      The goalObjective is to introduce students to oil refining technology, key refinery processes i ctalytic processes in modern referies. Also, students are taught basic knowledge within heterogeneous catalysis and its application in petrochemistry.
      The outcomeAfter this course students are familiar with processing concepts of oil refining, key refinery processes, catalytic processes and basic aspects of heterogeneous catalysis.
