        The goalObjective is to introduce students to process concepts of petrochemical processing and petroleum refining. Operating units which commonly present in petrochemical processes are studied: heat echangers, distillation columns, pipelines and pumps.
        The outcomeAfter this course students are familiar with processing concepts of petrochemical industry and petroleum refining. Through this course students should adopt practical knowledge which will enable them to analyse petchemical processes using appropriate calculation procedures.
