Course Outcomes:
On completion of the course, the students will be able to
- Understand the classification, composition and testing methods of crude petroleum and its products. Learn the mechanism of refining process.
- Understand the insights of primary treatment processes to produce the precursors.
- Study the secondary treatment processes cracking, vis-breaking and coking to produce more petroleum products.
- Appreciate the need of treatment techniques for the removal of sulphur and other impurities from petroleum products.
- Understand the societal impact of petrochemicals and learn their manufacturing processes and Learn the importance of optimization of process parameters for the high yield of petroleum products.
