Practical Distillation: Complex Towers
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this course, you will learn about various complex tower configurations and the functions of side draws, side stripper towers, and pumparound circuits. This course also explains how the liquid and vapor traffic change inside a complex tower. You will learn how changes in a single parameter can affect the rest of a complex tower, and how to adjust the tower to meet product specifications.
Target Audience
Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.You Will Learn
