Learning Outcomes

The ‘Improving refinery profit margins’ course focuses upon the manner in which refinery profit margins may be maximised.

It is intended to assist analysts, engineers and marketers to understand the inter-relationships between the numerous factors which may be manipulated to maximise refinery profitability given the economic constraints acting upon the refinery and the physical constraints of the refinery facilities themselves. To this end an examination of crude oil and refined product quality is essential, together with the more important refinery processes.
