Our new distillation course is now available at different venues [Thessaloniki/ Greece, Budapest/Hungary, London/UK, Wien/ Austria] and online [webinar].

Distillation is one of the most important purification and separation technology in chemical plants. Its understanding requires thermodynamics, design, process simulation, fluid flow and chemistry strong background. In this course advanced subjects are discussed [in addition to distillation principles] that include troubleshooting, case studies, design, control and operation.

 

Attend the course to:

• Learn the principles of distillation theory

• Understand the advantages and disadvantages of each typology of distillation technique

• Familiarize with operational case studies

• Discuss transitional operating states [feed increments, pressure increments, etc]

• Learn how to identify and avoid undesirable distillation operation regimes

• Learn how to control distillation processes

• Discuss troubleshooting case studies

• Become aware of the safety and environmental risks associated with distillation process

• Discuss operational inspections of distillation columns

Who should attend?

This course in intended for:

-         All professionals working in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and process industries with a need to understand, design, operate the columns

-          All professionals working in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and process industries with a need to prevent and overcome issues related to the distillation process.

-         Course is advanced, so prior understanding of thermodynamics, equilibrium and fluid flows is a requirement
