Oil Refining from Crude Oil to Petroleum Products
Oil Refining from Crude Oil to Petroleum Products
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will have an understanding of the overall process operation of an integrated petroleum refinery and the extensive vocabulary unique to this industry , Participants will also have gained knowledge of crude oil properties and fuel product tests , global warming and the environmental pressures on the oil industry , the results of these pressures on fuel specifications and the changes demanded of the oil industry .
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This introductory program is designed for those who have limited refinery‐operating experience or who are involved in supporting operations. Individuals relatively new to the refining industry , product sales personnel , fuel buyers , oil traders , those involved in economic assessment of refining operations or financial analysis of sales / refining and personnel concerned with the sale of equipment , chemicals , supplies , or services to the refining industry should benefit from this course , Experienced operating personnel and engineering staff should find a great deal of beneficial information , particularly if they have worked in only one area of the refinery and have the need to gain an overview of the entire refinery .
