Hydro treating & Hydro cracking Process Technology
Hydro treating & Hydro cracking Process Technology
INTRODUCTION
This program has been developed by Refining Process Services to provide an in-depth, yet practical review of both hydro treating and hydrocracking technologies for the refining of petroleum. The speaker will cover topics ranging from the chemistry of hydro treating and hydrocracking to a discussion of the design of commercial processes and reactors.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This program is ideal for personnel involved in refinery process engineering, unit operations, catalyst research and development, catalyst sales, and refinery technical service. Process engineers from design and construction companies as well as those who provide products and services to the petroleum refining industry should also find the program very useful and informative.
