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

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

Calling all coking personnel: For the last six years we have hosted an annual Coker Safety Group, a free event that runs alongside alongside RefComm Galveston. The group, which meets on Friday of the conference, was created to provide a technical forum to help ensure that our individual delayed coking units (DCUs) are operating in the safest manner possible. To this end, the focus of these meetings is on such issues as plant safety (including equipment and procedures), risk assessments, process monitoring, start-up and shut down guidelines, and philosophy regarding safety systems.  Attendees share experiences, learn from others, and to develop ideas to operate DCU facilities more safely.  No one company can have complete knowledge of these plants. Therefore, it is hoped that the collective experience of this group can help improve safety of these facilities. ***This year's topic will focus on shutdown lessons learned, a hot topic you won't want to miss. It will be held Friday, May 3 from 8 am - 2 pm.*** These meetings are closed door and highly confidential. We ask all attendees to contribute to the discussion and space is limited to two people per company. Refinery personnel only. If you would like to attend, please email [email protected] or message Becky Peterson on LinkedIn. to reserve your place. RSVPing in advance is required.
