Cast Your Net: Criterion University



Learning about recent developments in catalysis is a challenging enterprise. One useful technique is to build your network of experts in areas of interest to you.

A time honored way to build a network is to attend events where these experts will be.

Accordingly, Criterion Catalysts (www.criterioncatalysts.com/) has what it calls Criterion University, which it describes as follows …

Criterion university
The Criterion University helps to build lasting beneficial relationships with our customers. We hold training courses at centres around the world for refinery engineers and technologists on subjects such as hydrotreating, fluidised catalytic cracking (FCC ) feed pretreatment, ULSD production, hydrocracking and residue upgrading. Catalysis is naturally at the heart of the teaching, though process technology input is frequently provided by experts from Shell Global Solutions. In addition to the standard courses, the Criterion University provides tailored programmes to suit individual customer’s training requirements.

A recent visit to the site revealed descriptions of two Criterion University courses. The first listed - Hydrocracking & Hydroprocessing Seminar -  has already come and gone. However, the descriptions and the email contacts may be useful for information on future events.

The second listed course -
Ebullated Bed Residue Upgrading Workshop - has no date, so I am not sure what that means.  Again, the contacts are listed for further information on the course.

Hydrocracking & Hydroprocessing Seminar
Date: 20 August – 25 August, 2017
Location: The Willard Intercontinental Washington DC
1401 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20004
Event Details:
The seminars have been developed for engineering and operations personnel who have entered the hydrocracking or hydroprocessing field and are looking for a deeper practical and theoretical knowledge base and desire a detailed review on the technologies employed at their facilities.
You will be able to choose which of the seminars best fits your needs and register to attend that specific seminar.  The seminars being offered are:

Ebullated Bed Residue Upgrading Workshop
Date:
Location:
Who should attend?
This workshop will provide process engineers, operators, project engineers and refining staff with a cutting-edge understanding of the Ebullated Bed Residue Upgrading Technology. We have designed this workshop to provide an expert overview of the key operational aspects of residue upgrading.
Comprehensive information
The workshop will not only cover the catalyst and process fundamentals, but also subjects such as Ebullated Bed unit reliability, unit fouling, product stability and unit optimization.
Highlights include:
Basics of Residue Upgrading
Ebullated Bed Catalysts and Unit Optimization
Fouling and Product Stability
Unit Reliability
Economics
Catalyst Development, Upscaling & Manufacturing
Fouling Mitigation Around Ebullated Bed Units
Reliability Programs
Residue Hydro-Conversion Processes & Chemistry
Unit Performance Monitoring & Optimization
Process Options Available to Operators of Residue Hydrocrackers for Controlling the Stability of Unconverted Bottoms
Catalysts Logistics
-
Laboratory Scale Testing
Sediment Control Catalysts
Best-Practice Exchange
Work directly with the expert
Industry experts will present each subject area, and each session will be concluded with a question and answer period allowing ample time for in-depth discussions and exchange of experiences.
