Course Description

Engineering Design Seminar - (6 weeks)

Course Overview

This intensive 30-day 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.

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