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 Process Chemicals Significance and Specifications. It covers the importance of process chemicals, role of chemicals in upstream, midstream and downstream operations and key categories of process chemicals; the classification of process chemicals in petroleum industry; the chemical composition and properties, chemical safety and hazard management, quality control and regulatory compliance; the role of demulsifiers in crude oil processing, types and selection criteria for demulsifiers and testing and performance evaluation methods; and the corrosion inhibitors and their applications, scale inhibitors and biocides.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the anti-foaming and foam-control agents, drag reducing agents (DRA) in pipeline operations and catalysts in refining processes; the hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) scavengers, anti-fouling and sludge control agents, antioxidants and stabilizers in fuel processing; the oxygen scavengers in water treatment and laboratory testing of process chemicals; the quality control in chemical manufacturing and supply chain, chemical compatibility and stability analysis; the environmental impact of process chemicals, chemical injection system operation and troubleshooting; and the safety drills and emergency response for chemical handling.
