Course Overview

This course will provide the basic knowledge required for understanding processes and operating issues in crude oil processing facilities.

It is designed to improve the technical communication between operators and engineers as we develop an in-depth understanding of process operations.

Course Objective

In this course wewill present an overview of the integrated oil refinery. Each refining process will be presented, covering operating description and conditions, feedstock and catalyst selection, product yields, and the relationship between process parameters, unit performance and product output and properties.

Finally, future operations, including anticipated changes in crude oil and product slates, will be recapped.

Who Should Attend?

The course is designed for plant operators, maintainers, Supervisors and other non-engineering personnel.
