This two days short course presents an overview of the petroleum refining and processing industry including the feedstock properties, product slate and the processes used to convert crude oil and intermediate streams into desirable products. The basics of hydrocarbon properties and products quality will be discussed. Each processing unit will be explained including the equipment description and selection basics, operating conditions, process parameters, catalyst, utilities, feedstock and products quality.

Special Features
The course will cover the processing and refining industry by its units. It will go into the details of the units’ equipment selection and operating conditions and parameters. The participants will be able to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of different processing units in the petroleum refining, properties of the feedstock and products, products qualities and yields, and to perform basic calculations and evaluations based on the units and their equipment.
