The hydrocarbon processing industry
(HPI) is constantly investing in new technologies
to optimize operations. These initiatives
are aimed at providing refiners and
petrochemical producers with the technologies
and services for safer, more reliable,
more profitable and sustainable operations.
These technologies and services will
be on display at Hydrocarbon Processing's
IRPC Operations technical event.
Built after a successful IRPC Process
Technology event, which garnered more
than 1,600 registrants worldwide, IRPC
Operations will be held virtually September
21-22. This global, virtual event will
feature three tracks that focus on optimizing
refining and petrochemical plant
operations. Nearly 70% of the event's presentations
will be led by owner-operator
organizations from nearly 20 countries
around the world.
Innovations Showcase. Prior to the
start of IRPC Operations, a one-day
seminar will be held by Axens. The Innovation
Showcase workshop will provide
viewers the latest Axens technologies
that are revolutionizing the refining and
