Introduction

Ref No:       PE144
Title:           CLEAN FUEL TECHNOLOGY AND STANDARDS 
Start Date: 22 April 2024 End Date: 26 April 2024
Venue:        Dubai, UAE
Fee:             $5,500

As refiners and chemical producers worldwide see higher crude oil and feed prices and continued demand for clean transportation fuels and lower production costs, a sound knowledge of clean fuel technology, specifications, standards, analysis, and quality monitoring is essential to understand its effect on engine performances as well as the emissions impact on environment.

This course has been developed to provide an in-depth, yet a practical review of the art and  science of "Clean Fuel Technology and Standards" in modern refineries. The program’s content  is both comprehensive and wide-ranging. The course will emphasize clean fuels chemistry,  manufacturing technologies, blending, handling and troubleshooting techniques that would  lead ultimately to improved fuel utilization, optimization, and enhanced organizational  economics. The course also will guide the participates to develop key concepts and techniques for the refining of petroleum processes and clean fuel manufacturing economics. These key concepts can be utilized to make operating decisions that can improve the overall refinery performance and economics.

The course provides both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills highlighting:

  • Fuel quality fundamentals
  • Fuel production technologies
  • Euro 5 and Euro 6 fuel specifications
  • Gasoline specifications
  • Jet Fuel specifications
  • Diesel specifications
  • Fuel quality monitoring system
Objective

By the end of this course, participants will learn to:

  • Describe clean fuels chemistry, manufacturing technologies, and standards.
  • Compare testing parameters for gasoline, jet fuel, and road diesel.
  • Explain how fuel properties influence engine performance.
  • Explain ultra low sulfur diesel properties and their impact on fuel performance.
  • Troubleshoot quality problems and contamination of fuels.
  • Discuss fuel quality monitoring system.
  • Increase fuel efficiency keeping safety as a prime consideration
  • Improve On-Time performance while reducing operational expenses
  • Conduct a "Fuel Efficiency" audit of your organization
  • Develop Fuel Efficiency Program Evaluation tools
Audience

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  •  Operation Engineers
  •  Process Engineers
  •  Senior Operation Personnel
  •  Operation Staff
  • Technical Supervisory Staff
  • Plant Engineers
  • Fuel quality specialists
