Sales Personnel Description
This 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. Material and energy balances of the various processes will be discussed along with their impact on the overall operability and economic performance of the refinery. Each refining process will be presented, covering equipment, operating conditions, feedstock, catalyst, yields, and the relationship between process parameters, unit performance and product output and properties. Additionally, future operations, including anticipated changes in crude oil and product slates will be discussed.
