3. Preheat Train Monitoring Methods
How do you reprocess slop oil in your refinery? Join us at this Town Hall session to discuss how others in the refining industry handle slop and best practices for success. Come share your experiences with the group and learn from industry experts about effective slop oil reprocessing techniques.
Pyrophoric materials pose significant safety risks during unit shutdown and maintenance activities, and pyrophoric incidents continue to occur across the refining industry. Effective strategies for prevention and mitigation of pyrophoric activity are critical aspects of turnaround planning and execution. This presentation will explore the underlying mechanisms of pyrophoricity and discuss best practices for managing pyrophoric risk, including chemical treatment, engineering, and procedural solutions. Additionally, the presentation will dig into a real industry incident that occurred in 2017, the root causes and the steps taken in the past seven years to prevent recurrence. By providing a comprehensive overview of pyrophoric activity prevention strategies, this session aims to equip refining professionals with the knowledge and tools to mitigate safety hazards and enhance operational integrity in high-risk environments.

Join us for the first ever Reliability & Maintenance Bootcamp!
This series is designed for new engineers in reliability and maintenance who seek practical technical skills, hands-on experience, and exposure to real-world scenarios.
Speakers:
Carlos Acosta, Phillips 66
Abby Esterly, AFPM
Participate in the Bootcamp Technology workshop to explore a simulated potential leak scenario and learn immediate response actions within the initial five minutes. Additionally, discover the benefits of using an acrylic pump to resolve inspection challenges.
This session will help and encourage attendees to:
We will explore scenarios of when things go wrong, delve into PSM regulations, discuss RAGAGEP (Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices), and emphasize the significance of going beyond compliance.
Participants will learn:
How to move beyond compliance
How to ‘fail safely’
How “risk” can be assessed differently – the importance of different points of view
Facilitators:
Bill Clark, Phillips 66
