The course acquaints students with the production of basic large volume petrochemicals, i.e. chemicals produced from oil and natural gas. Production of ethylene, propylene, buta-1,3-diene, benzene, toluene, xylenes, hydrogen, synthesis gas and alkanes is explained. The production of the chemicals is followed by elucidation of production and utilization of the most important products manufactured from these chemicals. If it's significant, the production of these chemicals from other raw materials is also mentioned. Emphasis is placed on chemical and technological understanding of the taught technologies.
