Chemical Reactions and Reactors: Operator Training
How reactions work, the role of catalysts, and common reactor types.
Why it matters on the unit
Reactors are where the product is made. Temperature, pressure and feed rate all change how a reaction behaves, and some reactions can run away if conditions drift.
Operators who understand reactions and catalysts can run reactors closer to target and recognize the signs of trouble.
What Module 13 covers
- How reactions work
- The role of catalysts
- Common reactor types
How the module is built
- Graphic-driven
- Visual-first material, for better comprehension and recall than text-heavy manuals.
- Assessments
- Each module includes questions to confirm learners understand the content.
- Instructor guide
- A step-by-step road map for delivering the module, with activities and knowledge and skill checks.
- Built by experts
- Developed by PeopleCore trainers, former operators and engineers.
- Flexible delivery
- Self-study, classroom with your instructor, or facilitated by PeopleCore, virtually or on site.
Where it fits in the course
Module 13 is part of the chemistry and separation group of Basic Operator Training: what happens inside the reactors and columns. Also in this group: Basic Chemistry, Columns, Distillation Fundamentals.
