Petroleum Refining - Complete Guide to Products & Processes

Learn the most relevant Petroleum Refining Operations such as Crackers, Reformers, Alkylation for Oil & Gas

What you'll learn:

• Strong Foundations in the Petroleum Refining Industry, products and its processes
• Oil& Gas Industry
• Market insight (supply/demand) as well as (production/consumption)
• Processes such as: Refining, Fractionation, Atmospheric Distillation, Vacuum Distillation
• Further Processes such as: Hydrotreating (Hydrogenation), Blending, Reforming, Isomerization, Alkylation, etc...
• Several Cracking Processes: Steam Cracking, Fluid Catalytic Cracking
• Treatment of other materials such as Sour Gases via Gas Sweetening and Coking

The main scope of the course is to create strong basis and fundamentals regarding the processes in the Petroleum Refining. We take a look to the Oil&Gas Industry briefly and continue directly with the Refining Process. We then make a focus in each individual unit operation in the refinery.
