Chemical Process and Refining Technology

Chemical Process and Refining Technology Training Course offers a structured and practical exploration of the chemical engineering principles that drive modern refinery operations. As global energy markets evolve and refining margins tighten, professionals must understand how crude oil is transformed into valuable fuels such as diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. This training course explains the essential processes involved in distillation, cracking, reforming, and hydroprocessing, while emphasising the operational requirements that govern efficiency, product quality, and compliance.

In this Chemical Process and Refining Technology Training, participants examine the scientific reactions and technological pathways used to convert crude fractions into market-ready products. The course highlights how advanced processing technologies are integrated to maximise yield, meet environmental expectations, and support energy-efficient refinery operations. Special attention is given to process optimisation, catalyst utilisation, and the refining-petrochemical interface, enabling participants to appreciate the interconnected nature of refinery systems.

The Chemical Process and Refining Technology Course also addresses today’s environmental and safety challenges. Participants gain insight into how refineries work to reduce emissions, improve hydrogen management, lower carbon intensity, and implement sustainable operational practices. By combining theoretical understanding with practical insights, the course develops the essential competencies needed to contribute effectively to high-performance refining environments.

This Chemical Process and Refining Technology Training aims to equip professionals with a comprehensive understanding of refining processes, emerging technologies, and integrated operational strategies.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Build a clear understanding of key chemical processes used across modern refineries.
