Recent Trends in Petroleum Refining Introduction:

The activities of the Petroleum Refining Division of EPRI cover all the refining processes. These refining processes can be carried out by physical, chemical refining and catalysis departments. Upon successful completion of programs and degrees, the specialist will learn Solvent refining processes (Deasphalting, liquid-liquid extraction, dewaxing and deoiling). The specialist learns evaluations of commercial and synthesized catalysts used in all the petroleum refining processes. Who should attend?

Chemical and refining engineers Chemists Specialists

Topics: Physicochemical properties of

catalysts Testing the catalytic activity of the

catalysts using model compounds and some of petroleum fractions

Mathematical modeling and optimization of catalytic reactions

Recent trends in the cleaning of diesel fuels via desulfurization process

Clean fuel evaluation by using different instruments Lecturers:

Lecturers of the course are scientists in Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute. They work as consultants for Egyptian Petroleum companies in the field of catalytic refining catalysts. They have more than 150 articles published in international journals. They teach course in Egyptian university.
