COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Description

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 Crude Wet Oil Dehydration and Desalting with Heater. It covers the crude oil properties including dehydration and desalting; the formation and stability of oil-water emulsions and chemistry of emulsion breaking; managing risks associated with the dehydration and desalting process; the mechanical dehydration methods and thermal dehydration techniques; the operational parameters for dehydration; troubleshooting common issues; and the process control and instrumentation.

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the routine and preventive maintenance requirements for dehydration equipment; the fundamentals of desalting, desalting technology and equipment and chemical injection systems; the operational challenges and solutions in desalting; the quality control in desalting; the energy conservation measure and emerging technologies in dehydration and desalting; the cost analysis, operational costs and impact on refinery economics; complying with environmental and safety regulations; and the practical drills related to potential hazards in dehydration and desalting operations.
