Petroleum Refinery Engineering

Petroleum Refinery Engineering provides a simple understanding of how crude oil is processed and converted into useful petroleum products. The course explains the basic working of a petroleum refinery and its major processing units. Participants learn about crude oil properties and different types of refinery feedstocks. It covers important processes such as distillation, cracking, reforming, hydrotreating, and blending. The course introduces the operation of major refinery equipment such as columns, furnaces, heat exchangers, pumps, and compressors. Participants also learn how different refinery units work together to produce fuels and other valuable products. Basic concepts of process control, safety, and environmental protection are included. The course helps participants understand refinery operations from crude oil receipt to finished product storage. Practical examples are used to make the technical concepts easy to understand. It is useful for engineers, technicians, operators, and professionals working in the petroleum and refining industry.
