Alfred E. (Al) Keller retired from Conoco/ConocoPhillips/Phillips 66 as director of Treating and Sulfur Processing in 2017. Over a 35-year career, he was involved in implementing the first high-level oxygen enriched SRUs. He led the development of the first commercial ion exchange-based amine HSS removal (HSSX™) and regenerable particle (SSX™) and oil removal systems (HCX™) for amine solutions. He also led the development of SPOC™ technology for replacing SRU burners/thermal reactors with a catalytic reaction system. Al led the development of pre-sulfur pit sulfur degassing technology (ICOn™). He earned 32 US patents for these processes as well as processes for syngas production and HF acid recovery. He developed the training modules for ConocoPhillips/Phillips 66 for amine, sour water, SRU, TGU, and caustic treating, and developed/delivered an amine and sour water training course for Brimstone STS. Al currently provides consulting services via Becht in treating and sulfur processing for refineries.
