2. OVERVIEW
Businesses in emerging economies operate in rapidly
evolving markets and there are tremendous opportunities
for growth. These are frontier markets where knowledge,
efficiency and flexibility are at a premium, however, to
excel; businesses must be committed to customers in
delivering high-quality fuel safely, across the supply chain to
minimize the risk of contamination. Nonetheless, quality
issues have to also be controlled by building capacity along
the process chain. This programme focuses quality control
mechanism, the rationale for product performance and
ultimately the bottom-line. It emphasizes practical
applications, and industry standardised role of quality
control and test methods, while highlighting past and
current challenges hindering clean product delivery.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the completion of the training programme, participants
will
 Learn how gasoline and compositional variables
affect engine performance
 interpret test data to determine if gasoline meets
required specifications and regulations
 be able to use octane blending equations and
calculate volatility parameters
 understand how quality is maintained throughout
the distribution system
 Gain the understanding of the inter-connection of
petroleum products and the impacts of quality
requirements on refinery production and product
availability.
PERFORMANCE FOCUS
Our programmes are significant investment for your
workforce. They are designed to fill identified industry
knowledge gap and provide hands-on applicable know-how
that give participants a deeper insight on their deliverables.
The various modules are cultured to encourage
stakeholders to aspire the attainment of operational
efficiency along the business chain.
