Course Description

 
 
This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions where participants will visit the PVC manufacturing plant. Practical sessions will be performed in order to apply the theory learnt in the class. 
 
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of PVC Manufacturing and Process Troubleshooting. It covers the PVC and its significance in the petrochemical industry; the chemical structure and properties of PVC; the grades and applications of PVC; the thermal and mechanical behavior of PVC, the role and types of additives in modifying PVC properties and the influence of additives on processing and mechanical properties; the PVC polymerization techniques and suspension polymerization process for PVC; the controlling key reaction parameters; and the impact of reaction kinetics on molecular weight distribution and product consistency. 
 
Further, the course will also discuss the reactor technologies for suspension PVC production; the advanced monitoring of polymerization conditions for process efficiency and troubleshooting common issues like reactor fouling, scaling and heat management; the challenges and solutions in suspension PVC production and processing methods for PVC including rheology and processability of PVC; and the testing standards, industry specifications and the mechanical testing, thermal testing and chemical resistance testing of PVC. 
 
 
During this interactive course, participants will learn the industry environmental standards and compliance needs in PVC manufacturing; the compounding techniques specific to suspension PVC; mapping PVC grades to applications, focusing on impact and performance for customer-specific needs; addressing typical customer inquiries related to quality, application suitability and processability; the techniques for resolving common claims, especially regarding handling, packaging, and quality discrepancies; conducting trials to optimize processing parameters and addressing transformation issues; and the innovations in PVC manufacturing, emerging technologies, future market trends and sustainable practices
