Monitor Distillation Column Operation to Predict and Prevent Failures

Process industries around the world are losing billions of dollars due to unplanned downtime and off-spec production.
Distillation column failures are one of the most common causes for these issues.
In this course, students will learn to predict and prevent column failures like flooding to avoid situations like process
unit shutdown.

Audience:

Process Engineers, Plant Operators and Data Analysts who would like to monitor column operation in real time and
predict column related failures.
