Fluidcoking & Flexicoking Program at RefComm Galveston

These groundbreaking processes, merging elements of coking and FCC, represent the pinnacle of bottom-of-the-barrel conversion technologies. Though there are fewer than 20 units globally, their unmatched continuous processing capabilities and minimal solid product output deliver exceptional yields and conversions.

Operators of these sophisticated units navigate unique challenges, from managing erosion and hot spots in reactors, heaters/burners and gasifiers to tackling extreme fouling. RefComm Galveston 2026 is your exclusive opportunity to join the global fluidcoking and flexicoking community in sharing best practices, pioneering equipment strategies, and much more.

Be a part of RefComm Galveston, where you'll network with industry experts, gain invaluable insights, and help drive the future of these cutting-edge technologies.

This program is built upon the legacy user's group facilitated by ExxonMobil and then by Axens. RefComm is proud to act as host and will strive to recreate the same high quality event. 

Honoring RefComm's long commitment to featuring highly technical content from global refinery personnel, the Fluid-Coking and Flexi-Coking program will focus on knowledge shared by the end users. Featuring presentations and discussions,  attendees are expected to contribute to the conversation by sharing:

• Unit Overviews and Descriptions
• Unit Constraints
• Turnaround Experiences and Schedules
• Troubleshooting Experiences
• Best Practices
• Safety /Reliability Problems and Solutions

The Call for Presentations continues to be open. Please contact Thomas Willatt with your ideas: thomas.willatt@crugroup.com
