Training

Technology Innovation Farms LLC offers ten (10) short courses in the fields of Refining, Petrochemicals and Intellectual Property. The short courses are designed for chemists and chemical engineers working in operations, engineering or Research and Development. The courses can be redesigned for technicians and operators or others, such as IP attorneys and investors. They teach fundamentals, practical experience, interactive case studies and Q&A sessions.

Each course is designed for 4½ days. Durations can be changed to meet time and budget constraints by adding more relevant material or removing less relevant material. The courses can be delivered at any location. Please go through the Training menu to learn the details of each course, and contact us for more information.

Course Details

ScopeThe Crude to Chemicals Technologies Short Course overviews the process configurations offered by licensors and technology developers. The course will overview various types of crude oils and their compositions, processing objectives and process economics. The fundamental and practical aspects of technologies (hydrotreating, hydrocracking, deep hydrogenation, fluid catalytic cracking, residue processing options, steam cracking, selective hydrogenation, aromatics recovery, reverse isomerization) used in each configuration will be reviewed to give full understanding of chemical production.
ObjectiveTo learn the fundamentals of each process configuration, feedstocks used, process technologies utilized, product specification.
