COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Fractionation and Absorption Fundamental. It covers the processes of fractionation and absorption and their significance in petroleum processing; the basic concepts, thermodynamics and phase equilibria of fractionation; the mass transfer and equilibrium concepts of absorption; the types of fractionation processes like distillation, stripping and flashing; the types of absorption processes covering physical and chemical absorption; addressing safety practices and environmental impacts in fractionation and absorption operations; designing distillation columns; and traying and packing design in fractionation columns. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the simulation and modelling of fractionation processes; the techniques to minimize energy consumption; troubleshooting fractionation operations including the criteria and methodologies for designing absorption units; the absorbent selection and management and mass transfer equipment in absorption processes; the software tools of absorption processes; the guidelines for efficient operation and solving common problems; the advanced control strategies for fractionation and absorption units; and the strategies for energy efficiency through heat integration.
