Interfaces'11 September 27, 2011

We cordially invite experts and scientists in petroleum refinery and petrochemistry and associated fields to exchange experience and views, to learn about expectations, plans, research achievements and development results. Keynote lecturers will expose broader perspectives to embedding new findings in state-of-the-art techniques and technologies.

The core message of Interfaces’11 reflects our hope to turn science and technology progress of the petroleum and petrochemistry industry by observing guidance and recommendations of sustainable development.

We offer friendly atmosphere in our traditionally familiar series of events to bring participants into closer friendship in official and formal discussions in the year dedicated to the science of chemistry. Regional and global players are offered terrain for networking and building new personal and professional projects.

List of topics recommended for discussions

In selecting oral and poster contributions priority will be given to papers with impact on state of the environment and on improving the state of the industry in the region.

• REFINERY TECHNOLOGIES
  
  New and refurbished processes and procedures for high quality petroleum products under different supply- demand circumstances. Flexibility in operation to include more difficult to upgrade petroleum sources and to integrate renewable and refuse feedstock components.

• FUELS
  
  Advanced catalysis and catalytic processes and procedures for production of flexibly tailoring product ranges to novel performance criteria. Improved mass transfer efficiency and means to achieve such in non-catalytic separation units. Additives and additivation technologies and techniques. Hydrogen household. Chemistry of standard fuels and lubricants on non-conventional feedstock basis. Fuels and lubricants and other direct interactions and interfaces.

• GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTION
  
  Carbon capture and storage in petroleum refinery and petrochemical practice, in power generation and industrial processes, Integrated and sustainable consumption of energy, Industrial ecology, carbon free economies, climate friendly processes. Emissions allowance trading

• ENERGY STRATEGIES AND SCENARIOS, ECOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND USE OF ENERGY
  
  Environmental technologies; Intelligent and rational use of energy, energy autonomy, Scenarios for energy efficient systems; Energy security, Improving energy efficiency by development efforts and rational use of energy, fossil and renewable alike, National and international drives, policies and regulations. Response of the industry to climate change challenges.

• RENEWABLES
  
  Alternative -renewable energy based-fuels, technologies and applications; Advancement in non-conventional automotive systems – fuel cells technologies and applications, hybrid systems. Clean coal and other energy resources within the fence of a petroleum refinery or petrochemical compounds.
