The course covers major components of a laboratory technique and refinery process system. It presents an understanding of interpreting methods of the laboratory results regarding the chemical reaction in the all refining process so that a clear picture of the refinery condition assessment is formed. The course discusses also the measurement method uncertainty which can help to evaluate the analysis results and to understand the lab results deviation limit.

After completion of the course the participants will be able to:

  • Provide a broader understanding of laboratory analysis and techniques applied
  • Provide a good knowledge of the chemical reaction in the refinery process
  • Provide a good grasp of the techniques used for interpreting the laboratory results
  • Provide an understanding of the evaluation method to diagnose the condition of the refinery
