Through our relationships with strategic partners, Honeywell UOP is observing a rapid change of companies looking to co-process renewable feedstocks along their more traditional fossil feedstock. Honeywell UOP is the original energy trailblazer who pioneered the production of renewable fuels and petrochemical feedstock with a range of successful commercial technologies such as Ecofining™. Honeywell UOP’s expertise and range of co-processing solutions can help reduce the carbon footprint of conventional refining processes including hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and fluidized catalytic cracking. Honeywell UOP offers bankable and quickly implementable process revamp studies, equipment offerings, and catalyst solutions to co-process a variety of renewable feeds reliably and cost-effectively. Our solutions ensure the high yields of desired products, reduce energy consumption and raw material usage for lower carbon footprint reduction. Building on the proven reliability of Honeywell UOP technologies over a century, our customers can continue to reduce the carbon footprint of their operations with UOP Co-Processing technologies for a sustainable future. Join us to learn more about the co processing marketplace and how Honeywell UOP is powering the future of refining and petrochemicals.

Investments in renewable diesel (RD) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production are gaining considerable momentum and are expected to play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions for heavy-duty transportation. Currently, the majority of these projects focus on the production of HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids).

Against this backdrop, ART Hydroprocessing, announces the launch of ENDEAVOR^TM catalyst systems for the hydroprocessing of renewable feeds. ENDEAVOR^TM consists of EnRich® guard and hydrotreating catalysts, as well as EnHance^TM isomerization catalysts, enabling customers to process a wide range of 100% renewable feeds, with the maximum yields.

This webcast discusses some of the legislation and incentives driving demand for RD and SAF, the challenges associated with the processing of renewable feeds, and the catalyst technologies developed to address this.

ART is a joint venture between Chevron and W.R Grace, and is a leading supplier of hydroprocessing catalysts used in production of cleaner fuels.

Early returns from an ARC Advisory Group survey indicate that optimizing plant performance and eliminating process upsets are considered a critical component of asset performance management (APM) systems. Many leading companies are successfully using APM solutions—including machine learning or AI—for rotating equipment and static assets, with 27% of those also applying AI to optimize the process or production.

Join ARC Advisory Group Analyst Peter Reynolds for this upcoming webinar to hear the results of this study and get answers to these questions:

• What value or return do companies see from various site-wide APM approaches?
• How is APM enabling predictive maintenance and what assets are covered?
• How are asset-owners deciding on internal custom data science solutions versus commercial AI solutions?

The webinar will also include case study examples of companies maximizing profitability with APM.

As the world strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) will continue to be a rapidly growing market. The available global triglyceride feedstocks are insufficient to meet the increasing demand for SAF and additional pathways are necessary. Meeting future demand will require efficient “power to liquids” pathways, which produce eFuels from CO₂ using green electricity. This presentation provides an overview of what drives SAF demand, the most promising routes to SAF today, and Honeywell’s efficient, scalable solution for CO₂ to jet production: the UOP eFining™ process.

Societal demand for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is leading to a major shift in the way energy is used within refineries and petrochemical facilities. This webcast will discuss several options for supplementing existing and new fired heaters, fully or partially, through electric heating, as well as:

• The conversion of electric power to heat in large scale heaters
• The heater structure, layout and safety considerations
• The electrical supply and related interfaces
• An introduction to Lummus’ SRT-e™ electric cracking heater

The design and debottleneck of plants often require multiple iterations of engineering and capital expenditure (CAPEX) analysis. No matter how well an asset is designed, once operational, new variables come into play allowing for further optimization opportunities to arise.  The handoffs between design, construction and operations bring new wrinkles to the entire system. What may seem like an inconsequential decision in one area may have a significant impact in another. 

Join AspenTech experts as they discuss how to bridge the gap between design and operations to deliver the best possible ROI and performance from your plant decisions using advanced digital tools. Learn how you can use these solutions to:

• Identify the potential risk/rewards associated with CAPEX (including sizing storage) and operational decisions
• Identify major process and equipment redundancies and by-passes to improve efficiency
• Track system performance across the asset lifecycle (e.g., production, revenue, maintenance costs)
• Optimize asset maintenance strategy and stock level of spares
