The global trend toward increasing diesel demand relative to gasoline is calling for the petroleum refining industry to focus on technology advances to maximize diesel production. This session covers a wide range of topics related to the technologies, processes and R&D advances that allow refiners to maximize diesel production such as: ULSD technologies, hydroprocessing catalysts,advances in hydrocracking, LCO utilization for diesel blending,LCO conversion, refinery optimization for maximizing diesel production, revamping existing assets, modeling and simulation , advanced characterization of diesel and distillates.
