Description:
With increased restrictions on gasoline quality and increased availability of LPG liquids, the value of alkylation and alkylate has never been higher. Alkylation economics have been such that even standalone alkylation units have been constructed. The strong outlook for alkylation has resulted in increased demands on alkylation units both in terms of rate and reliability. Sulfuric alkylation units present challenges in acid handling and management, corrosion control as well as controlling alkylation reactions. Understanding the tradeoffs between operating parameters and alkylate rate allows better optimization of the unit. This course also provides guides around unit monitoring, acid management, managing unit process hazards and unit optimization. This seminar covers topics from alkylation chemistry and operating variables through reaction equipment and corrosion management. The program will include best practices around unit monitoring, process hazards management and unit optimization. The seminar is geared for both process engineers and plant operations with topics of interest for both. The session will also include a Q&A session to allow shared discussion on any topic of interest. |
