Hydrocarbon Processing International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC)

SwRI will be exhibiting at the Hydrocarbon Processing International Refining and Petrochemical Conference (IRPC).

Southwest Research Institute^® (SwRI^® ) is an independent, nonprofit, applied research and development organization headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. We support process development R&D by helping clients scale up conventional and novel chemical processes with the design, build-up, and operation of pilot plants. SwRI conducts laboratory validation and proof-of-concept experiments. Our engineers can modify and operate standard refinery systems to produce test quantities of materials. We also provide independent third-party testing and analysis for the oil and gas industry. Located on more than 1,500 acres, SwRI employs 3,200 staff and has an annual research volume of nearly $966 million. Our capabilities include

• working with a variety of pilot plants, including circulating fluidized beds, fixed bed reactors, and novel thermochemical reactor systems;
• conducting laboratory validation or proof-of-concept experiments;
• modifying and operating standard refinery pilot plants to produce test quantities of materials (liters to drums);
• conducting process development R&D;
• helping our clients troubleshoot, optimize, and scale up chemical and petroleum processes;
• provide services such as pyrolysis, gasification, chemical looping, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and distillation;
• independent third-party testing and analysis for the oil and gas industries.
