I will probably rate a better rating if not for multiple WRONG facts. For example, in (Lect 34) a C2 splitter only splits single and double bonded C2. Not heavier C3+. Same goes with C3 splitter. There's no C4 and heavier there.

And in the FCC part (Lect 46), it's totally WRONG when you say that fresh crude oil goes into the main fractionator of the FCC. The fractionator distillates the cracked product coming from the reactor. I've got hands on experience working with an FCC and I feel that the instructor don't know what he's talking about with the FCC. He's even confused with where the feed goes into an FCC.

Please get your facts right before you create a course.

Great content and easily to follow even though I’m no chemist but I am a Sales Manager and sell special high temp alloy tubes in the furnaces for Ethylene.
