Introduction

This course provides a clear and simplified overview of refinery process chemistry, covering how crude oil is transformed into valuable fuels and petrochemical products. Participants will explore crude properties, hydrocarbon behavior, key refining reactions, and major process units. The training emphasizes process flows, operating principles, and product specifications. Practical examples, animations, and real refinery scenarios help participants easily understand complex refining concepts.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:

  • Understand the chemistry, composition, and properties of crude oil.
  • Explain the purpose and operation of major refinery process units.
  • Interpret PFDs and P&IDs used across refinery operations.
  • Analyze the impact of temperature, pressure, and process conditions on unit performance.
  • Evaluate product specifications, refinery reliability issues, and economic implications.
