BOTTOM OF THE BARREL TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE 5-6 October, Royal Garden Hotel, London

“Hellenic Petroleum was delighted to co-host BBTC 2009. Residue upgrading is an extremely important topic and the event provided an excellent opportunity for refinery personnel to discuss the latest technological progress and issues with industry experts.“ John Costopoulos, CEO, HELLENIC PETROLEUM International BBTC has gained a reputation as the most important international resid upgrading event in the industry. This year’s event in the UK’s capital will attract delegates from all over the world, in particular Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South America. Upgrading the bottom of the barrel is expected to continue to provide a key source of advantage during the upturn. BBTC 2010 will bring you up to date with the latest market and technology developments, including real examples of modernising existing facilities and implementing new equipment and/or new catalyst strategies to maximise yields in challenging conditions.
