Why take this course?
This crude-distillation course introduces the purpose and main sections of a CDU, its atmospheric-distillation process flow and the role of the VDU. It gives equipment, inspection, maintenance and integrity roles a starting point needed for later corrosion work. This self-paced online course includes video lectures and a completion certificate with PDH credits.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you...
• understand the purpose and main sections of a crude distillation unit
• can describe the main process flow through atmospheric distillation
• understand the purpose of the vacuum distillation unit and its relationship to the CDU
