COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using the “MS Excel” applications. 

This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of refinery and petroleum products quality specifications, blending, mixing, optimization, operational planning, quality control and profitability. It covers the general and organic chemistry and physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons and petroleum cuts; the petroleum and main non-energy products including the different refinery process technologies; the chemical used in refinery processes; and the product blending, troubleshooting refinery operations and practical problems. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the importance of measurement in refinery mass balance and the density measurement require to convert volume to mass; the movement’s qualities and tolerances and the list of frequent movements; the refinery optimization, operations planning, equipment optimization and process optimization; the process operations and the concepts of refinery operational; the planning objectives, planning tools, key crude and product qualities as well as crude and product pricing; and the practical refinery modeling, performance measures and rules of thumb for process engineers.
