An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Hydrotreating and Hydrocracking Process Technology
Process Design and Engineering Principles of Petroleum Products Hydro-Conversion
Course Overview
This comprehensive Hydrotreating & Hydrocracking Process Technology training course overlays the process fundamentals and sound knowledge of Hydrotreating and Hydrocracking processes where Hydrogen is a key material in the upgrading and treatment of refinery products and fractions. A review of the state-of-the-art in process design, energy and mass integration will be presented as potential key improvements.
In-depth, practical review of Hydrotreating / cracking technologies is provided across the training course topics. The contents focus on the Hydro-conversion of heavy products, distillates, diesel, and naphtha into other hydrogenated/lower molecular weight products, besides saturated products with enhanced Cetane number, free of sulfur, nitrogen and metals. This training course also discusses some process design / chemistry and engineering principles for such processes and presents scope for improvements.
This Hydrotreating and Hydrocracking Process Technology training course is valuable to engineers / scientists, designers and researchers involved in the industry of Hydro-conversion in refiners. Yet it is most beneficial to those professionals with experiences in other fields and willing to acquire knowledge in Hydro-conversion processes.
This Saudi GLOMACS Hydrotreating & Hydrocracking Process Technology training course will feature:
- Lectures, exercises and team work in some areas of process design and improvement
- Real studies that exhibit improvement solution for energy / environment
- Knowledge transfer of instructor’s extensive engaged industrial consultations
- Practice of Excel-based design tools for mass / energy integration in refining plants
- Open discussion on actual problems / data for design and improvements
