Course Description

Engineering Design Seminar, Illinois, USA

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.

All prices are net of taxes.

This course is not scheduled, please contact us at here for more information.

Who Should Attend

The course is designed for refinery or petrochemical plant technical staff who meet the following minimum requirements:
-Two years of experience in the refining or petrochemical industries
-A level of competency commensurate with an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering
-English language fluency (speaking and writing)

The Course Duration is (in Days): 40.0
