DETAILS OF THE CONFERENCE

 

SCOPE AND BACKGROUND

 

The 7th International Conference and Exhibition on CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY (CHEMINDIX 2007), provides a forum for open high-level discussions on the technology trends, opportunities and challenges in oil and petrochemical industries, emerging new approaches for managing oil fields, new process technologies to produce petrochemicals from oil, recent advances in catalyst, process technology for petrochemical and refining processes, new analytical methods and techniques to improve oil & petrochemical operations, evolving technologies and applications in the Gulf GCC region, sustaining and promoting a prosperous economy and healthier environment, impact of chemistry on industry and society, novel breakthroughs to further develop the petroleum and chemical industry. Scientists, engineers, officials, and others interested or involved in the above mentioned areas are invited to attend and participate in this biannual event. In doing so, the founders and organizers of CHEMINDIX 2007 hope to establish a central hub for the rapid exchange of ideas and results emanating from the many diverse areas of petrochemical industries.

 

 

CONFERENCE SPECIAL SESSION

 

OIL-BASED OPPORTUNITIES IN THE GROWING CHEMICAL INDUSTRY (PRESENTATIONS AND PANEL DISSCUSSION)

 

Refinery and chemical plant integration provides added incentives to develop and adopt new oil-based-feedstock approaches, associated with olefin, naphtha, paraffin, carbon and sulfur supply. Oil-based-feedstock currently supplies around 75% of raw materials to the growing chemicals industry. Development of new petroleum based technology, process, and material solutions offer attractive propositions that can take advantage of the highly functional chemical properties of crude oil, delivering superior performance that encourages natural material substitution. Intermediate material families such as high density polymers, synthetic polymers, aromatic chemicals, poly-aromatic compounds, oleo-resins, lubricants, soaps and detergents; provide the building blocks on which the growing chemicals industry might prosper.

 

This special session seeks to address the following topic areas:

 

-        New Catalyst developments

-        Energy Optimization and Conservation

-        Improved Byproduct Utilization and Exploitation

-        New Processing Schemes

-        New Feedstocks

-        Refinery Petrochemical Integration

-        Novel Processes for Light Olefin & Propylene Productions

-        Key Market issues for Olefins, Polyolefins, Aromatics and Derivatives as well as other important Petrochemicals

-           New Developments Technology for Olefins and Polyolefins production

-           New Developments Technology in Aromatics and Derivatives
