COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Description

This hands-on, 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.

 

For over three decades, refiners worldwide have been implementing various projects in their facilities to accommodate a variety of regulations to improve the quality of transportation fuels in order to reduce vehicle emissions.

 

The purpose of diesel, naphtha and kerosene hydrotreater unit is to remove sulphur, nitrogen, aromatics contents and oxygen containing hydrocarbons on the special catalyst in the presence of hydrogen, and also for decomposition of paraffinic compounds in diesel fuel for the purpose of decrease of cloud point and setting point for winter period of a season.

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and an up-to-date overview of hydro-treating technology. It covers the naphtha, kerosene and diesel hydrotreating technology; the monitoring of unit operations, troubleshooting, latest developments and areas of concern; and the refinery feeds, products, and processes as well as the development of hydro processing backgrounds.

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the process fundamentals covering chemical reactions, catalysts, reaction kinetics, hydrogenation – dehydrogenation equilibrium, reaction selectivity, multicatalyst systems and commercial catalysts; the process design including typical processing conditions, reactor systems, flow schemes and design considerations; the distillate hydrotreating unit design and process capabilities; the naphtha hydrotreating process, kerosene hydrotreating process and diesel hydrotreating process; the licensed hydrotreating process; and the cost and economics.
