Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Distillation Technology. It covers the basic principles of distillation technology and its importance in refining process; the Raoul’s law and partial pressure concepts; the modelling techniques for vapour-liquid equilibria; the principles of column modelling, tray efficiency and rate-based models; setting operating conditions covering pressure, temperature limits and operating window; the types, features and limitations of distillation equipment, distillation trays, valves and downcomers; the types and functions of inlet and outlet devices; and the distributors and draw-off trays and design considerations for optimal performance.

Further, the course will also discuss the miscellaneous equipment including liquid ring pumps, drums and accumulators; the types and line-ups of vacuum distillation units including maxwell-Bonnell temperature and its significance; analyzing Conradson carbon residue and the specification requirements for vacuum distillation products; identifying and diagnosing operational problems; the tools and techniques for effective troubleshooting; the stabilizers, LPG splitters and stripper-dryer columns; and the principles of process control in distillation.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the key considerations in the design of distillation units; the principles of heat integration in distillation processes; the maintenance and reliability and optimization techniques; the evaluation of economic impact of operational decisions; the emerging technologies in distillation; and the advanced troubleshooting techniques and process safety considerations in distillation operations.
