Petroleum Refining - Complete Guide to Products & Processes
- 4.4
Brief Introduction
Learn the most relevant Petroleum Refining Operations such as Crackers, Reformers, Alkylation for Oil & GasDescription
The main scope of the course is to create strong basis and fundamentals regarding the processes in the Petroleum Refining. We take a look to the Oil&Gas Industry briefly and continue directly with the Refining Process. We then make a focus in each individual unit operation in the refinery.
