MATERIALS WORKSHOP FOR THE REFINING AND
PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIES
INTENDED FOR
The presentation is of interest and value to
those involved in material selection, material
engineering, production, inspection, maintenance
and design. Program objectives There are
several objectives to the workshop. For the
experienced designer, engineer and metallurgist,
it provides a review of established principles of
design, application and fabrication and gives an
update on recent materials developments as they
relate to the refining and petrochemical
processing industries. For the less
experienced personnel it is an excellent
introduction to the problems that can be
encountered in a refining or petrochemical
environment and how these problems can be
overcome. The ultimate goal is to improve the
utilization of materials through proper design,
material selection, and fabrication.
