Description
This course will be available On Demand: June 6, 2012?

This 90-minute accredited online training course will present an overview of a modern, integrated petroleum refinery, including the feedstock properties, product slate, and the processes used to convert crude oil and intermediate streams into desirable products. Basic hydrocarbon chemistry, crude oil properties and fuel product quality will be discussed, including changes to products resulting from worldwide environmental legislation.

Some highlights include: Chemistry: physical properties, product quality, process chemistry and impact of environmental legislation. Engineering: overview of the modern integrated petroleum refinery, feedstock/products and current and future processing.
