Language: English TRAINING OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION The program begins with a detailed discussion of crude oil and products, including commercial transactions, which may have a large impact on refinery economics. The presentation then moves into the refinery to explore the effects of crude oil type on refining yields and to examine the interactions between crude oil selection and refinery complexity, Gain practical understanding of how a refinery works and the relationships of process units to the overall refinery. This is followed with a description of refinery process technology. Major refining technologies are described such as crude oil distillation, heavy oil conversion options, hydro treating, and catalytic reforming Understand the economic impacts of process unit operations, as well as regulatory requirements and issues involving products such as seasonal gasoline formulations, and their impact on your work Add to your ability to troubleshoot unit and equipment operation, to identify risks of failure and to analyze the origin of the most common failures and defects. Broaden your knowledge of the design, application, materials of construction, and basic operation of the main pieces of equipment encountered in refineries Enhance your work performance as well as your career advancement potential
Areas in which refinery margins can be improved are examined, beginning with refinery reliability.. Cost reduction issues such as energy conservation and reducing refinery losses are explored. The program wraps up with a session on long term trends in the petroleum industry TRAINING OBJECTIVES Delegates will enhance their abilities to identify and pursue opportunities to continually improve both the economic performance of the refinery as well as to improve plant reliability, integrity and safety. The troubleshooting and analytical skills gained will enhance the competence and productivity of the delegates and enable them to make sound and cost-effective operating and maintenance decisions and make additional value added contributions to their organizations. Delegates will enhance their competencies in the following areas: Enhanced ability to understand the fundamentals of refining processes and technologies Working knowledge of refining equipment design, operation and maintenance Familiarization with industry standards and practices covering design, operation and maintenance of major equipment Basics of refinery economics and scheduling Troubleshooting process units and major equipment Identification and assessment of active degradation mechanisms and the failures they may cause. TRAINING METHODOLOGY A highly interactive combination of lecture and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge and experience transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody finding the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their own questions and to share developing the right answers using their own analysis and experience All attendees receive a course manual as a reference. 30% Lectures 30% Workshops & Work Presentations 20% Case Studies & Practical Exercises 20% Videos & General Discussions
