Why Choose this Training Course?
This comprehensive Hydrotreating & Hydrocracking Process Technology training course overlays the process
fundamentals and sound knowledge of Hydrotreating and Hydrocracking processes where Hydrogen is a key material
in the upgrading and treatment of refinery products and fractions. A review of the stateoftheart in process design,
energy and mass integration will be presented as potential key improvements.
Indepth practical review of Hydrotreating/cracking technologies is provided across the course topics. The contents focus
on the Hydroconversion of heavy products, distillates, diesel, and naphtha into other hydrogenated/lower molecular
weight products, besides saturated products with enhanced Cetane number, free of sulphur, nitrogen and metals. The
course also discusses some process design/chemistry and engineering principles for such processes and presents
scope for improvements.
This PetroKnowledge course is valuable to engineers/scientists, designers and researchers involved in the industry of
Hydroconversion in refiners. Yet it is most beneficial to those professionals with experiences in other fields and willing
to acquire knowledge in Hydroconversion processes.
This training course will feature:
Lectures, exercises and team work in some areas of process design and improvement
Real studies that exhibit improvement solution for energy/environment
Knowledge transfer of instructor’s extensive engaged industrial consultations
Practice of Excelbased design tools for mass/energy integration in refining plants
Open discussion on actual problems/data for design and improvements
Training Objectives
What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
