The foundation of any good refinery model is the assay. Unit O allows you to blend different crude oils to see how they interact. This is vital for refineries that switch feedstocks based on market prices. You can predict the yield of each cut (Light Naphtha, Heavy Naphtha, etc.) before the crude even hits the furnace.

Used for converting heavy feedstocks into lighter, higher-value products like gasoline and propylene. The foundation of any good refinery model is the assay
While the exact day-to-day agenda can vary by training provider, the course is consistently built around a core set of topics. The "Agenda" typically begins with an , covering key industrial workflows and the capabilities of specialized refining reactors like FCC units. Participants then engage with Petroleum Assay Management , learning to characterize crude oil assays, manage over 50 key petroleum properties (e.g., sulfur content, octane number), and blend or cut assays using unit operations like the Petroleum Feeder. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to modeling primary separation units, such as building an Atmospheric Crude Column with side strippers and pump-arounds. From there, the curriculum advances to configuring, calibrating, and simulating key Refinery Reactors , including the FCC unit, Catalytic Reformer, and Hydrocracker. Finally, the course covers critical Optimization and Troubleshooting techniques, using tools like case studies and the Aspen HYSYS Optimizer to evaluate performance, improve convergence, and solve simulation problems.
