About the Webinar
Are you working on solving reliability issues or optimizing distillation/fractionator overhead condenser in your Refinery?
Have a look at this webinar and you’ll learn how to:
• Cost-effectively metal up to solve corrosion issue.
• Reduce pressure drop & lower column operating pressure.
• Do low level heat recovery cost effectively & efficiently.
• Reduce cooling water flow by 30-50%
Our Refinery experts will share their global experience on solving these challenges with the help of case stories from Crude Distillation, FCC, Alkylation & other process units.
