Distillation Design, Operation, Control & Troubleshooting
Apply vapour-liquid equilibrium and stage concepts to how columns actually behave. Participants weigh reflux ratio, feed stage and energy trade-offs, tune control schemes for stable separation, and diagnose fouling, flooding and off-specification product from pressure and temperature profiles.
- Apply vapour liquid equilibrium and stage concepts to real column behaviour.
- Understand reflux ratio, feed stage location and energy trade-offs in design.
- Configure and tune column control schemes for stable separation.
- Diagnose capacity and efficiency limits from pressure drop and temperature profiles.
- Recommend practical fixes for fouling, flooding and off-specification products.

Hydrotreating & Hydrocracker Process
Understand the reaction chemistry, catalyst systems and process variables behind hydrotreating and hydrocracking. Participants identify the main equipment and learn to control feed quality, hydrogen partial pressure, space velocity and reactor temperature to hold product specifications.
Operations Abnormalities & Plant Upset
Recognise the early indicators that separate a normal process excursion from a developing plant upset. Participants apply a structured method for diagnosing abnormal conditions across reactors, columns, exchangers and utilities, and learn to prioritise operator action under pressure.
H2 Production by Steam Reforming Technology
Follow the steam methane reforming route from feed pre-treatment through to purified hydrogen product. Participants learn reformer furnace, shift converter and PSA operation, how to control steam-to-carbon ratio and outlet temperature, and how to prevent carbon laydown and tube overheating.
