REFINING PROCESSES AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

Location
London, United Kingdom
Date
From Date: 04-Mar-2024   
To Date: 08-Mar-2024
Duration
5 Days
Language
English
Discipline
PROCESS ENGINEERING
Introduction

The training focuses on the core refining processes of fluid catalytic cracking, alkylation, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming, although all major processes are covered in detail. The speakers will discuss feedstock properties, process chemistry, process variables, operating conditions, unit configuration, and refinery products. The interaction between yields, operating variables, and product variables will also be covered. In addition, the basic economics associated with petroleum refining and the impact of recent environmental regulations will be discussed. These program sessions will be presented by petroleum industry professionals who have extensive experience in all of the major processing areas in petroleum refining.

Objective

Upon completion of this course, participants will have an understanding of 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.
