This Petroleum Refining training seminar is a combination of two modules specifically designed to run consecutively. Attendees are given a detailed overview of all major refining processes and are familiarized to the most commonly encountered production planning and scheduling issues in petroleum refineries, how to identify them and resolve them.
Additionally, this GLOMACS training seminar will present a detailed outline of refining process yields optimization, from the crude oil feed to the finished products. Issues of operations scheduling for petroleum refining are discussed in depth and enhanced with planning and scheduling and yield optimization examples..
This Petroleum Refining training seminar is oriented toward the practical aspects of refinery operations as well as the terminology and economics of refining.
Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
Objectives
The key objectives of this comprehensive training seminar are as follows:
Gain an appreciation of production planning and scheduling tools that will be useful for planning of crude and product deliveries
Differentiate and appreciate the similarities and differences between planning and scheduling
Understand the principles of scheduling optimization and promote efficient refining operations, and yield optimization
Learn the skills to crude selection and optimization that result in improved profitability
Develop the skills necessary to apply blending techniques using excel
To familiarize and understand the various refinery types and appreciate how refining complexity impacts refining optimization and refining margins
Comprehend the importance quality giveaways and learn how use practical excel spreadsheets for blending calculations to reduce quality giveaways
Use hands on software that allows professionals in the industry to choose different crude diets to optimize refinery utilization efficiency and profitability
Act as a primer into the industry of Petroleum Refining and familiarize industry professionals with all processes associated with the processing of petroleum into finished products
Equip new engineers into the industry, with the basic tools for understanding the complex nature of Refining and its operations
Training Methodology
This GLOMACS Petroleum Refining training is a hands-on, stimulating learning experience. This seminar will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportive environment.
To ensure the concepts introduced during the seminar are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture style presentations, open discussions, case studies, and short videos. Hands on computer software and simulations will be provided to illustrate the application of planning and scheduling. The case studies provided for group work will be re-enforced with practical exercises and ample opportunities for deliberation and sharing of experiences.
Attendees will have the opportunity to develop personal competencies and build up expert knowledge of crude oil production planning, scheduling and yield optimization in a range of equipment.
