    The refining industry is very much focused on looking to the future at the moment – considering the latest developments both within the refinery itself, but also in reference to supply and demand. Demand around the world continues to grow, with Europe having to compete more and more with the Middle East and Russia. This marcus evans event will bring delegates up to speed on all the developments on supply and refined product demand. Delegates will have the opportunity to explore practical cost saving measures and winning strategies to optimise performance. Existing refineries go through expansions and updates, new refineries are being planned and increasingly more complex scheduled maintenance shut-ins are required. Reliability of the plant is essential so that operators can plan maintenance activities needed to achieve operational excellence, and ensure profitability so that plants can produce when required to demand. This conference will also offer delegates the opportunity to explore energy management systems in an effective way and discuss the most recent regulations and the impact that increasing demand of cleaner products is having on the cost variable.
