Refinery TrainingsIntroduction
Refining processes and petroleum products are integral to the global energy industry, encompassing complex techniques to convert crude oil into valuable products. Refineries employ a series of physical and chemical processes such as distillation, cracking, reforming, and treating to separate, purify, and transform crude oil fractions into essential products like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and various petrochemicals. Each refining step aims to enhance product quality, meet regulatory specifications, and optimize efficiency while managing environmental impact. Understanding these processes is crucial for ensuring the reliable supply of fuels and materials essential for modern economies worldwide.
Objective
Upon completion of this course, participants will understand 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 specifications; and the environmental pressures on the oil industry; the results of these pressures on fuel specifications; and the changes demanded of the oil industry.
Audience
This program is designed for those who have refinery-operating experience or who are involved in supporting operations. New refinery engineers, product sales personnel, fuel buyers, oil-traders, those involved in economic assessment of refining operations or financial analysis of sales / refining. In addition, 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 refining operations.
