1-day online course Gasoline blending

Participants who have to deal with blending gasoline

This course is specifically intended for staff who have to deal with the blending of gasoline, as well as the purchase, quality control, storage and transshipment and sale of gasoline. Initially, this course is intended as a follow-up to the 4-day (or 2-day online) Oil Products course, but people who have sufficient background in this course can also participate, for example gained through work experience.

Gasoline blending components and the blending process

The gasoline blending components and the blending process are important data for the final production of a suitable automotive gasoline. On this day we will discuss the technical and economic aspects of blending in relation to the international specifications. Thorough knowledge of the gasoline components and the blending process is crucial for a blender. However, due to the complexity of gasoline and its components, an overview of all aspects is necessary.

Knowledge and understanding of the components and additives of automotive gasoline

Gaining knowledge and insight into the components and additives of gasoline from a technical and economic perspective is the starting point for this course. With this knowledge and insights, the participant can make the right decisions about the selection of components and respond to 'quality give-aways', which in turn can help to save costs.
