This in-depth, practical training course delivers practical expertise on the complete ethylene plant—from cracking furnaces and recovery systems to compression, cold trains, hydrogenation, contaminants and decoking control , and key economic drivers. Covering essential aspects such as pyrolysis chemistry, furnace operation, quench and cosystems, cold box design, cracking gas compression, fractionation, hydrate control, auxiliary equipment, and coke management, this four-day intensive program prepares engineers to design robust crackers, optimize operational performance, troubleshoot performance issues, and evaluate design bases for new projects.

Participants will leave with the technical insight needed to enhance plant reliability, maximize C2/C3 yield, minimize downtime, and drive economic efficiency for their ethylene units.

This course is intended for a wide range of professionals from hydrocarbon process industries with entry level to mid-level industrial experience.

After completion of this course the participant will acquire an in-depth knowledge of Ethylene Cracking Technology beginning with position of Cracker in the value chain, Cracking Furnace Technology, Coking/Decoking, Quench System, Cracked Gas Compression, Recovery Train, Cold Box, C2/ C3 Hydrogenation, Safety Events, Contaminants Hydrates & Economics of Production. The Participants will be able to apply their learnings to – operate/trouble shoot their ethylene plant, understand key variables when formulating a design basis for an ethylene cracker project.
