107 Advanced Technologies for Reduction of Atmospheric Emissions in the Petrochemical and Refining I

Tuesday, April 12, 2016: 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
337A (Hilton Americas - Houston)

Description:
Emissions from chemical petrochemical industry and refinery are closely related to their energy and material use efficiency, plant operating safety, as well as regional air quality. Significant benefits for industrial, societal, and environmental sustainability could be achieved via massive emission reductions. This session encourages the discussion on breakthroughs that have advanced, or will advance technologies for reduction of atmospheric emissions in the petrochemical and refining. Contributions describing innovations that help the chemical and refining industries comply with air emission regulations as well as papers associated with initiatives to reduce all possible emission sources are also encouraged.
