Refinery Process Yield Optimisation
Details :
This
Refinery Process Yield Optimisation training course will present a detailed
overview of refining process yields, from the crude oil feed to the finished
products. It is targeted at personnel directly involved in refining utilization
and optimization, including but not limited to refining technologists and
operations personnel as well as non-technical personnel interested in these
processes or involved in refinery planning.
All the major refining
processes are explored and examined with a view of understanding and
appreciating how each unit relates to each other whilst at the same time, how
these relationships can enhance refinery operations.
Major refining processes
are presented and discussed, including feedstock, feedstock preparation,
operating conditions, catalysts, product properties and refinery yields.
Refining economics will be included as means to optimizing refining operations
and profitability.
The Refining &
Petrochemicals training course is oriented toward the practical aspects of
refinery operations and yield optimization and includes the terminology used in
the industry.
- To
familiarize and understand the various refinery types and appreciate how
refining complexity impacts refining optimization and refining margins.
