Training Course Overview
In contemporary petroleum refineries, catalytic cracking and reforming units are essential for transforming low-value feedstocks into high-value transportation fuels and petrochemical intermediates. With the rising global demand for cleaner, higher-octane gasoline and more efficient processing, engineers must gain a deep understanding of the science and technology behind these crucial conversion processes. This Catalytic Cracking and Reforming: Key Technologies in Modern Refineries training course delves into the design, operation, and optimization of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) and catalytic reforming units. Participants will explore catalyst behavior, reaction mechanisms, process variables, and emissions control methods. Through real-world case studies, common operational challenges will be addressed, focusing on solutions like process optimization, catalyst management, and energy integration.
