Course Description

Unicracking™ Process (includes Web-Based Training)

Course Overview

This course provides an in-depth review of the UOP Unicracking™ Process. The course covers both theory and practical applications, including a detailed look at the design, monitoring and troubleshooting of hydrocracking units. Through lecture and exercises, participants will gain an understanding of the theory behind hydrocracking as well as the knowledge required for safe and efficient unit operation. Best practices and guidelines for evaluating operating data are also covered.

Participants work with unit flow schemes and equipment, discuss the impact of catalyst selection and process variables on unit performance, review operating procedures and the philosophies behind them, and address metallurgy and corrosion issues specific to hydrocracking units. Case studies illustrate real-life UOP Unicracking unit operating situations and provide practice in troubleshooting.

This course has a Web-Based Training pre-requisite that must be completed by the registrant prior to the commencement of the course. Details on how to access and complete the web-based training will be sent to the registrant’s email address a minimum of 30 days prior to the commencement of the course.

This course is not scheduled, please contact us at here for more information.
