This year's ARTC looks optimistically at the signs of recovery from the ease of excess supply and rebound in demand relative to the rest of the world. With a focus on taking a position ahead of the competition to take advantage of the latest technologies and market trends. The ARTC has brought together leading experts in the industry to share best practices and exchange ideas on how technological breakthroughs can improve your operating margins.
Key issues to be addressed include: - In a mature and cost competitive industry can you afford to take new technology risks?
- How has product demand changed as dictated by the end-users and clean fuels initiatives?
- Have you considered new catalysts and feedstocks?
