Five stars to the course and the instructor. —Muk-Apa Mukdahong,Thai Oil Company Limited

Although this course gives an overview of offsite operations, I was interested more in Fuels Blending Technology and hands-on exercises to solve Fuels Blending problems. However, I understand from the instructor that he offers two more training courses in the series to teach blending and Linear programming. I would definitely check them out. —Ongyos Udomrak,IRPC Public Company Limited

Upon completion of the course, I felt good to have learned what is offsite operations really about as in our refinery this area of operations is not focused enough despite the fact that it affects the bottom-line. Great course, indeed. – Smith Edward , Silver Eagle Refinery —Smith Edward,Silver Eagle Refinery

My favorite topics were the “journey of octane thru refinery lanes” and fuels blending. The lab exercise to solve a small refinery problem was excellent to demonstrate the use of LP. I wish the course would have more lab exercises of the kind. —Snezana Ristic,Ministry of Mining and Energy, Serbia

I was transferred to offsite operations from onsite and I had very little clue about offsite as such. This course gave me an excellent overview of technology and operational aspects with right blend of details. I would recommend this training course to be included in the training plan for offsite operators and engineers by every refinery. —Thupthanachote Kiticunanon,The Bangchak Petroleum Co. Ltd

The discussion of our refinery fuels blending problem at the end was very helpful to us and gave us directions to move towards. Thank you very much, Dr. Agrawal —BP Oil,India

The discussion of case studies of refinery’s progress to migrate from manual blending control to fully automate system was very interesting as it showed the problems, challenges and solutions at every step of upgrade. Excellent course material and the expertise of the instructor —,Singapore Refining Company

I liked that the course started with general concepts and continue to details giving space to change the amounts of details/time dedicated to topics relating to audience. The material of the course was excellent. This seminar provide the refiners an in-depth look at the blending and how to save company money. —Mohammad Al-Buftain,KPC

The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and very interactive with the class participants. —Alan Hugo,Valero

I wish you would offer this excellent course in India as we have 15 refineries and they all focus on onsite and ignore offsite operations which is you showed affect the refinery’s bottom-line. —Kothapalli Srinivas,Numaligarh Refinery, India

The course was very interesting as I could relate the refining and auto industry problems and challenges in terms of fuel quality specifications and ways to meet them economically. —Jay Cummings,GM

The concept of Blender header design was very innovative as it was developed and taught by the instructor. It took the notion out that blend header is just a piece of pipe. It has many design considerations, important to success of blending system, thank to Dr. Agrawal. He deserved a standing ovation. —Mike Redd,Silver Eagle Refining

The octane quiz was very interesting as it cleared many of my misconceptions about the octane. I would give 5 start to this course and the instructor, Dr. Agrawal —William Baustista,IST Corporation

I have not attended any training course before which is so methodical, exceptional, rich in topics and presented excellently. I learned a lot about fuels blending in this course, thanks to the instructor —Sergio Carvajal,IST corporation

Feedback from Phillips66 engineers from 13 refineries on one day training courses on "Blend Optimization" conducted by our academy Director.
“Good addition to “F2F”. Thanks”
“Course contained a lot of foundation/basic information relative to my experience level. Seems to be a good course for people with less experience.”
“I liked how the challenges of blending were discussed and importance of understanding models and importance of blend header.”
“Overall, very useful course”
