CH3001 Petroleum Chemistry and Refining Fundamentals Syllabus:
CH3001 Petroleum Chemistry and Refining Fundamentals Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE
The course is aimed
1) To enable the students to learn the fundamental and methodologies in the petroleum refining processes.
2) To enable students to examine how each refinery process works
3) To enable students to express the objectives of petroleum refining and classify the processes used in petroleum refining
4) To enable students learn how physical and chemical principles are applied to achieve the objectives of each refinery process
