Description	The module covers some of the main unit operations of crude oil refineries, from crude oil to gasoline. It involves pre-treatment, crude distillation, catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, hydroprocessing, hydrotreating. Calculation work involves crude distillation products, mass and energy balances on catalytic cracking and mass balance of reforming. It focuses on the engineering aspects that offer comprehensive applications to the chemical engineering process principles that they learnt during the First and Second Years.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Be familiar with the composition and assessment methods of crude oil as a refinery feedstock Be familiar with the main products of a typical oil refinery and their uses Have a good grasp of the main unit operations in a typical oil refinery process Be able to make informed decisions on the suitable refinery process for most process streams
