Join Lee Tedstone and Tedd Weitzman to hear how the combination of contracting strategy, integrated project delivery and advanced work packaging foster good relationships between Owner and EPC and incentivize all stakeholders on a project. Multiple trends have coalesced to make it more important than ever for companies that initiate capital projects to set up effective governance of those projects. Join this webinar to find out more about how projects can achieve better outcomes by addressing:

• Incentivize all project stakeholders toward a mutually beneficial outcome
• A clear line of sight into project performance – addressing weakness in contract change management
• Internal accountability for achievement of project goals
• Effective contracting strategies
• Rigorous communication and reporting

Gas systems can easily become an afterthought, especially if they are not transporting anything overtly hazardous. Yet even the most mundane gas leaks can add up to serious costs when they drive down the efficiency of equipment or lead to outright downtime. Specialty gas leaks are an even bigger problem—at best they are expensive, and at worst they are downright dangerous. So, what do you really need to know and do to keep your gas systems operating effectively?

Join us for this webinar to find out. We will cover:

• Essential components of a gas distribution system
• How to reliably maintain pressure in bottle-fed, compressed gas systems
• Where to spend time and resources now to save money later
• When to consider standard or configurable pre-built system designs
• How to improve operator and environmental safety by reducing leaks and making smart design choices

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is a mature technology that reliably produces high quality gasoline and petrochemicals that keep automobiles and economies running.  However, FCC flue gas is becoming a challenge for refiners who are now facing evolving emission regulations and a push to reduce CO₂ emissions.

Join our webinar to learn about how Honeywell UOP can help bring your FCC into the future.

UOP's nViro™ FCC flue gas treatment for fluid catalytic cracking complexes helps refiners meet emission specifications from their FCC unit by reducing contaminants, including SO_X, NO_X, and particulates with heat recovery to improve efficiency and reduce scope 2 CO₂ emissions and water utility. The patented UOP's nViro™ FCC solution can be designed to achieve emission specifications for a new FCC or an existing unit, or can be designed as pretreatment for a carbon capture system, to reduce CO₂ footprint even further.

As the hydrogen economy continues to gain momentum, organizations are looking for faster, more efficient ways to design and deploy hydrogen projects. Growing pressure to meet sustainability targets is only increasing the demand to make these initiatives both viable and profitable. Digital technology is proving to deliver on the promise of hydrogen, helping companies significantly reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency.

Join our experts as they discuss how new innovations in engineering enable you to:

• Expedite hydrogen production and capacity scenarios with equipment-based modeling
• Identify bottlenecks and alternatives to maximize hydrogen reliability and availability
• Reduce schedules by validating layouts and construction sequences in early design

There will be a Q&A session following the event. We encourage you to join the conversation by submitting questions when registering.

While the growth of the fuels market from oil refining is slowing, tightening  fuel specifications, shifting product demands, and regional capacity rationalizations are pressuring refiners to do more with less. For hydroprocessing units, which are crucial to achieve both conversion to the fuels and petrochemical feedstock products and to ensure that specifications like diesel sulfur are met, this means new units need to be more profitable, and existing units are being pushed to their limits, processing higher throughputs and worse qualities of feed than the design basis.

Introducing UOP nViro™ Hydro, a waste monetization solution for hydroprocessing complexes  that converts  H₂S and NH₃ in acid gas and sour water streams to fertilizer to improve the economics of the hydroprocessing complex. nViro™ Hydro can be included with a new UOP Unionfining™ and/or Unicracking complex or can be evaluated via a revamp study of existing hydrotreating and/or hydrocracking complexes.

Join us to learn more about some of the potential benefits of nViro™ Hydro solutions and the synergies that are possible when nViro™ Hydro is combined with other hydroprocessing innovations from UOP. During the webinar, we will discuss the following:

• Benefits of including nViro™ Hydro in a new Unicracking™ or Unionfining™ complex
• nViro™ Hydro as a pathway to debottleneck existing hydroprocessing complexes, process higher throughput and/or more contaminated/heavier feedstocks
• Leveraging UOP revamps & innovations in high activity catalyst, equipment, and process to get the most value out of existing hydroprocessing units

Company leaders and boards of directors are digging deeper into the sustainability path and making commitments for their companies to achieve “Net Zero by 20xx.” But what does this mean for the plant management team who must execute on these plans?

At the operational level, multitasked staffs are dealing with aging assets and challenging production targets while trying to hit budgets and meet compliance goals. With seemingly endless options for decarbonization initiatives, plant leadership must accurately identify key objectives and technologies to plot the best course for achieving success in this space.

This webcast will cover:

• Planning successfully for a net zero future at the plant level
• Evaluating the best options for each plant and asset
• Employing digital solutions for quick wins and foundational growth and change

Annual capacity additions of 6 MM MTA ethylene and 4 MM MTA propylene are needed to meet the continued demand growth of light olefins. Concurrently, demand for transportation fuels is declining in some regions and expected to decline in many others due to the energy transition. This energy transition is creating the need for bankable investments to convert crude into light olefins. The UOP Integrated Olefin Suite contains the technologies and pathways to provide bankable investments to meet the growing needs for ethylene and propylene with lower cost of production.

Join us to learn more about how Honeywell UOP’s newly launched Integrated Olefin Suite of technologies (IOS) enable novel configurations that convert crude to olefins.  Potential benefits include:

• Crude to olefin carbon efficiencies as high as 80% to drive strong, robust operating margins
• Configurations that give 100% net crude to light olefins
• Innovative options to produce niche, higher value by-products such as butadiene and butenes when desired
• Reduced utilities per metric ton of olefin product and options for zero export of fuel by-products
• Potential to significantly increase return on investment over conventional configurations

In today’s economy and environment, successful businesses are counting not only every dollar spent, but every molecule emitted. Faced with tightening emission regulations and corporate and/or government commitments to reduce their CO2 footprints, refiners are being faced with mandatory investments not only to comply with the requirements for new units, but to maintain baseline operation in existing plants as well.
