Course RPS500  

Overview

This program provides an extensive 3-day study of the distillation of crude oil in a petroleum refinery. The atmospheric and vacuum pipe stills are used to separate crude into the desired fractions so that appropriate feedstocks will be available for the downstream process units. The course content is designed for class participants who have formal training in engineering or who have hands-on work experience in refineries.  The program is appropriate for technical and operations staff working in refineries or supplier industry personnel providing products and services to refiners.

Topics
