What does this programme cover?

Distillation column operation decides product purity, throughput and energy use across refineries, gas plants and petrochemical sites, yet many columns run far from their best point because crews cannot read where the hydraulic limits sit or why the control scheme reacts as it does. This Core Concept course gives operators and process engineers the separation basis, tray and packing hydraulics, reboiler and condenser behaviour and control structures behind a stable column. Each participant builds a Column Operating Envelope and Control Sheet for a fractionator, absorber or stripper at their own site.
