Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Over the past decade, the refining industry has taken incredible steps to reduce sulfur levels in transportation fuels. Refiners have invested billions of dollars in new units, upgrades, retrofits and expansions to meet new sulfur and emissions regulations. These investments promote the reduction of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter in both diesel and gasoline vehicles. New technologies are moving the refining industry toward a low-sulfur world. New regulations and fuel standards are acting as catalysts for additional clean fuels projects to develop higher quality transportation fuels. Around the world, legislations mandating decreased emissions and lower levels of airborne pollutants is coming into effect. In response, refiners are implementing operational and processing changes to reduce sulfur levels in transportation fuels. New technologies are moving the downstream hydrocarbon processing industry toward cleaner, lower-sulfur transportation fuels. Refiners around the world are working hard to meet new sulfur and emissions regulations, specifically the USA EPA Teir3, Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 specifications.
