A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Analysers

Analysers are devices that convert a physical or chemical property of a petroleum stream into a measurable electrical signal. Mastering the principles of gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, infrared and flame ionisation analyzers, and understanding their role in quality control, safety and process optimisation is essential for the NUC, NBTE and NCCE exams.
