Never before has there been so much pressure on the chemical processing sector to do more with less. Current challenges are proving so profound that industry must come together to innovate and survive.

Be part of the discussion and join this live industry webinar sharing expert insight into how the unconventional application of industrial refrigeration can enhance process performance of vacuum distillation in petrochemical refineries.

For the first time ever, Massimo Capra, the renowned refinery and chemical process engineering expert from Aggreko Process Services, will share his 35 years of experience to help engineers overcome the plethora of challenges exacerbated by the 2020 pandemic.

Refinery managers and engineers will learn how to keep their petrochemical plant safe, productive and cost-effective, despite facing turnarounds and aging equipment challenges.

Solutions described include engineered temporary cooling solutions for hire, designed to improve vacuum distillation profitability and allow unit de-bottlenecking, mitigation of deteriorated utilities conditions, and operational support while processing opportunity crudes. This CPD accredited live webinar is aimed at managers and engineers who work within a petrochemical refinery and already have an intermediate knowledge of the associated processes.

Content includes:
• Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU) as part of the refinery backbone
• Crude distillation unit (CDU) and VDU thermal integration
• Scope of the VDU in the refining process
• Vacuum generating equipment
• Benefits of achieving deeper vacuum
• Industrial refrigeration as a tool to improve vacuum
• Opening a new class of projects and temporary revamps with refrigeration for hire
