PREFACE

The Chemistry Department at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals

(KFUPM), since it was established in 1965 and until today, aimed to excel in research,

teaching and community services. We work hard to graduate quality PhD, MSc and BSc

individuals capable of meeting the economic, industrial and social needs of the Kingdom

of Saudi Arabia. Our faculty members who came from various backgrounds have diverse

research and teaching experience with a very good record of scientific publications and

strong links with international collaborators. Their research experiences cover quality

assurance best practices, petroleum and petrochemical fundamentals and applications,

water disinfection and desalination, environmental protection, etc. Moreover, we in the

Chemistry Department maintain a firm infrastructure of up-to-date facilities run by

enabled technicians and graduate students.

Part of our strategy is to communicate chemical knowledge and experience in handling a

diverse set of techniques and equipment. We mainly target industry people of chemical

and petrochemical companies in the Kingdom. You will find in this brochure a collection

of short courses that the department plans to offer during this academic year (2017). We

believe that they should be of interest and great benefits to those working in industry as

well as in other governmental sectors. We can also customize special short courses based

on specific needs or requirements.

We will be pleased to have you joining one or more of our short courses. For any further

information or any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at

[email protected]. We are looking forward to meeting you in KFUPM

Best wishes,

Catalysis in Petroleum & Petrochemical Industries:

Principles and Applications


Catalysts are largely used in many chemical, petrochemicals and

petroleum industries. Despite the fact that more than 90% of

production processes in industry are catalyzed, most chemists and

engineers are lacking the knowledge about the method of

functioning of these catalysts. The nature of catalytic

components, such as supports, active materials and promoters

should be understood from the perspective of process

applications. Engineers and scientists should be aware on the role

of modern instrumental methods for the characterization of

catalyst including the physical and chemical properties, especially

techniques for measurement of surface areas, pore properties,

crystallite sizes, acidities, and others.
