Fractionation Operations
A two-day simulator-based bootcamp that lets early-career engineers experience the same process dynamics and upsets that plant operators deal with. Each trainee runs their own generic heat exchanger, flash drum and fractionation simulators. The course builds practical understanding of operating points, trend analysis and structured troubleshooting.
