Process Units

An engaging and accessible e-learning program designed to improve our clients’ Performance, Safety & Reliability; the central components of successful operations.

Process Units

Process Unit Basics is a comprehensive, 37 module program covering the Process Units found in a typical fuels refinery. The program is split into 11 sub-programs covering the 11 main Process Units; each comprising a varying number of modules.

Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Advanced is an 8 module program that delves deeper into the complexities of the FCC – in particular the hydraulic & thermal relationships in the Reactor-Regenerator system. FCC Advanced is suitable for senior operators and graduate process engineers.

The aim of the Process Unit Basics program is to familiarize trainees with common Process Units they are likely to encounter in their plant and provide a solid foundation for assignment to a particular unit.

The first program, ‘Refinery Orientation’ teaches the trainee about the Overall Refinery Processing Configuration, describing the function of each Process Unit, the Product Slate, Unit Operations & Hydrocarbon Chemistry. For each process unit, the program addresses the following:

  • Process Description
  • Process Control Description
  • Equipment Functional Description
  • Common Operating Problems

The program utilizes animated Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Process Flow Control Diagrams (PFCDs) to walk the trainee through the process, facilitating trainee understanding of the process flows and process controls while simultaneously familiarizing trainees with reading and understanding PFDs and PFCDs in general.

An important theme of the program is the optimization of throughputs, yields, conversions and product qualities, while at the same time minimizing operating costs, reducing/eliminating production, inventory, equipment, energy & environmental losses.

The Process Units program comprises the following programs/modules:
