Course Overview

This intensive nine week program gives participants the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of refining process design. Each topic is presented in the context of the design of a refinery process unit or the selection of a specific type of refinery equipment. Seminar sessions are led by UOP process design and equipment design specialists who demonstrate how to apply engineering principles to solve design problems.

An I-Pad is provided to each student for storing course materials and is classified as course materials.

This class is typically conducted one time a year and begins second or third quarter of the year.

All prices are net of taxes.

Cost with/without SA (In-person): $43800 / $51500 USD

Cost with/without SA (Virtual): $43800 / $51500 USD
