COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Chemical Reactors Design, Operation & Control. It covers the role and importance of chemical reactors in industry; the types of reactors and basic reactor design equations; the thermodynamics and kinetics in reactor design, heat and mass transfer in reactors and reactor sizing and scale-up principles; the types of catalysts and their impact on reactor design; the non-ideal flow patterns in reactors, multiphase reactor design and reactor modeling and simulation; the optimization techniques in reactor design; the safety considerations in reactor design; the startup and shutdown procedures and best practices monitoring; and the proper monitoring and control of reactor conditions. During this interactive course, participants will learn to troubleshoot the common operational issues; the reactor maintenance and reliability, quality control in reactor operations and environmental and regulatory compliance; the reactor control systems, reactor control strategies, reactor safety and emergency control systems; the process optimization and efficiency by maximizing output while minimizing waste and energy use; integrating reactors with plant operations; the emerging technologies in reactor design; the green chemistry and sustainable reactor design; and the digitalization and smart reactors, future challenges and opportunities in reactor technology.
