Integrated Solutions for Resid Upgrading

Thermal & GasificationHydroprocessing

RFCC – Technologies & CatalystsHydrogen & Sulphur Management

In today’s global and highly competitive refined product

market, producers must be able to maximise margins on

every barrel of crude processed. Simple refinery

configurations are no longer competitive and residue

upgrading is an essential design feature in any world class

refinery complex. This is true whatever the crude type

processed.

The BBTc Middle east & Africa 2015 conference and exhibition is a unique

event, focused on options for processing the ‘bottom of the barrel’. It highlights

the technologies, project trends, catalysts and equipment innovations in residue

upgrading. Technology is constantly evolving and it is vital that producers and

suppliers stay up-to-date in this rapidly developing sector of the refining

industry.

euro Petroleum consultants has been successfully organising BBTc

conferences for the last 15 years. We have the knowledge, experience and

expertise to stage an event of the very highest quality. Residue processing is

becoming essential to Middle eastern and African refiners and this is the premier

event for staying up-to-date with developments.
