<strong>Petrochemicals</strong> Processing <strong>and</strong> Catalysts<br />
Introduction:<br />
Refining Process Services have provided technical assistance <strong>and</strong> offered specialized<br />
educational <strong>training</strong> programs to the worldwide petroleum refining industry. This brochure<br />
presents information on our "Introduction to <strong>Petrochemicals</strong> Processing <strong>and</strong> Catalysts" seminar,<br />
which was developed specifically for engineering, R & D, <strong>and</strong> operations personnel who have<br />
limited experience, but who have substantial technical education or a technical operating<br />
background. The program begins with an overview <strong>and</strong> progresses to a detailed examination of<br />
the key elements involved in petrochemical production <strong>and</strong> catalysis. Aspects of safety,<br />
environmental impact <strong>and</strong> future industry direction <strong>and</strong> developments will also be explored.<br />
Special topics will be addressed including first-h<strong>and</strong> advice on catalyst loading, activation, <strong>and</strong><br />
safe unloading from commercial petrochemical reactors. Upon completion of this program the<br />
participants will have a better underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the petrochemicals market, <strong>and</strong> the most<br />
important <strong>and</strong> relevant process chemistry that is integral to this industry.<br />
The program will also maintain a perspective on international developments in<br />
petrochemicals technologies. The primary focus of the program is applied research <strong>and</strong><br />
development (R&D), including development related to localization <strong>and</strong> technology transfer. The<br />
program conducts basic / fundamental research only if <strong>and</strong> when needed to support applied<br />
research <strong>and</strong> development.<br />
Who should attend<br />
The program has been designed for:<br />
All professionals involved in either the commercial or technical aspects of processes <strong>and</strong><br />
catalysts utilized in the petrochemical industry.<br />
This program is valuable to engineers <strong>and</strong> industrial chemists working in chemical plants<br />
or integrated petrochemicals/refinery complexes.<br />
Topics:<br />
Light paraffin activation (e.g. gas to liquid (GTL)<br />
Selective oxidation, utilizing novel catalytic reactors such as membrane reactors for<br />
selective oxidation <strong>and</strong> oxidative coupling)<br />
Polymers (e.g., producing engineering <strong>and</strong> high performance polymers, polymeric<br />
membranes, <strong>and</strong> conductive polymers)<br />
Gas &Oil Processes<br />
