The Refining Community Consultants operating as an independent voice in the oil and gas industry focuses on safety, profitability, and driving the overall well-being of plants to new levels. Our extensive industry experience provides our team with a deep understanding of all major units within refining, and gives us the advantage of approaching a refinery with fresh, knowledgeable, and independent perspectives. We excel at this objective through our consulting, on-site and off-site training, extensive field services, and hosting RefComm®, one of the largest ongoing conferences in the world for delayed coking, fluid catalytic cracking, and sulfur recovery.
