calculated and the trends in refining and product demand. This course also covers crude

oil and product specifications.

Who should attend?

This Class will directed to new refinery engineer and supervisors as well as operations

staff non-technical staff who wish to learn more about blinding skills

Training Methodology:

The programme will be conducted in a facilitative style with a combination of lecture,

practical experience in the use of techniques, case studies and a high level of lively debate

and sharing of ideas. Delegates will be encouraged to introduce problems of their own for

discussion and analysis. Copies of all lecture materials, case studies and workbooks will
