IRPC Operations. Built on the essence of topics in the pages

of Hydrocarbon Processing, IRPC Operations will highlight the
latest equipment, services, tools and technologies to optimize
refining and petrochemical operations and maintenance efforts for a safer, more efficient, more profitable and sustainable
work environment.
The global, virtual event, to be held September 21-22, will
focus on several categories that address the challenges in hydrocarbon processing operations. These categories include
emerging processing technologies; catalysts technologies; engineering/construction best practices; integration techniques;
maintenance and reliability; digital transformation; circular
economy; process controls, instrumentation and automation;
clean fuels, biofuels and alternative fuels production; sustainability and more.
The IRPC Operations " call for abstracts " is underway. To submit an abstract, visit www.HydrocarbonProcessing.com/events.
