RefComm® is the premier technical forum for project and process engineers, operators, maintenance, and other leaders to share knowledge and ideas relating to the Coking, CatCracker, Sulfur Recovery and I&E.

Moody Gardens Convention Center

May 2-6 2016

Conference Wednesday - Friday

Expand your knowledge of industry profitable practices, new technology and lessons learned for existing and new plants. This year we add SRU and I&E.

Exhibition Tuesday - Thursday

The Exhibition opens Tuesday evening with the Welcome Reception and continues Wednesday and Thursday during networking breaks and evening receptions.

Delayed Coking Unit (DCU)We will be discussing coker safety and reliability, drum de-heading safety, operations best practices, targeting more liquid yield, DCU material balance, steam purge valves, lockout/tagout, and more.

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC)Learn about maximizing FCC flexibility, balancing feed-stock options, equipment revamps, increasing LCO without sacrificing profits, operations and trouble-shooting, and reducing turnaround costs.

I&E (Instrumentation & Electrical)The entire refinery depends on instruments and electri-cal equipment. Understand how it works, explore case studies and discover the latest and greatest technolo-gies to make you profitable.

SRU (Sulfur Recovery Unit)Government legislation around the world has imposed more stringent guidelines on sulfur recovery and emissions. Keep up on the tighter regulations and new technologies.

Our global economy is flooded with light and heavy crudes. While the low feedstock price challenges upstream, it provides profit opportunities downstream. To prosper and excel, leverage your existing assets. After a decade of successfully hosting the world’s largest Delayed Coking conference, RefComm®, expanded into the Fluid Catalytic Cracking arena. The conference expands further in 2016 to include Sulfur Recovery for operating efficiently and meeting regulations. Overlapping these process units, is a new track I&E (Instrumentation & Electrical).

We are now seeking presenters, discussion leaders, and workgroup subject-matter-experts.

®Training

Training courses conducted by expert instructors using a variety of learning techniques: lecture, discussion, visuals, hands on practice, and sometimes actual equipment.

Coker Process, Design, and TroubleshootingMay 2-3 with Evan HydeThis advanced course covers the design, operations and troubleshooting of the delayed coker.

Delayed Coker Operations and ReliabilityMay 2-3 with Gary PitmanFor new and experienced workers who want to broaden their under-standing of the delayed coker unit.

Mechanical Integrity Management of Coke DrumsMay 2-3 with Dr. Mahmod SammanHone skills needed to understand coke drum mechanical and structural failure modes, manage their integrity in an efficient manner and improve reliability, performance, and safety.

Instrument and Electrical FundamentalsMay 2-3 with Charlie SmithThe entire refinery depends on instruments and electrical equipment. In this two day course, you will understand how they work, explore case studies and discover the latest and greatest technologies to make you profitable

SRU Operations and Troubleshooting, TGU ReviewMay 2-3 with Noel VicenteThis course covers operations, troubleshooting preventive maintenance. You will explore start-ups and shutdowns as well as sulfur plant commissioning and initial start-up. You will receive an overview of burner management. Then you will move on to sulfur plant incinerator, sulfur pit and a review of tailgas units. Safety is included!

World Class ReliabilityMay 6 with Charlie SmithThe entire refinery depends on instruments and electrical equipment. In this one day course, you will learn how to improve or streamline these critical tasks, optimize resources and reduce production risk.

Sulfur Process and Operations EngineeringMay 6 with Noel VicenteThis course covers SRU Basic Operations, SRU Testing Methods and Analysis, Design, Optimization and Capacity Evaluation.

Effect of Feed Properties in Fluid Catalytic CrackingMay 6 with Alan EnglishThe course will focus on how FCC feed properties affect the operating unit’s, yields and product properties and the underlying reasons for these affects.

Your course pass includes lunch and cof-fee breaks. Attendees also receive a class manual that can serve as a valuable office reference.
