Distillation Basics Troubleshooting
- The goal of the course would be to refresh the Skill Makers of those who have a basic understanding of distillation and to build a foundation to those who are new to the distillation.
Learning Outcomes
- This course will guide the participates to develop key concepts and techniques to operate and troubleshoot a distillation system.
- These key concepts can be utilized to make operating decisions. Training and development are an investment in future success - give yourself and your employees the keys to success.
- Product recoveries, purities and energy utilization can be improved in most distillation systems. This cannot be achieved without first an understanding of distillation operation principles.
- These principles need to be understood in advance of operating and troubleshooting a distillation column for the operator or problem solving to be effective.
