Course overview
Petroleum is a highly heavy and viscous compound, thus it could not be used in its original state. Therefore, it is necessary to refine petroleum to get its valuable components. Crude oil is extracted from the earth through the industrial process of petroleum refining, which transforms it into products like liquefied petroleum gas, paraffin, asphalt base, aviation fuel, gasoline, heating oil, and diesel oil, among others. A chemical engineering enthusiast and instructor designed the Petroleum Refining - Complete Guide to Products & Processes online certification, which is offered through Udemy.
Petroleum Refining - Complete Guide to Products & Processes online training is intended to create a strong understanding of the processes in petroleum refining to help the students in chemical engineering, petroleum industry, or petrochemical industry. Petroleum Refining - Complete Guide to Products & Processes online classes incorporate more than 14.5 hours of extensive lessons along with 3 articles and 29 downloadable resources which discuss topics like distillation, cracking process, blending, hydrogenation, and petroleum products like LPG, kerosene, diesel, gasoline, propane, and more.
