| Refinery
Loss Control Workshop |
| "Boosting You Bottom-Line
by Coming to Grips with Proven Loss Reduction Measures" |
| November 23-24, 1999,
Hilton Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia |
| Led by the Leading Experts in Oil Accounting & Oil Loss Control |
| Dr. John Miles & Mr. Tudor Rees |
| Workshop Introduction |
| The financial impact of losses is of enormous
importance in all stages of oil production, processing and retailing. In
addition, the refinery is a major area of potential loss and visible environmental
impact. Losses may be due to measurement discrepancies, in which no real
material is lost but financial penalty results, or may be due to actual
physical loss of material. The refinery must balance its books and determine
which of the losses are real and which are due to measurement problems,
but whatever the source of the losses the root cause is a maintenance issue.
Whether the losses are attributed to poor calibration and maintenance of
the various measurement systems, ow whether they arise from leakage via
tank seals, pump glands of valve systmes, the financial and environmental
penalties of losses can only be reduced by detailed attention to maintenance
programs. Legislation in some countries is requiring refineries to demonstrate
the efficiency of their balance, loss control and maintenance procedures.
Such legal requirements are likely to expand in the future. |
| Scope |
| The seminar will cover all aspects of measurement
loss and real loss and their influence on the refinery balance. It will
discuss the methods of minimizing measurement discrepancies and the equipment
and maintenance procedures required to reduce real losses. The major areas
of real loss and the most cost effective methods of reducing them will
be discussed with examples from published data. |
| Who Should Attend |
| The seminar is designed for refinery personnel
who are involved in measurement, maintenance, loss control and accounting.
This will include engineers, refinery accountants and operations supervisors.
Equipment manufacturers with a special interest in certain aspects will
find the seminar of value in widening their viewpoint of the problems.
A basic understanding of refinery processing is expected. |
| About Your Workshop
Directors |
| Dr. John Miles studied at the University
of Bath gaining a B.Sc. (1st Hons) and a doctorate in mechanical engineering.
He was then engines. After which he moved to GEC where he specialized in
the measurement of fluid flow. He joined SGS in 1980 and is now the Director
Of SGS Redwood Technical Services. During his career he has gained extensive
experience in fluid measurement and loss control in a wide range of industries.
He has presented many papers at international conferences and has been
a member of many fluid measurement committees, acting as the chairman on
some of these. |
| Tudor Rees is a qualified mechanical
engineer who spent over thirty years with BP in refineries all over the
world, specializing in maintenance. For the past ten years he has been
highly involved in the field of oil loss, firstly with BP and for the last
four years with KBC. He has been responsible for oil accounting in a large
refinery and developing oil loss control techniques. This group was Accounting
And Control In Petroleum Refinery Operations" which is now in use in many
refineries around the world. With KBC has visited many refineries all over
the world on loss surveys. |
