Refining Process Fundamentals
UOP – Refining Process Fundamentals Training Course
OVERVIEW
This course provides a broad overview of the fundamentals of refinery operation and production. Using the refinery schematic, key processes are examined both as individual units and in the context of the refinery as a whole. The course material illustrates how each process works to turn crude into commercially viable products.
COURSE BENEFITS
Course participants will be able to:
- Illustrate how key-units function
- Explain the relationship of units in the refinery
- Discuss on-stream reliability concerns for key-units, especially as they relate to the processes
- Explain temperature and pressure parameters and interpret their effect on unit performance
- Create a flow diagram of each key unit
- Describe the impact of each unit on the refinery’s bottom line
COURSE TOPICS
- Brief History of Refining
- Properties of Crude and Products
Process units covered:
- Crude/Vacuum Distillation
