Catalytic Resid Upgrading - Ebullated Bed Process Training
Consultant/Trainer: Woodrow Shiflett
Petrogenium’s specialized one-day training on the Ebullated Bed Catalytic Residue Upgrading process provides refinery teams with the expertise needed to efficiently process heavy residues and optimize unit performance. This course addresses critical challenges such as catalyst management, operational troubleshooting, and maximizing product yields from difficult feedstocks like vacuum residues that conventional reactors struggle to handle.
Provide your team with the expertise to maximize ebullated bed unit performance and achieve optimal results.
Participants
This Petrogenium course can be tailored for awareness/inexperienced staff, for intermediate and for experienced personnel. Furthermore the course can be customized for a specific refinery, plant or unit. The option for post-course consultancy/help-desk support is also available.
Participants may include: Unit technologists, process engineers, experienced operations- and laboratory staff who are working on or exposed to Resid Upgrading technology or its feeds and products (fuel oil blending operations). Further the course will be valuable to anybody that wants to gain better perspective on how Resid Upgrading Units fit into the refining scheme.
Learning Objectives
This one-day course provides a general introduction to Catalytic Resid Upgrading and more specifically Ebbulated Bed units. The basis and theory behind the process will be addressed including properties of feed and products as well as stability theory. Further elements are main process equipment including their constraints, unit operation as well Catalyst Addition Rate optimization. The workshop can be concluded with an interactive discussion and analysis on the current challenges and issues of the unit at hand.
