| Course Objectives | To familiarize students with petrochemical processes to describe existing and innovative emerging technologies for the production of synthesis gas, olefins, aromatics and their derivatives including industrial polyolefins and polyesters. To apply fundamental chemical engineering knowledge to industrial processes, such as steam reforming, steam cracking and catalytic reforming etc. The course makes close references to TUPRAŞ and PETKIM Petrochemicals Co. operations as well as to mega-size applications in the Middle East Region. Depending on the interests of the participants, emphasis can be shifted to either (i) detailed chemistry and technology or (ii) engineering and design (including technology assesment and economic evaluation) of petrochemical processes including downstreaming. |
