“It is a very well-structured course with detailed and comprehensive course materials for pre-work and course homework during the course to support the learning. The trainer Michelle Lynch draws from a wealth of knowledge and experience to quote from to make the class engaging. I like her personal insight and analysis relating to the bioenergy world and the debate about the plastics sustainability.” BP

Course Summary

The International Petrochemicals Business Technology, Markets and Economics is a VIRTUAL classroom course presented by the petrochemical training expert at Mennta Energy Solutions.

The petrochemical industry centres on the relationships between raw materials, intermediates, end products and applications. Basic to these relationships are chemical reactions, and fundamental to the total business is economics. To be able to work successfully within this complex industry requires a combination of practical experience with an understanding of chemistry, markets and economics. The course offers an organised overview of the industry that is essential for the successful operations within it.

What Will You Learn?

  • Insight into the "broad picture"
  • Understanding of the concepts the industry has evolved
  • Understanding of the economics of the industry
  • The refining-petrochemical interface and the origin of the industry-s seven basic raw materials
  • Understanding of the value chains that flow from the seven basic raw materials
  • Who the major players are and their role in the massive restructuring the industry is undergoing

Who Should Attend?

Class delegates include chemists, engineers commercial, sales and purchasing staff. Also, research and development, marketing and planning personnel, chemical industry administrators who wish to increase their knowledge and experience of the chemical reactions, feedstock, markets, key players, and basic economics of the industry.
