Operation, Troubleshooting, Start-Up and Shutdown of Process Reactors
Introduction
The aim of this intensive course is to provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of hydrotreating units, the purpose, the catalyst used, reactions & operating variables. Further, the course covers the catalytic reformer unit, the type of catalyst, its function, deactivation, chemical reactions, and operating variables. The start-up, shutdown procedures, and emergency cases will also be covered. The last part of the course handles the hydro-cracking unit of VHGO, the catalyst used, the chemical reactions, the operating variables, the start-up, shutdown procedures, emergency cases, and run-away temperatures. The reactors play a capital role in many factory process operations. Basically, a reaction is an apparatus or structure in which fissile material can be made to undergo a controlled, self-sustaining nuclear reaction with the consequent release of energy. This course focuses on the essential knowledge for process plants. Specific areas that will be covered in the course are, the basic parts of a reactor, reactor operation, reactor types, auxiliary equipment combined with reactors, and the operator’s function in reactor operations
OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
-
- Describe the chemical reactions, processes of the variables, and temperature of the process reactors.
- Analyze the reaction mechanism involved in process reactors.
- Learn knowledge on the process control unit, emergency cases troubleshooting catalyst deactivation. Observe the gas oil including their start-up guidelines and emergency procedure
- Familiarize with the safety regulations and explain catalytic reformer units including its chemical reactions. Apply start-up and shutdown procedures with depth understanding of the catalyst regeneration procedure.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course is intended for all process engineers, production engineers, section heads, senior operators, shift controls, shift supervisors, technicians, plant operators, and those who are connected with process reactors.
