Title: Continuous Catalytic Reformer (CCR)
Start Date: 09 January 2022 End Date: 11 January 2022
Fee: $4,500
Venue: Dubai, UAE

In any of the 5 star hotel. Exact venue will be informed soon.

CRU Training, Catalytic Performing Unit (CRU) Process Training covers the catalytic reforming unit process concepts and operations. CRU is critical to the overall economic balance of the modern petroleum refinery. CRU training course has been developed by TONEX to provide an in-depth, yet practical overview of the current technology available in the processing areas of catalytic reforming and Naphtha pretreating.

CRU training course will cover topics ranging from the basic process chemistry through commercial unit operations. The interactions between feedstock types, yields, product quality, catalysts, cycle length, and operating process variables will be explained. In addition, unit monitoring, troubleshooting, catalyst regeneration, CRU operation, and process evaluation methods will be discussed.

Objective

A thorough understanding of these principles and techniques is necessary to optimize the performance of the catalytic reformer and, ultimately, to maximize the profitability of the unit.

Audience

This program has been designed for refinery staff involved in catalytic reforming unit operation, process engineering, and unit monitoring. The program will also benefit process R & D personnel, as well as sales and technical service engineers from catalyst suppliers.

Personnel from design and construction companies, process control vendors, and refining equipment suppliers will also find the program beneficial. Participants are invited to bring questions and any non-proprietary operating experiences for discussion during the program and the open forum sessions which are scheduled at the end of each day.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.
