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 hydro-treating technology. It covers the performance of the large panel of the existing hydro-treatment process in the refining industry; the hydro-treatment units and hydrogen balance; the potential disturbances and their remedies; the impurities content in the petroleum cuts and products; the various treatments with hydrogen and integration in the refining scheme; and the characteristics of chemical reactions and catalysts for hydropurification and for hydrogenation.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the loading of the catalyst and the internals in the reactor; the presulfiding procedures; the operating conditions and compositions of the main streams; the significance of the operating variables and their influence on the process; and the advanced process control, optimization process and management of the hydrogen network in refinery.
