Who Should Attend
This seminar is intended for engineers and technicians who
are actively involved with the design and/or operation of
distillation equipment. It will also benefit managers,
statisticians and others concerned with improving quality and
productivity of any manufacturing facility that utilizes distillation
equipment. The information is presented in a language that is
clear and easy to understand by both the expert and the
novice. Presentations are low on equations and mathematical
jargon and high on examples and case-studies.
Description
Industry must pay close attention to the operation and control
of its manufacturing processes. Today's highly competitive
markets combined with increasingly sophisticated process
designs have placed growing demands on process
understanding and process control. In each manufacturing
operation, the challenge to optimally operate chemical plants
and in particular distillation operations have become more
complex. This class is intended to provide a systematic
overview of the fundamentals of distillation and the needed
insight to operate and control distillation towers effectively.
Examples and cases studies taken from chemical
manufacturing and petroleum refining will be used to
demonstrate and integrate the various technical and nontechnical
details important to the operation and control of
distillation processes. An emphasis will be placed on using
process knowledge and maintaining proper context and
perspective in all aspects of process operation and control.
This three day accredited program will provide an overview of
the current practices used to design, operate, and control
industrial distillation equipment. Basic and advanced concepts
of distillation and their application to day to day operation,
system analysis, and troubleshooting will be presented.
