About
This course is designed to acquaint users with the problems and solutions for high accuracy transfer of liquid and gas petroleum products from supplier to customer. These needs have been brought about by major changes in manufacturing processes and because of several dramatic circumstantial changes such as: the increase in the cost of fuel and raw materials; the need to minimize pollution; and the increasing pressures being brought to bear to adhere to the requirements for health and safety.
