ABOUT THE COURSE
The course presents a comprehensive and detailed overview of specification standards for fuels, emission standards, quality control and certification of products procedures, the impact of ultra-low sulphur fuels production, test methods differences and how to approach a dispute in fuels’ quality. Additionally, the course gives an overview of the key quality parameters of gasoline and diesel fuel with corresponding test methods and how to locate and solve quality issues. Case studies are used to illustrate the relative importance of each aspect of the fuel quality management process.
