Middle East Bottom of the Barrel and Catalyst Technology Conference 9–10 December 2020
Organiser
In today's downstream industry increasing conversion to curb low-value fuel oil production remains a key objective for many existing and grass-root refining facilities. There is a clear drive and commitment on improving product specifications, increasing conversion, reducing emissions and increasing margins - Upgrading the Bottom of Barrel remains of the utmost importance and central to achieving targets and results.
Along with that, catalytic processes are very much at the heart of all refineries and petrochemical complexes - with the continued drive for increased integration, the number of units using modern catalysts has increased significantly.
This year, BBTC MENA & ME-CAT 2020 will be held online and will include residue upgrading and catalyst technologies related topics and will give catalyst suppliers, licensors, contractors, service providers and operating companies the unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the sector.

Great event, quality subjects and attendees
Very well organized, I particularly liked the arrangements made to ensure all attendees participated in the Exhibitors Showcase.
I would like to express my appreciation to EPC for this excellent conference. We had many interesting discussions with many companies which was very useful to us.
