Distillation Training for Process Operators
Vapor and liquid behavior and how a distillation column is operated.
Why it matters on the unit
Distillation is the most common separation process in refining and petrochemicals. Operating a column well means balancing heat, pressure and reflux to hit product targets.
This module builds on the Columns module and moves from how the equipment works to how operators run it.
What Module 15 covers
- Vapor and liquid behavior
- How a distillation column is operated
How the module is built
