Pyrolysis Technology
Sustainability
Pyrolysis is the thermal conversion of biomass, municipal waste and/or plastic in the absence of oxygen to produce a liquid product. This pyrolysis oil product will have various properties depending on the feedstock and technology. However, it can be further refined through e.g. hydrotreatment or co-processing in an FCC unit to produce steam cracker feed or other products. This session will focus on plastic pyrolysis technology and the role Refiners will play in enabling a circular economy for plastics.

Sour Water Ammonia Recovery - a Low Carbon Intensity Product
Crude, Sustainability
Technology exists to recover ammonia from Sour Water. This ammonia is considered a low carbon intensity (CI) source since it was a waste stream and can be used, for example, as a liquid hydrogen carrier for further low CI uses. This session will highlight technologies to enable ammonia recovery, utilization, and how ammonia recovery meshes into an overall facility nitrogen and sulfur management strategy.
