Petrochemical Processes and Catalysis A Eurotek training course

Petrochemical Processes and Catalysis A Eurotek training course

ERS Refining Processing An introduction: The ERS Petrochemical Processes and Catalysis course begins with an overview and will progress to a detailed examination of the key elements involved in Petrochemical production and catalysis. Aspects of safety, environmental impact and future industry direction and developments will also be explored. This course will be invaluable to engineers or industrial chemists working in Chemical Plants or integrated Petrochemical / Refinery complexes. Additionally the course will be relevant and useful to personnel wishing to gain an insight into the relationship between petrochemicals, processes and catalysts. Overall Course objectives: Petrochemicals are the most valuable products obtained from steam crackers and refinery complexes. The conversion processes and catalysts employed therein are industries in their own right. The ERS Petrochemical Processes and Catalysis course begins with an overview and will progress to a detailed examination of the key elements involved in Petrochemical production and catalysis. Aspects of safety, environmental impact and future industry direction and developments will also be explored. Special topics will be addressed including: GTL Zeolites Guard Beds & Adsorbents Selective Hydrogenation Catalyst Selection Regeneration Recycling Reactor Design Catalyst Testing & Deactivation. As well as first hand advice on catalyst loading, activation and safe unloading from commercial petrochemical reactors.

Who should attend? Learning Objectives Course Presenter ERS Petrochemical Processes and Catalysis is targeted at and suitable for all professionals involved in either commercial or technical aspects of processes and catalysts utilised in the Petrochemical Industry. This course will be invaluable to engineers or industrial chemists working in Chemical Plants or integrated Petrochemical/Refinery complexes. Additionally the course will be relevant and useful to personnel wishing to gain an insight into the relationship between petrochemicals, processes and catalysts. Upon completion of this course you should have a better understanding of the Petrochemicals market and the most important and relevant process chemistry that is integral to this Industry. The interrelationship of all petrochemicals will be developed in a novel flow chart presentation. In addition, catalysts and the fundamentals of catalysis will be explored. The key petrochemicals from C1 through to polymers will be examined in detail along with Major Players and Catalyst Producers.
