This session will review a collaboration between UOP and Marathon to optimize operation of the FCC bottoms section. After detecting fouling in the main column slurry pumparound packing, an innovative internals modification was implemented to minimize this in the future. This presentation will review the observed benefits of the new internals and provide an overview of key variables to monitor in the bottoms circuit.

This panel session will explore how operating companies leverage industry good practices and advanced computing technology to swiftly process predictive analytics. It will also cover the use of high-performance HMI graphics and effective alarm management to enhance situational awareness.
Participants will:
· Learn how analytics (predictive, process conditions nearing an operating limit, reliability focused machine learning, corrosion prediction tied to IOWs, etc.) can assist with identifying pre-abnormal conditions and take appropriate actions to avoid an abnormal situation (prevention).
· Learn how high-performance HMI graphics can improve situational awareness to detect abnormal situations before alarms occur and perform required action(s) faster to avoid consequences.
· Understand the aspect of dealing with abnormal situations is alarm management. It is essential to maximize the time available for operators to respond while keeping the number of alarms triggered at a minimum. Preventing abnormal situations before the alarms activate keeps the console operators focused on the operation without having to manage an abnormal event.

This panel is intended to attract Turnaround and Operational leaders who would like to gain insight on good practices that industry peers are using to prepare and execute SD/ Decommissioning and SU/Commissioning of units for maintenance events. This discussion will also include safe work practices insights for lock out tag out, energy control, blinding or walk the line/job practices that help improve safe outcomes of an event. The panel will also share their perspectives on future opportunities related to transformative technologies and practices for turnaround operations.

Operation of a complex refinery process involves keeping the process within varous types of limits. These include safe operating limits, integrity operating windows, machine protection or other reliability limits, and product quality limits. This diverse background panel session from process controls and process safety management explores how to effectively identify these parameters and keep the limits in front of operators using instrumented shutdowns, alarm systems, and other monitoring and alerting software.

This is a panel session follow-on based on the recent AFPM webinar by Phillips 66 Bayway that discussed HMI and alarming enhancements during a control room modernization project. Key components discussed in the webinar were alarm rationalization and the development of HMI graphics based on human-centered design principles with the goal to improve safe reliable operation at the facility. Key design considerations come from industry standards and good shared practices, along with valuable input from key stakeholders across departments. This panel session will also discuss operator development to improve situation awareness as part of a control room modernization.
