The Imperial Corporate Training Institute provides training about petrochemical fundamentals and dynamics through their Petrochemical Industry Fundamentals and Process Dynamics Training Course. This course introduces the basic concepts associated with the petrochemical industry as well as how materials are processed into finished products. It will cover the different types of petrochemical processes, the production of polymers and industrial manufacturing, to offer students an integrated understanding of the fundamentals of petrochemical production. The course format allows for a combination of both theoretical principles and practical applications to develop the participant’s fundamental understanding of the petrochemical industry.
The emphasis of this course relates to the dynamic aspects related to the manufacturing processes, specifically how operating conditions affect chemical reactions and equipment performance. Course participants will learn to effectively manage and optimize their chemical processing systems, as well as recognize the properties of and production techniques for polymers and how to evaluate feedstocks in the production of specific petrochemical products. The course is suitable for those currently working within or seeking employment with a petrochemical company, offering participants actionable information that they can implement to enhance their productivity, efficiency and quality of the finished product.
