Petroleum refining demystified : Alkylation

Discover the alkylation process used by refiners to convert light hydrocarbons to alkylate, an excellent blending component for gasoline make

This video sample is part of a 2h online course on crude oil refining

This course will help you build a strong understanding of the crude oil refining industry and breaks down for you all the major refining processes into easily digestible concepts.

You will first get a quick overview of petroleum refining to put things into perspective before your journey begins. Then you will discover the different types of crude oils, their composition and the chemical properties of their hydrocarbon components and how refiners separate these molecules using a process called distillation.

You will also learn the major conversion processes used to upgrade petroleum cuts into a better quality blending components for gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil and heavy fuel. These processes include :

Isomerization
Alkylation
Catalytic reformers
Hydrotreaters
Fluid catalytic crackers
Hydrocrackers
Delayed cokers
Asphalts and lubricants are also covered in this course. You will learn how these products are made from crude oil and discover their associated manufacturing processes.
