Refcomm 2022

days to go

The leading conference for training, safe unit operation, and production optimization within the delayed coking, fluid catalytic cracking, solvent deasphalting, and sulfur production and processing units

Join refiners from around the globe at the world’s leading technical conference for the refining industry. This year we are excited to bring RefComm back to a LIVE and in-person event at the Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston, Texas. We are also providing a virtual platform for this event for those not able to travel to the venue. In 2021, as a virtual event, RefComm offered boots-on-the-ground insight, real-world refinery solutions, and numerous business opportunities to refiners and vendors from around the world. We produced a five-day, multi-streamed agenda consisting of two days of training in the delayed coking and fluid catalytic cracking units, three days of technical presentations and a vendor spotlight program, a virtual exhibition hall for meeting with technical experts and sourcing solutions, and integrated networking including live video, audio and text chat, interactive discussion groups, and meetings scheduling.

Testimonials

Thanks again for coordinating and moderating our Vendor Spotlight presentation. I thought it went very well. We are also having a very good show! This has been (by far) the best virtual conference experience we have been involved in. You and your team have done a fantastic job!

Alan Carlock, Corporate Marketing Director, Stress Engineering Services

Dear RefComm Team, Thanks for your great work, I really enjoyed the training and the content of the first ever virtual Refcomm. It is a great experience and very timely learning and connection for me to the community. The video production is great and the timing of each session is perfect. Definitely a lot of work behind the scenes to make this work.

Huidong Gao, Ph.D., Production Team Support Engineer, Coker Unit, Shell Deer Park

I want to thank your team for an incredibly successful virtual RefComm. Nothing beats a face-to-face interactive conference; however this is a close second. This conference was well organized and the format allowed us to interact / network with our customers. The programs were educational. I appreciate the countless hours of preparation you have dedicated to this successful conference.

Steve Wilkie, Director of Strategic Relations, CIRCOR | DeltaValve

I really enjoyed the conference and really learned a lot about the mechanical engineering of the DCU. The virtual conference was basically run without flaws and I loved the functionality on the site. Well done!

Dr. John Clark, - , Clark Coking Consulting

I thought this was a great event. I have always enjoyed discussing these issues and discussing them with colleagues. Having the Vendor program be recorded so I could go back and see ones that conflicted with other presentations was fantastic. It was good to see people, if briefly, that I had not seen for some time...You all are doing a great job in providing a valuable service to the Delayed Coking industry. Thanks!

Mike Kimbrell, Delayed Coking Advisor and Heavy Oil Consultant, -

“Your conference is excellent. I've been to 20 other conferences. RefComm is the best. At some conferences I speak to CEOs. At your conference, I speak to exactly the right person - the engineers and the project people. They understand how important our equipment is for their production.”

Nicola Dessalvi, , IMI Critical | Remosa

"I've spent my life going to these conferences and RefComm is by far the best...interactive and intensive learning and networking activities...nearly an even split between both refinery operating personnel as well as service companies - suppliers. This breakdown naturally results in unparalleled content. Refinery operators address their specific problems and the solutions they've found to those problems."

Robert Brelsford, Downstream Technology Editor, Oil & Gas Journal

“Among the points that stand out in my humble judgment, one is to share even for a brief moment with people with such high knowledge in the world associated with oil processes. And they share it gladly in that conference. It's great! Being able to know the experiences lived in other business units, like chemical cleaning, development of new repair techniques for drums, new equipment level measuring valves. etc. makes it worthwhile to attend. We may not agree on 100% of the points shown but that diversity of thought is part of the greatness of the human being. That is why I recommend those people who have not had the opportunity to attend refcomm to do so for the next event.”
