Revamps, Operability, and Reliability


Description:
Revamps remain an attractive option for maximum refinery profitability, whether increasing capacity, improving reliability, meeting regulatory requirements, or other factors. This session invites papers on all aspects of revamps, improved operability, and increased reliability. Topics could include case studies, general strategies, or conceptual analysis at either the plant or organization level. Industry, academic, and government agency submissions are all encouraged.
