The petrochemical industry addresses the technical, operational, and engineering fundamentals that underpin the transformation of raw materials into essential compounds for multiple industries. This sector integrates the petrochemical industry and petrochemical processes that encompass cracking, reforming, polymerization, raw material conversion, and the production of chemical intermediates.
Petrochemical plants operate under high requirements for reliability, thermal efficiency, corrosion control, and regulatory compliance due to the reactive and complex nature of the processes. Their impact is global: they supply value chains such as energy, manufacturing, packaging, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and advanced materials in the US, Latin America, and Europe.
Topics covered
- Petrochemical processes: cracking, reforming, alkylation, and polymerization
- Material selection, corrosion, and mitigation technologies
- Chemical plant operation and reliability
- Regulatory compliance, process safety, and risk control
- Feedstock conversion and efficiency in critical units
- Thermal systems, reactors, compressors, and rotating equipment
