“According to
Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a
head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate
parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.”
― Plato, The Symposium
The next Saudi Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining &
Petrochemicals (www.kfupm.edu.sa/catsymp)

Call for Papers: Refining India
“The whole of
science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.” -- Albert Einstein (German
born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of
relativity. Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879-1955)
Thanks to an email rec’d from PTQ, I learned of a call for papers for the 3rd Refining India Conference, 19 - 20 September 2016, Lalit Hotel, New Delhi.
Here is the text of the email …
///////
CALL FOR PAPERS
Growth in India’s demand for oil products will outstrip the rest of the world during the next 25 years, according to a recent focus report from the International Energy Agency. In response, India’s government concedes that even faster growth in refining capacity is essential to keep pace with domestic demand. This will mean more and bigger refineries, integrated with petrochemicals production and geared to the highest international standards of clean fuels to combat urban pollution.
India demands the best refining technology available. And Refining India is the premier opportunity to present and network among an audience of senior executives from across India’s refining sector. In the first instance, you are invited to email your abstract presentation to: presentations@refiningindia.com
Preferred topics for Refining India 2016 include: • Clean fuels production
• Integrated production of petrochemicals and fuels
• Processing heavy and sour crudes
• Hydrogen management
• Energy efficiency
• Sulphur plant operations
To find out more about the event visit www.refiningindia.com. We look forward to welcoming you to New Delhi in September.

Annual Sulfur Review
“Poor, dear,
silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise!” Wallace Stevens (American Poet, 1879-1955)
Two items of interest to report today … Hydrocarbon Engineering’s (http://www.energyglobal.com/downstream/) annual Sulfur Review, and the latest edition of the PTQ – Petroleum Technology Quarterly magazine (www.eptq.com).
Both Hydrocarbon Engineering and PTQ focus on recent practical applications of technology, as opposed to the advanced research that precedes such applications. Still, it is useful to be mindful of the entire spectrum of technological progress … from the inception of a concept to basic research to benchmark testing to pilot scale research to the ultimate goal of full scale implementation.
Below is a comment from the Hydrocarbon Engineering Web on its latest Sulfur Review, as well as a list of PTQ’s latest Table of Contents.
///////
“The April issue kicks off with a look at the global petrochemical industry, beginning with Euro Petroleum Consultants’ analysis of the European and Russian markets and followed by AspenTech’s discussion of the ethylene sector. April’s big feature is, of course, the annual Sulfur Review, which provides a comprehensive overview of the key technologies available to plant and refinery operations today. This year’s review is introduced by The Sulphur Institute, with an update on the global sulfur market. This issue also boasts features on High Performance Materials, Heat Transfer, Flow Metering, Automation and Desulfurisation, finishing off with 15 facts on natural gas.”
