The Basics of Petrochemical Processing

 
  May 28, 2014  
     
 
CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
June 18, 2014 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend
This training is especially designed for those who would benefit from a complete overview of petrochemical processing starting with a variety of different feedstock sources. The webinar is also appropriate for those with limited to moderate petrochemical processing experience or those who are involved in supporting operations. In addition, operating personnel and engineering staff needing an overview of the entire petrochemical industry would find the course very valuable.

Job Titles/Functions Appropriate for the Seminar
  • Process, Project, Environmental and Plant Engineers 
  • Operations Economic Evaluators
  • Commercial Development Analysts and Planning Engineers
  • Fuel Buyers and Oil Traders
  • Catalyst Manufacturers and Refinery Chemists 
  • Product, Equipment, Chemicals, Supplies or Services Sales
    Personnel
  • Shale Gas Companies and Feedstock Suppliers

Description
This course will be available On Demand: June 19, 2014

This 90-minute accredited online training will present an overview of a modern, integrated petrochemical plant, including the feedstock properties, product slate, and the processes used to convert shale gas and liquid fuels into desirable products. Basic hydrocarbon chemistry, development of the stoichiometry and feed/product quality will be discussed, including changes to products resulting from a worldwide feedstock shift. The General Process Simulator in ASPEN-HYSYS will be used to illustrate shale gas or liquid fuel characteristics and the required processing into light olefins.

Seminar Highlights:
Chemistry; physical properties, product quality, process chemistry, feedstock characterization and product yield, impact of environmental legislation; overview of the modern integrated petrochemical plant; unit operations, reaction, heat recovery and distillation

 
 
Organized by: CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement
Invited Speakers: Gennaro J. (Jerry) Maffia; Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at Widener University and Consultant to the Chemical Processing Industry

After twenty years as a principal process engineer and manager in the petrochemicals industry, mostly with Atlantic Richfield, Inc., Dr. Gennaro (Jerry) Maffia joined Widener University in the fall of 1992 as Chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering. In 2010 Prof. Maffia joined his alma mater Manhattan College as Professor of Chemical Engineering. He also continues as Adjunct Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Drexel University. Prof. Maffia is an active consultant in chemical and bio-based processes, and is an associate of several consulting firms. He has offered many short courses, webinars and training workshops on process engineering and related topics at industrial and academic sites around the world. Prof. Maffia has degrees from Dartmouth College (PhD), NYU (MBA), and Manhattan College (BE & ME). He is the holder of seven US patents, several world patents and is a contributor to another 50. Prof. Maffia has supervised 55 graduate theses and has been in residence during 4 world scale petrochemical plant start-ups.
