The main elements of a laboratory method and refinery process system are covered in the course. It provides insight into how to interpret laboratory results related to chemical reactions in the entire refining process, allowing for the formation of a clear refinery condition assessment. In order to assess the analysis results and comprehend the lab results deviation limit, the course also covers the uncertainty of the measurement method.

Course Objectives:

After completion of the course the participants will be able to:

Provide a broader understanding of laboratory analysis and techniques applied
Provide a good knowledge of the chemical reaction in the refinery process
Provide a good grasp of the techniques used for interpreting the laboratory results
Provide an understanding of the evaluation method to diagnose the condition of the refinery

Who Should Attend?
