Description

“Understanding Refinery Units – A Complete Guide to Modern Refineries” is a thoughtfully structured course that provides an in-depth look into the heart of petroleum refining. From the moment crude oil enters a refinery to the final production of fuels like petrol, diesel, jet fuel, and LPG, this course demystifies each step and explains the critical role of various process units.

The course begins with a foundational overview of what a refinery is, how it functions, and its importance in the global energy sector. It then moves systematically through key refinery units such as Crude Distillation, Hydrodesulfurization (HDS), Catalytic Reforming (CCR), Isomerization, Alkylation, FCC, Delayed Coking, and various treating units like Merox and Amine Gas Treaters.

Each unit is explained in simple terms with supporting visuals and real-world context to help learners understand not just the "what", but also the "why" and "how" of refinery operations. You will understand how different process units are interconnected, how impurities are removed, and how complex hydrocarbon molecules are modified to improve product quality and meet environmental standards.

The course is designed to be practical and industry-relevant, making it valuable for engineers, students, operators, and energy professionals. It also serves as a refresher for experienced personnel who want to reinforce their understanding of modern refinery operations.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with a strong working knowledge of refinery units, their functions, process flow, and significance in overall refining operations. Whether you are aiming to start your career in the oil & gas industry or enhance your current skills, this course lays the right foundation.

Who this course is for:

  • Engineering students (Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum, Energy)
  • Professionals in EPC, O&M, or process engineering
  • Job seekers in the oil & gas or refining sector
  • Trainers and educators in process industries
