RefComm

You must attend RefComm to get the information! Daniel Lopez, Ruhrpumpen and Vasile Buga of Rompetrol (KMG International) shared insights into the recent revamp and automation of Rompetrol’s DCU. We had plenty of questions from the audience and great debate. #refcomm

Excellent information on processing non-standard feedstock in the DCU was shared today by Abdulaziz Doukhi from Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC). hashtag #refcomm

The RefComm Europe morning sessions provided valuable insights into safety, design, and performance improvements in refinery operations. Presentations covered key topics, including a review of different sampler designs and lessons learned from a near-miss incident during coker feed sampling. Attendees also explored best practices for Coke Drum Bottom Head Flange Design & Assembly to prevent leakage and ensure safer and more efficient operations. Another highlight was the discussion on Delayed Coker Unit Online Spalling Performance and new enhancements using Tubacoat Technology, driving performance and efficiency gains. #refcomm

CRU’s Kaitlin Gebbie just finished her presentation on renewable energy in Europe and its interplay with technical carbon products! Key takeaway: Renewable energy is firmly rising across Europe, driven by strict decarbonisation goals. But here's an interesting angle—these same goals might also create growth opportunities for technical carbon and petroleum coke products! At CRU, clients are asking how they can tap into this growth, especially in areas like needle coke for lithium-ion batteries, electrodes, and electric arc steelmaking.

RefComm Europe opened with attendees being asked “What do you consider core competencies for our industry?” This is what they said – do they match yours? #RefComm

Setting the Stage for the Next Decade, "The industry has gone through many changes but has adjusted everytime”. , Becht's Jean-Gael le Floch presentation had attendees discussing the future of the industry at RefComm Europe #RefComm
