This course will guide the participants to develop key concepts and techniques to operate, select and optimize refinery catalytic processes. These key concepts can be utilized to make design and operating decisions. Training and development is an investment in future success gives yourself and your employees the keys to success.

This course covers a general overview of the Catalytic Processes in a Refinery and how each integrates with the high value products, with a special emphasis on Fluidized Catalytic Crackers, Catalytic Reformers and Hydro-processing. A history of each Catalytic Process
will be reviewed including; process description, process variables, reaction chemistry, catalyst development and evaluation.

Objective

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will have:

An overview of the Catalytic Processes in a Refinery, with a special emphasis on Fluidized Catalytic Crackers, Hydro treaters, Hydrocracking and Catalytic Reformers.
Catalyst Evaluation Techniques
An understanding of Reactor and Catalyst interaction
The operation, control and troubleshooting of a reactor and associated equipment
An overview of reactors, practical solutions as well as theory
An understanding of essential reaction concepts
Valuable practical insights for trouble-free design and field proven techniques for commissioning, start up and shutdown of reactor operations
Understand how to tailor your approach to specific design, analysis and troubleshooting problems.
What can be done in-house and what can be done with specialist software.
