IRPC Call for Abstracts is now open!


Hydrocarbon Processing’s International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC) has issued a call for abstracts.

There is a submission deadline, of course. As Douglas Adams once said, “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”

Submission details appear in the email reproduced below. The email includes a list of suggested topics, including Green Petrochemicals.

TIP: Download IEA’s 2018 report titled “The Future of Petrochemicals” (https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/bee4ef3a-8876-4566-98cf-7a130c013805/The_Future_of_Petrochemicals.pdf )

Think Audio Book ... HP’s The Main Column Podcast


For those times when you are stuck in traffic and can't read the magazine, consider visiting or subscribing to Hydrocarbon Processing's new podcast, HP The Main Column Podcast (https://blubrry.com/themaincolumn/).

FOR EXAMPLE ...
Here is a recent podcast, with a listening time of approximately 8.5 minutes … just enough time to get you to the next exit.

///////
Petrochemical data management using cloud-based digital solutions
To boost operational efficiency and support regulatory compliance, many petrochemical companies use informatic tools, such as laboratory information management systems (LIMS), to organize data. These systems enable companies to make data-driven decisions quickly and efficiently. This podcast focuses on how a petrochemical company implemented a cloud-based LIMS system to support workflows across the entire organization.

The Best Exotic Refining India Conference: Call for Papers

PTQ has issued a call for papers for Refining India 2019.
Here is the description of the event as it appeared in my inbox …

///////
The International Conference for India’s Leaders in Oil Refining and Petrochemicals, New Delhi, 23-24 September 2019
What part will you and your company play in the development of the world’s most dynamic oil processing industry?
Now in its seventh year, Refining India has come to be known in the Indian hydrocarbons industry as ‘the September conference’. It provides the perfect opportunity to bring leading edge developments to the attention of senior executives from all of India’s major refining companies.
Refining India 2019 in particular welcomes ideas for presentation on these topics:
Last steps to BS–VI and IMO 2020
Digital Developments: Virtual steps to leaner, more informed, operations
Greater Energy Efficiency, higher margins, smaller carbon footprint
Products to Market: advances in blending, storage and distribution
The growing role of Renewable Fuels
Crude Sourcing opportunities and future options
In the first instance, email your 200-word abstract to presentations@refiningindia.com by 15 March 2019,
except Indian headquartered Operators, EPCs and research institutes who should email their submissions to refiningindia@idsindia.org
Technology suppliers please note that a Refining India presentation requires much more than your own claims for your products or services. Your presentation should include proof of concept through commercial application and an explanation of the takeaways offered to your audience.
Sponsorship packages including the opportunity to present to Refining India’s audience are available. For more details and to book your sponsorship package, contact sales@petroleumtechnology.com

Quest, the Series: How to Plan Your Online Research – Simple Answer (Part 2)

This post addresses the first category of online research … the simple search for a simple answer.

We all use Google® for simple searches. We use it every day, sometimes all day. It seems as natural as breathing.

Even so, there may be ways you can improve your results. Taking a little more time on the front end often results in saving time on the browsing end.

Example: You want to find conferences focusing on downstream. That is a simple search …

Google® the search string downstream conference


TIP #1: Word order can be important.

For example …
Googling petrochem conferences yields almost 11 million results.
Googling conferences petrochem, on the other hand, yields just 170,000 results. This means less browsing time for relevant results.

TIP #2: Consider adding a date to your search string.

For example …
Googling conferences petrochem 2019 yields about 50,000 results. When you are focused on upcoming events that you might want to attend, this search string saves you even more time.

In a nutshell, what you are trying to do is to get the simple answer you need with as little browsing time as possible. By spending a few seconds on your search strategy, you decrease the amount of time required to slog through the results.
