T2007 Self Inflicted Contaminants and Fouling
OverviewThis year's technology subcommittee session will cover contaminants and fouling caused by, or introduced during, olefins plant operations. It will cover areas such as hydrate and emulsion formation, inadvertent contamination of products and utility systems. We will also cover what to do when process additives end up where they are not expected and what problems they can cause.
