A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Chemical composition and assay of crude oil

The chemical composition of crude oil determines its refining behaviour, product yields and environmental impact. Mastering assay methods—gravimetric, distillation, and spectroscopic—enables accurate classification of crude types (light, medium, heavy) and informs process design.
