HYDROTREATING & HYDROCRACKING PROCESS TECHNOLOGY |
“Instructor was excellent and freely shared experience. Topics were presented in a way that enabled questions and dialogue from everyone, which contributed even more to the workshop. The slides were very good and the binder material will make excellent reference material for the future. Also, very good and very practical discussions on process safety (what to avoid and lessons learned from past incidents). ”

Description:
Becht has developed this program to provide an in-depth, yet practical review of both hydrotreating and hydrocracking technologies for the refining of petroleum. The speaker will cover topics ranging from the chemistry of hydrotreating and hydrocracking to a discussion of the design of commercial processes and reactors. The program will also address FCC feed pretreatment, diesel and jet fuel production, naphtha hydrotreating, and hydrogen production and purification. The program instructor will be Jeff Johns. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience covering all areas of hydrotreating and hydrocracking. Seminar participants will have an opportunity to obtain a broad working knowledge of petroleum hydrotreating and hydrocracking from a distinguished industry expert. In addition, participants will be able to stay abreast of the developments in hydroprocessing technology, to interact with others working in this area of refining, and to have their questions answered in the open forum sessions. |

Who Should Attend:
This program is ideal for personnel involved in refinery process engineering, unit operations, catalyst research and development, catalyst sales, and refinery technical service. Engineers from design and construction companies as well as those who provide products and services to the petroleum refining industry should also find the program very useful and informative. Managers who have not had previous Hydroprocessing experience would also find this class to be very valuable. |
