Course Description

Introduction

With its unique design, this Course N Carry Optimising Energy Use in Oil Refineries training seminar serves as a toolbox that gives attendees insight into a range of energy-related topics, imparts knowledge of best practises, and equips refinery energy managers, process engineers, technical staff, and top management's energy sponsors for their crucial roles. 

Energy efficiency in refineries is a multidisciplinary topic. Process operations, equipment, the utility system, power generation, housekeeping, process control, retrofit design, sophisticated thermodynamic concepts like pinch technology, and efficient management are all involved. All of these disciplines must be included in a comprehensive energy-saving programme that propels a refinery to the forefront of energy efficiency and profitability.

Featured in this Course N Carry training seminar are: 

  • Seminars, workshops, and group projects covering every facet of refinery energy efficiency
  • Case studies from real life that highlight technological fixes and achievable advantages 
  • Transfer of the teacher's vast practical industrial experience 
  • Utilisation of fundamental energy software tools that participants will have access to.
  • Free exchange of ideas regarding real issues in each participant's own business 

Goals

After attending this training seminar on Course N Carry Optimising Energy Use in Oil Refineries, participants will have the skills necessary to implement strategies that will allow them to carry out the following tasks in their refineries: 

  • Evaluate the energy efficiency of each process and the refinery.
  • Determine the room for improvement. 
  • Optimise the steam and power systems in refineries. 
  • Utilise energy-saving strategies to create energy-saving initiatives. 
  • Describe efficient Energy Management practices. 

Training Methodology

To guarantee that the knowledge is understood, comprehended, and retained as much as possible, the presenter will employ a range of tried-and-true learning strategies. Included in this are a training handbook, tutorials, recommended reading for both before and after the seminar, group activities and debates, and, if applicable, problem-solving for the participants' own organisations. 

The interactive Course N Carry Optimising Energy Use in Oil Refineries training seminar will push attendees to consider energy practices from a new and complete perspective.

Developing a full understanding of refinery energy subjects, namely how much, where, why, and at what efficiency the energy is spent, and presenting the actual implementation of energy saving strategies take up a large portion of the training seminar time. 

Throughout the training seminar, simulated examples are utilised to improve knowledge.
