Technologies and Solutions

A taskforce was formed as a follow-up to the presentation from PEMEX at the 2023 Summit. A goal of this taskforce is to study what causes some spent acid to be more reactive than typical. Another goal is to develop a simple test to help determine whether spent acid is safe to transport.
