Every programme we run, with the next confirmed dates and locations.
Professional Strategy Development and Strategic Planning
Establish a clear frame of reference for strategic planning and follow the process end to end. Participants learn to identify the planning issues standing between an organization and a distinctive competitive advantage, using key analytical and conceptual approaches.
Professional Talent Management Strategy
Understand talent management and its role in delivering strategic objectives. Participants learn to build an integrated strategy for attracting, developing and retaining talent, and to design succession planning frameworks around genuinely critical roles.
Professional Transfer Pricing Fundamentals
Understand what transfer pricing is for and the methods used to calculate it. Participants perform the analysis that determines the appropriate method, calculate transfer prices and the resulting profitability, and learn what the supporting documentation must contain.
Hydrotreating & Hydrocracker Process
Understand the reaction chemistry, catalyst systems and process variables behind hydrotreating and hydrocracking. Participants identify the main equipment and learn to control feed quality, hydrogen partial pressure, space velocity and reactor temperature to hold product specifications.
Operations Abnormalities & Plant Upset
Recognise the early indicators that separate a normal process excursion from a developing plant upset. Participants apply a structured method for diagnosing abnormal conditions across reactors, columns, exchangers and utilities, and learn to prioritise operator action under pressure.
H2 Production by Steam Reforming Technology
Follow the steam methane reforming route from feed pre-treatment through to purified hydrogen product. Participants learn reformer furnace, shift converter and PSA operation, how to control steam-to-carbon ratio and outlet temperature, and how to prevent carbon laydown and tube overheating.
Process Reactors: Operation, Troubleshooting, Start-Up & Shutdown
Compare fixed bed, moving bed and fluidised reactors and the duties each suits. Participants operate reactors within their temperature, pressure and space velocity envelope, and diagnose channelling, hot spots, maldistribution and catalyst loss from field and DCS data.
Process Equipment, Application, Design and Operation
Select the right equipment for a given process duty across vessels, exchangers, heaters and pumps. Participants read data sheets, P&IDs and specifications with confidence, understand the design codes and mechanical limits governing safe operation, and monitor performance against design.
Operation and Maintenance of Rotating Equipment
Understand the construction and operating principles of pumps, compressors, turbines and their drivers. Participants read vibration, temperature and lubrication data as indicators of machine health, and apply the alignment, balancing and sealing practices that extend machine life.
Refinery SRU, Tail Gas Treating, Sour Water, Amine Recovery Units
Work through the modified Claus process and the thermal and catalytic stages behind sulphur recovery. Participants learn to run tail gas treating within emission limits, manage sour water stripping and amine circulation, and troubleshoot SRU, amine and sour water systems as one interacting block.
Continuous Catalytic Reformer (CCR)
Understand how reforming reactions set octane, hydrogen and aromatics yield, and how the continuous regeneration loop keeps catalyst active. Participants learn to control reactor temperatures, recycle gas rate and chloride balance, and to carry out safe start-up, regeneration and shutdown.
De-Sulfurization Technology
Compare hydrodesulphurisation routes for naphtha, kerosene, diesel and residue streams. Participants learn how catalyst selection and reactor severity meet ultra-low sulphur limits, how to manage hydrogen supply and recycle purity, and how to correct off-specification sulphur and short catalyst life.
