| This foundational course shows how crude oil is converted by fractional distillation to premium quality gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, lubes, and subsequent chemical / refinery unit feedstocks. The course is excellent for experienced operators who want to understand the "why" as much of the "how" of separation, fractional distillation, and splitting processes. The course introduces operators to basic troubleshooting techniques for the process, equipment, and critical controls. |
