LARTC 2018, 17-18 October, Santiago de Chile
Our attendees last year
told us they wanted to see even more regional representation. We listened, and
acted to build on the success of 2017’s conference which saw a record breaking
253 delegates in Buenos Aires, including 138 attendees from refineries.
Joining some of last year’s attendees fom YPF, Axion Energy, Pampa Energia,
PDVSA, Petrojam, Refineria Isla Curacao, Refineria de Petroleo Riograndense,
Refipampa, we have headline speakers including:
Patricio Farfan, Gerente de Refinerías, ENAP Rodrigo Abramof, Refining
Operational Efficiency General Manager, Petrobras Federico Garcia Verdier, COO,
Axion
and that’s not all: 52% of our speakers this year are from regional refineries
and petrochemical companies including YPF, Petroperu, Braskem, PDVSA, PEMEX and
Ecopetrol.
Representing Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia,
LARTC 2018 is a truly dedicated Latin American refining and petrochemical
event.
Are you looking to meet all Latin American refiners under one roof? Make sure
to register for LARTC! Book before 19th July and save $200 off the standard

Petrobras: Domestic Market Is Best Way To Profit From Oil Refining
--Underpinning domestic market growth is demand for diesel and jet fuel in Brazil, official says
--Petrobras expects strong growth for these products to continue
By Jenny Gross
Dow Jones Newswires
BARCELONA -(Dow Jones)- A refining executive at Brazilian state-run energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR, PETR4.BR), or Petrobras, said costs associated with transporting oil products to hubs in Europe, the U.S. and Asia make it less practical than using production domestically.
Claudio Romeo Schlosser, Petrobras executive manager of refining, said on the sidelines of the Global Refining Summit in Barcelona that investing in Brazil is the best way to cash in on the country's oil reserves. Petrobras plans to build five new refineries in the next few years so it can meet Brazil's demand for oil products without having to import large amounts of gasoline and diesel.

Isomalk-2SM: C5/C6 Isomerization Process with Benzene Reduction
Isomalk-2 is a low-temperature isomerization technology that has been commercially proven in grassroots applications, revamps of semi-regenerative reforming units, and replacement of other isomerization technologies. This flexible process utilizes a robust platinum-containing mixed metal oxide SI-2 catalyst that works effectively at the low temperatures of 120-140°C (250-285°F), while delivering great stability against the influence of catalytic poisons. Isomalk-2 is a competitive alternative to the three most commonly used light gasoline isomerization processes: zeolite, chlorinated aluminum oxide and sulfated zirconium oxide catalysts, applicable for simple replacement of these catalyst types. This technology has been commercialized in all possible modes of configuration. By applying the full recycle configuration, an isomerate with a 92.5 RON value has been achieved in a world-scale reference unit.
