The application of chemical engineering principles to the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries. A refinery survey looks at key unit operations such as atmospheric distillation catalytic cracking, and reforming. Bitumen and heavy oil upgrading are also discussed. Processes for the production of petrochemicals from natural gas constituents are examined. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): CHE 210 and CHE 220.
