TECNOLOGIE CHIMICHE PER L'INDUSTRIA E LABORATORIO

The course aims to offer the basic knowledge of the integrated petroleum industrial process, deepening the analytical aspects of quality control of oil and waters products with targeted laboratory experiences.

The course is structured through theoretical lessons in the classroom, experiences of chemical analysis in the laboratory and study visits in Crude Oil Refinery

If the teaching is given in mixed or remote mode, they can be

introduced the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated, in order to comply

the planned program and reported in the syllabus.

Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.
