Petroleum Refining

Refinery organization, refinery feed stocks and products, refinery process operations such as crude and vacuum distillation, cracking and reforming, design distillation column for petroleum fractionation, refining margins and profitability, environmental constraints on refinery products, term project using actual refinery data to be utilized for typical design calculation on the above operations. Prerequisite: CHE 460. CHE Advanced Process Instrumentation Laboratory; 1 cr. Application of Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID) through Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). P&ID diagrams for selected industrially relevant processes are designed, documented, visualized as 2D models, simulated and then illustrated in 3D models. Prerequisites: CHE 270, CHE 442 CHE Materials Engineering Laboratory (0.2); 1 cr. This course covers interdisciplinary materials topics such as ceramics preparation, mechanical testing of materials, corrosion and passivation, thermodynamics and structure of materials, materials characterization, catalyst synthesis, structural transitions and structure-property relationships. Prerequisite: CHE 350.
