During my internship, I gained a basic understanding of petroleum refinery processes and their technical aspects. Key areas of focus included:Distillation Processes: Understanding the separation of crude oil into various fractions based on boiling points through atmospheric and vacuum distillation.Catalytic Cracking: Learning about the process of breaking down larger hydrocarbon molecules into lighter, more valuable products such as gasoline and olefins using catalysts.Hydrotreating… Show more During my internship, I gained a basic understanding of petroleum refinery processes and their technical aspects.
