Petroleum Refinery Training, Advanced Technology Training
The advanced petroleum refining training course covers the technology apsects you need to know about refineries from the properties and composition of crude oil to the core refining processes including atmospheric and vacuum crude oil distillation, hydrotreating, catalytic reforming, FCC, alkylation, hydrocracking, delayed coking, amine treating and sulfur recovery and gasoline/diesel blending.
The advanced petroleum refining training course is designed to make up for the shortage of qualified engineers, technicians, and operators in the petroleum industry. This course also helps you, as a technical member of the petroleum industry, to update and polish your knowledge about the refining processes. Also, if you are an expert in one particular part of the refinery but you have lost track on other processes and areas in which you have not been involved much, the advanced petroleum refining technology training course can help you gain thorough information about all the processes and units of the refinery. Such training will definitely help you accomplish better results in your unit when you know how other units (before and after) work.
Audience
The advanced petroleum refining technology training is a 2-day course is designed for those individuals who have the basic knowledge about petroleum industry. Therefore, if you have no background in this area, we recommend you first take our Fundamentals of Petroleum Refining For Non-Petroleum Engineers training course.
The advanced petroleum refining technology training course is ideal for the engineers, technicians, scientists, and operators who are already involved in the industry yet need to know more about the core refining processes to enhance their existing knowledge.
