Process Reactor Operation Troubleshooting Start-up and Shutdown

The reactors play a capital role in many factory process operations. Basically a reaction is an apparatus or structure in which fissile material can be made to undergo a controlled, self-sustaining nuclear reaction.

About this Course

The reactors play a capital role in many factory process operations. Basically a reaction is an apparatus or structure in which fissile material can be made to undergo a controlled, self-sustaining nuclear reaction with the consequent release of energy. This course focuses on the essential knowledge for process plants. Specific areas that will be covered in the course are, the basic parts of a reactor, reactor operation, reactor types, auxiliary equipment combined with reactors, and the operator’s function in reactor operations.

Course Objective

Describe the chemical reactions, processes of the variables and temperature of the process reactors.
Analyse the reaction mechanism involved in process reactors
