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 Continuous Catalyst Regeneration (CCR) Platforming - Process Standard. It covers the platforming process, basic principles of catalytic reforming, continuous catalyst regeneration (CCR) system and catalyst deactivation mechanisms; the catalyst performance and regeneration, process flow diagram (PFD) for CCR platforming and design of the CCR reactor; the reactor operating conditions, regeneration process and catalyst bed management; the heat and mass balance in CCR and troubleshooting reactor issues; and the control systems in CCR platforming, automation of CCR operations, advanced process control (APC) for CCR and instrumentation for monitoring and control. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the CCR process optimization, safety and environmental considerations; advanced catalyst regeneration techniques, signs of catalyst failure and handling deactivation issues; analyzing catalyst behavior over time, catalyst reactivation methods and reducing energy consumption in the reactor; the energy recovery methods, heat integration in the platforming process and energy balance in CCR operations; diagnosing operational issues in reactors and regenerators; the common faults in heat exchangers and reactors, cooling and heating issues and managing off-spec product quality; controlling octane numbers and managing aromatics and hydrogen content; and identifying impurities in platforming products and the product specification monitoring.
