US Petrochemical Industry Future - Upstream - Natural Gas - Logic Verus Fait...Bruce LaCour
Natural gas comes from various sources, including crude oil wells, gas wells, and coal seams. It requires processing to remove impurities before being transported via pipelines. The US natural gas system has expanded greatly since the 1940s to meet increasing demand. However, by the 1970s gas shortages occurred as production peaked and regulations inhibited supply. This led to crises in the mid-1970s that exposed the nation's reliance on affordable, plentiful natural gas. Deregulation in the 1980s-90s aimed to stabilize supply but booms and busts have continued.

fractional distillation and refining of petroleumAfzal Zubair
Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and other compounds that varies in composition depending on its source. It is a thick, brown liquid found below the earth's surface. Refining petroleum involves separating it into fractions of different boiling points and removing impurities through fractional distillation. In fractional distillation, the mixture is heated and different compounds condense out of the vapor at different levels in the distillation tower based on their boiling points. Over 500 compounds can be obtained through petroleum distillation.
basic building block processes in petrochemical technologyAfzal Zubair
Petrochemical processes involve basic building block processes for manufacturing intermediates and products. Key petrochemical processes include thermal cracking, catalytic cracking, and steam reforming which produce olefins, synthesis gas, and aromatic compounds from petroleum feedstocks like naphtha and gas oil. Thermal cracking uses steam to crack ethane, propane and heavier hydrocarbons to produce ethylene, propylene and other products. Catalytic reforming uses naphtha to produce BTX aromatic compounds. Steam reforming produces a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen from hydrocarbon feeds. Polymerization then links monomer molecules into long chains or networks to form plastics, fibers and other polymer products.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
