About the Course

This course provides advanced technical training on catalysts and catalytic processes used in refining, covering how catalysts are selected for specific processes and how their performance is monitored across a run cycle. It is designed for experienced process professionals working with catalytic units.

Participants examine catalyst deactivation and regeneration mechanisms, along with the catalysts used in reforming and hydroprocessing units, building the technical grounding needed to support catalyst management decisions. Practical examples reinforce how catalyst performance affects overall unit economics.

Learning Milestones

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

- Select catalysts appropriate for given refining processes.
- Explain catalyst deactivation mechanisms and regeneration.
- Monitor catalyst performance over a run cycle.
- Evaluate catalyst replacement and regeneration timing decisions.
- Identify catalyst-related causes of unit performance decline.
- Support catalyst management planning discussions.

Professional Audience

This course is ideal for experienced process professionals working with catalytic refining units, including:

- Process engineers
- Catalyst and technical services specialists
- Refinery operations personnel
- Technical planning staff
- Maintenance engineers supporting catalytic units
