MAXOFIN™, "Technology of the Future” Webinar

12 May 2021

Virtual

About the Topic

Increasing demand for light olefins, declining demand for transportation fuels and market uncertainties (like COVID-19) have imposed new challenges on the future of refining industry. 

FCC process technology, developed for maximizing gasoline, will play a key role in helping refiners address the future.  One of the original co-developers of FCC Technology, KBR is a pioneer in FCC process and technology development.  Over the last seven decades, KBR’s FCC Technology has continually evolved to address the challenges faced by the Refiner.  In addition to hardware development, KBR has adapted FCC process technology to maximize olefins through processes such as MAXOFIN, K-COT™ and K-PRO™.

During this webinar, KBR will present:

  • Product trends that are shaping the future of refining industry
  • How MAXOFIN Technology can help refiners address these market dynamics
  • Refinery-Petrochemical Integration with MAXOFIN process
  • Case studies involving revamping existing FCC to MAXOFIN
