CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
June 11, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
This online introductory training webinar will benefit R&D and design professionals in the following industries: refining, chemicals and petrochemicals processing. The material should also be pertinent for industry, academia, and government fuel gas scientists and engineers.
This webinar is designed for scientists, engineers and technicians who are involved in the conversion of natural gas into more valuable products. Managers responsible for program development and strategic planning should find this webinar of interest.
Other disciplines who would find this webinar of interest include process plant operators, and plant/project engineers. Description
With the discovery of vast quantities of natural gas available in various shale formations in Pennsylvania, New York and several adjoining states comes the opportunity to convert this gas, traditionally used for fuel, into more value added products. The methane fraction can be converted into intermediates such as ethylene via oxidative coupling or reforming to synthesis gas, whereas the ethane/propane (E/P) fraction can be converted into ethylene via conventional steam pyrolysis.
In this 90-minute, accredited webinar, the processing requirements of a variety of technologies starting with methane and E/P mixes will be presented along with the expected material and energy balances and production economics.
