Introduction

Refinery processes consist of many complex apparatuses involving both moving and static parts as well as interconnecting pipes, control mechanisms and electronics, mechanical and thermal stages, heat exchangers, waste and side product processing units, power ducts and many others. Bringing such a complicated unit online and ensuring its continued productivity requires substantial skill at anticipating, detecting and solving acute problems. Failure to identify and resolve these problems quickly can lead to lost production, off-spec product, equipment loss, and even catastrophic accidents. Therefore, the ability to troubleshoot refinery operations is one of the most valuable skills operations personnel can possess.

Objective

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:

Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on advanced refinery operations
Discuss petroleum refinery process including crude processing, desalting, atmospheric distillation and vacuum distillation
Explain heavy oils processing and bottom of the barrel upgrading covering the cocking and thermal processes, delayed coking, fluid coking, flexi coking and vis breaking
Carry out process of production that covers the fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, cat cracking, isomerization, alkylation, hydrotreating and catalytic reforming
Review process operations key operational conditions and factors as well as discuss blending for product specifications, hydrogen production, refinery gas plants and acid gas treating
Identify process troubleshooting including troubleshooting concepts and techniques, troubleshooting tools, typical problems, flooding and its detection
Determine refinery economics comprising of residue reduction, asphalt and residual fuel, refinery complexity and netback
