Participants

This Petrogenium. course can be tailored for awareness/inexperienced staff, for intermediate and for experienced personnel. Furthermore the course can be customized for a specific refinery, plant or unit. The option for post-course consultancy/help-desk support is also available. Participants may include: oil refining personnel especially those involved with hydrocracking; researchers & professionals who work in hydrocracking; catalyst manufacturing staff, especially those involved in the production& research of hydrocracking catalysts; staff involved in refinery optimization & maximizing synergies between refinery processes.

Learning Objectives

How to make optimal use of hydrocracking units; understanding the types of reactions & kinetics, including reaction calculations; catalyst explanations, manufacture & commercially available catalysts; feedstocks; catalysts handling & testing; corrosion; safety aspects; troubleshooting; tenders & technical offers; technical forecasts based on pilot plant data.
