Petroleum Refining, Safety, & Environmental Management

Course Summary

This comprehensive course combines key elements from petroleum refining, production planning, scheduling, yield optimisation, loading master responsibilities, operational excellence, chemical spill response, and waste management. It is designed to provide professionals with a holistic understanding of refining processes, safety protocols, environmental management, and operational efficiency.


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Optimise petroleum refining and production processes.
  • Develop robust safety and emergency response plans.
  • Implement best practices for waste management.
  • Enhance operational excellence in petrochemical industries.
  • Master the logistics of oil, LNG, gas, and petrochemical loading and unloading.

This course is intended for 

  • Refinery managers and supervisors
