Crude to Chemicals Technologies Short Course

İstanbul, Türkiye September 22-26, 2025
The short course overviews the processing objectives, process configurations offered by licensors and technology developers, various types of crude oils and their compositions, and economics. The fundamental and practical aspects of refining and petrochemical technologies (hydrotreating, hydrocracking, deep hydrogenation, fluid catalytic cracking, residue processing options, steam cracking, selective hydrogenation, aromatics recovery, reverse isomerization) used in each configuration will be reviewed to give full understanding of chemical production.
