Basic Understanding of the Correlation between Laboratory Results and Refinery Operation
Course Description
The course covers major components of laboratory techniques and refinery process systems. Its aim is to provide participants with a clear picture of refinery condition assessments by developing an understanding of interpretation methods of laboratory results regarding chemical reactions in all refining processes. The course also discusses the measurement uncertainty method which can be helpful in evaluating analysis results and in understanding lab results’ deviation limits.

The objectives of the course are to provide a theoretical basis and practical information on wastewater treatment, with emphasis on the basic aspects of the design and operating conditions and troubleshooting for waste water treatment plant, The course is designed to provide the participants with complete knowledge about waste water, biological, physical, and chemical treatment.

The course is designed for chemists, technicians and engineers who work in refinery laboratories and operation, process, sections
