Petrochemicals
- Overview of Petrochemical Processes, Catalysts and Markets - PPCM
-
This course begins with an overview and will progress to a detailed examination of the key elements involved in petrochemical production and catalysis. Aspects of safety, environmental impact and future industry direction and developments will also be explored.
Upon completion of this course, you should have a better understanding of the petrochemicals markets and the most important and relevant process chemistry that is integral to this industry. The interrelationship of all petrochemicals will be developed in a novel flow chart presentation. In addition, catalysts and the fundamentals of catalysis will be explored. The key petrochemicals from C1 through to polymers will be examined in detail along with major players and catalyst producers.
- Petrochemical Markets and Economics - The Impact of Feedstocks and Costs on Competitiveness and Business Strategy - CH1
-
This five-day course is an introduction to the petrochemical industry. It covers the main product families, how they are linked, key aspects of processes and their underlying economics that feed the markets and drive the industry. The unifying theme of the course is competitiveness - the feedstock relationships, cost structures, profitability and pricing. This extends to international trade and selected environmental issues. There are case studies to enable attendees to explore the application of the material. This course is not aimed at existing experts.
- Petrochemical Terminology - A Non-Technical Overview - PTC1
-
The petrochemical industry has more jargon and technical language than most businesses and yet it is actually quite simple - once you have the key! This course is designed to give you that key, explaining in simple terms what the industry is about and what the jargon means.
- The Aromatics Business - Markets and Economics - CH5
-
This course is designed to cover the technology, economics and markets for aromatics used in the chemical industry. It will explain the relationship of aromatics to the gasoline pool both in terms of availability and value, and discuss the approach to forecasting the prices of aromatics. New developments in the aromatics business will be discussed including the US Clean Air Act, and new routes to aromatic such as Cyclar and Aromax.
- The Olefins Business - Markets and Economics - CH6
-
The course covers the technology, economics and markets for the olefins business. It will explore the economics of different feedstocks and the balance of supply and demand. There will be a full discussion about the importance of integration downstream to derivatives.
- Understanding the International Petrochemicals Business - Technology, Markets and Economics - CH0
-
The organic chemical industry centres on the relationships between raw materials, intermediates, end products and applications. Basic to these relationships are chemical reactions, and fundamental to the total business is economics. To be able to work successfully within this complex industry requires a combination of practical experience with an understanding of chemistry, markets and economics. The course offers an organised overview of the industry that is essential for the successful operations within it. There are no pre-requisites for this course, nor is any advanced preparation required.
- Chemistry in the Petroleum Refinery - CR
-
Chemistry is the foundation on which the petroleum industry is built. In this intermediate-level course, you will learn how hydrocarbons found in crude oil are transformed into a range of marketable petroleum products. Learn about the chemistry associated with the major operating units – hydrocracker, fluid catalytic cracking unit, coker, alkylation unit, catalytic reformer, isomerization unit, and hydrotreater. Delegates taking this course should already have successfully completed PrincetonLive.com’s Petroleum Refining Made Easy, or have equivalent knowledge.
- A Basic Overview of Petrochemicals - BOP
-
In this intermediate level course you will be introduced to the building blocks of petrochemicals, the nine key hydrocarbon compounds that form the basis for the petrochemicals industry. We will cover these important hydrocarbons one by one, sharing knowledge of how they're derived, the technology employed to produce them, and some of the many products manufactured using them. Please join us and enjoy this opportunity to learn how petrochemicals have become one of the most important industries in today's world. Delegates taking this course should already have successfully completed Introduction to Petroleum Chemistry, or have equivalent knowledge of refining chemistry.
- Introduction to Petroleum Chemistry - IPC
-
Recognizing the chemical make-up of hydrocarbons is one of the fundamentals of the petroleum industry. Learn about the structure of hydrocarbons and some common hydrocarbon compounds that are essential to the petroleum industry. This introductory course teaches you all about the properties of hydrocarbons that make them the building blocks of petroleum chemistry. There are no pre-requisites for this course and there is no advanced preparation required for this course.
- Petrochemical Markets and Economics - The Impact of Feedstocks and Costs on Competitiveness and Business Strategy - CH1O
-
This three-day course provides a fundamental understanding of petrochemical economics and the feedstock/price inter-relationships affecting market competitiveness. It will analyse the fundamentals of competitiveness in producing base chemicals and how these will affect business decisions, process and feedstock selection. Participants will analyse production and supply costs which will highlight the price determining mechanisms and opportunities for profits in the industry. The course is not aimed at existing experts but instead, serves as an introduction to more specialised courses.
