Operations and Troubleshooting of Distillation Columns, Absorbers, Regeneration, Separators and Desalters
Understand column internals and their hydraulic limits, then diagnose flooding, weeping and entrainment from field symptoms. Participants learn to run absorbers and regeneration at the right circulation, resolve separator carry-over and emulsion, and optimise desalters to protect downstream units.
- Understand column internals, trays, packing and their hydraulic operating limits.
- Diagnose flooding, weeping, entrainment and poor separation from field symptoms.
- Operate absorbers and regeneration systems at the right circulation and temperature.
- Troubleshoot separator carry-over, emulsion and level control problems.
- Optimise desalter performance to protect downstream units from salt and solids.
