Hydro-Treating, Catalytic Reforming & Hydro-Cracking

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this workshop is to provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of hydro-treating units, the purpose, catalyst used, reactions & operating variables. Further, the workshop covers the catalytic reformer unit, the type of catalyst, its function, deactivation, chemical reactions and operating variables. The start-up, shutdown procedures, and emergency cases will also be covered.

The last part of the workshop handles the hydro-cracking unit of VHGO, the catalyst used, the chemical reactions, the operating variables, the start-up, shutdown procedures, emergency cases and run-away temperatures.

Upon completion of the workshop, the participants will gain enough skill to anticipate, avoid, and handle problems that may occur in their plants.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Process engineers, production engineers, section heads, senior operators, shift controls, shift supervisors, Technicians, plant operators and those who are connected with process reactors
