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. 

The Distillation Process is used in many industries to separate mixtures into components. It is defined as a process in which a liquid or vapor mixture of two or more substances is separated into its component fractions of desired purity by the application and removal of heat. The application and removal of heat makes the distillation process energy intensive as it is consuming up to 50 percent of a refinery’s operating costs due to intense heating and cooling cycles. Having accurate measurements to feed the control system is critical for energy efficient, safe and reliable operation. 

Improving distillation columns has always been challenging as problems can occur when operators and engineers have insufficient information about operating conditions. Failing to properly monitor and control process variables can result in decreased product quality and throughput, increased energy costs and unsafe operations that put employees and capital equipment at risk. 
 
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of crude ATM and vacuum distillation unit process. It covers the refinery flow sheet, hydrocarbon chemistry, crude oil properties, tests, sources and assays; the fuel products specifications covering environmental regs, specifications and MTBE; the atmospheric and vacuum distillation and fluid catalytic cracking; the crude ATM and vacuum process; the distillations units products and its characteristics that include liquid petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline and naphtha; and the kerosene and related jet aircraft fuels, diesel fuel, fuel oils, lubricating oils, paraffin wax, asphalt & tar and petroleum coke.
