Refinery/Petrochemical Integration Workshop
MONDAY 12 OCTOBER 2009
REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL INTEGRATION STRATEGIES – COST OPTIMISATION AND NEW PRODUCT LINES
This interactive workshop will enable you to learn from what the refinery and petrochemical integration pioneers have achieved, how to feasibly implement your project and assess how this model can work for you. We will explore the lucrative benefits of new revenue sources and cost optimisation.
