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 Hydrocracker and Base Oil Process – Basic. It covers the hydrocracking process, basic chemistry involved in hydrocracking and the importance in refining and product upgrade; the hydrocracking unit configuration, catalysts used in hydrocracking and types of hydrocracking processes; the hydrocracking operating conditions and hydrocracking feedstocks and products; the reaction mechanisms in hydrocracking, rate of reaction and temperature effect; and the role of hydrogen in hydrocracking and reaction equilibrium and selectivity. 
 
During this interactive course, participants will learn the heat exchangers in hydrocracking units, energy consumption and heat recovery; optimizing energy efficiency, minimizing energy usage and troubleshooting pressure and temperature variations; the control systems in hydrocracking operations, automation techniques and technologies used; the base oil production and types of base oils and their applications; the base oil process units and configuration, base oil process optimization and environmental and safety considerations in hydrocracking; the key quality parameters for hydrocracking products and quality control techniques; the sampling and testing procedures and quality assurance systems; the cost analysis in hydrocracking and base oil processes, ROI and profitability considerations; and benchmarking operational performance and optimizing throughput and reducing operational costs.
