Course Summary

Hydrocarbon loss reduction management in oil refineries and petrochemical plant involves the identification and quantification of losses and the institution of measures for their control based on environmental, financial and regulatory considerations. In addition, hydrocarbon accounting at refineries and petrochemical plant is a complex subject owing to a combination of factors and the hydrocarbon loss reduction is faced with several problems as well.

This 5-day intensive Refining & Petrochemical training course on Hydrocarbon Loss Reduction will identify how to get to the core of this issues using thorough analysis of the circumstances that contribute to reducing hydrocarbon loss in refineries and petrochemical plant and ultimately results in maximization of their profitability. Participants will learn how to apply several practical, systematic methods for reducing hydrocarbon loss in refineries and petrochemical plants. Understanding of these techniques will be reinforced by exercises.

This GLOMACS training course provides both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills highlighting:

  • Elements and Measuring HC Loss
  • Managing HC Loss
  • What a Good HC Loss Management Program Looks Like
  • Impacts and Benefits
