April 28, 2015 - Houston, TX:
Coking.com will be hosting its annual RefComm Conference May 4 - 8 in Galveston. Dorf Ketal will be bringing some timely relevance in line with this year's RefComm theme with it's innovative new chemistry, TANSCIENT™, which has been engineered to maximize return for reliable refining of high TAN opportunity crudes. 

This year RefComm adds the unconventional hydrocarbon processing theme with shale processing and operations. North American unconventional oil and gas production has created massive volumes of feedstocks with chemistries not particularly known to refiners. The growth in production from light and tight oil plays has been so fast that infrastructure is still playing catch up. Join us in the Shale Hall or the Coking.com Hall and CatCracking.com Hall for unit specific discussions, as well as the breakout discussions and workgroups that make RefComm unique. The exhibition opens with a welcoming reception Tuesday evening. Exhibitors will be closely integrated with the Conference program with demonstrations and workshops during networking breaks.

The recent drop in crude prices has begun affecting refined product demand and margins. At RefComm, you’ll see how refiners are leveraging current assets to extend run lengths, reduce costs, and operate safely and profitably.  

In addition to presenting at the conference, Dorf Ketal will also be exhibiting at Booth #102 at Moody Gardens Hotel and Convention Center

TANSCIENT™'s superior phosphorous efficiency means refiners may gain greater control of corrosion protection while significantly reducing risk in addressing variations in naphthenic acid composition.  TANSCIENT™ offers more effective passivation and ongoing protection with up to 80% less phosphorus than competitor HTCI products.  This is breakthrough chemistry and a true game changer for the industry.


Key benefits include:

  • Superior thermal stability and oil solubility
  • Maximum surface reactivity, more effective protection
  • Low acidity, does not require cooled slipstream for injection
  • Familiar, easy-to-implement phosphorus-based passivation
  • Reduces risk of phosphorus fouling and catalyst impairment
