Fuel Quality Monitoring System Fundamentals
Course Description
As refiners and chemical producers worldwide see higher crude oil and feed prices and continued demand for clean transportation fuels and lower production costs, a sound knowledge of fuel product specifications, their analysis, and quality monitoring is essential to understand its effect on engine performances. In addition, the efficient use of laboratory staff and equipment to ensure the optimum processing of crude oil to meet customer fuel product specifications is of prime importance. This BTS training course has been developed to provide an in-depth, yet a practical review of the art and science of "Fuel Quality Monitoring System Fundamentals" in modern refineries. The program’s content is both comprehensive and wide-ranging. A Case Study approach covers some selected crude oil assays, product specifications, sampling methodology, analytical methods and quality monitoring found in refinery facilities will be presented. This BTS training course will highlight: • Fuel quality fundamentals • Fuel production technologies • Gasoline specifications • Jet Fuel specifications • Diesel specifications • Fuel quality monitoring system

Organisational Impact

  • This BTS training course will emphasize fuels chemistry, manufacturing, blending, distribution, handling and troubleshooting techniques that would lead ultimately to improved fuel utilization, optimization, and enhanced organizational economics.
