This course is specifically intended for staff who are involved in blending residual fuel oil products and marine fuel oils, as well as the purchase, quality control, storage and transshipment and sale of fuel oils. 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.

Fuel oil blending components and the blending process
The blending and blending process of (marine) fuel oil is very important from various points of view, but mainly because of economic and environmental aspects. Recently, the changes in emissions from MARPOL and the EU are known data for blenders of distillate and residual fuel oil marine products. This means that there is a shift towards optimal and economical blending, with the sulphur content as a fact.
Knowledge and understanding of the components of the residual fuel oil
Gaining knowledge and insight into the components of the residual fuel oil and the associated blending aspects are discussed from a technical and economic perspective. With the knowledge and insights obtained, the participant can make the right decisions regarding the selection of components and respond to 'quality give-aways', which in turn can help to save costs.
Course programme
