Who Should Attend
This course is designed for technical professionals who are, or will be, involved with hydrogenation processes in R&D or manufacturing situations for the specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries.
It would be of particular benefit to:- Chemists
- Engineers
- Laboratory Personnel
- Pilot Plant Personnel
- Production Personnel
- Process Development Personnel
Description
This is a survey course intended to provide participants with a practical understanding of hydrogenation. The role of catalysts will be covered, including specific industrial catalysts and the reactions and processes where used. Emphasis will be placed on the design and layout of the hydrogenation laboratory, pilot plant and commercial plant and on hydrogenation operations in laboratory, pilot plant and plant equipment. The design of batch and continuous reactors, hydrogen handling and overall operation safety will also be discussed.
