    Fundamentals of Petroleum Refining 
    The training will cover specific details of each refinery process at a high level due to the short duration of the course. For example, 
    each process unit module will consider the feedstocks, products, chemistry involved, safety consideration, process flow, and major 
    equipment. 
    It  will  start  with  a  foundation  in  crude oil  concepts then review all the major process units, such as distillation, FCC, coking, 
    hydroprocessing, alkylation, and blending.
