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 Distillation Unit Operations. It covers the crude distillation process, basic principles of distillation and distillation unit components; the crude distillation column design, operating principles of the crude unit and control systems and instrumentation; the types of heat exchangers, preheat feedstock, heat integration and energy optimization; the safety and environmental considerations, distillation column performance evaluation, tray efficiency, poor separation efficiency and column pressure drop; and the pre-treatment of feed and different types of crude oil. 
 
During this interactive course, participants will learn the column flooding, foaming and entrainment; managing temperature and pressure imbalances; the distillate cuts, product specifications, laboratory analysis and online analyzers; the operational parameters for product quality optimization, planned and unplanned shutdowns and pre-startup checks and safety measures; the impact of startup conditions on unit performance, startup failures and troubleshooting strategies; and the optimization techniques for throughput and yield and enhancing energy efficiency in crude distillation.
