Objetivos

This course presents an introduction to petroleum chemistry: Composition of crude oil, physicochemical characteristics, methods of characterization. It also aims to introduce different analytical methods for obtaining qualitative and quantitative information about the composition and structure of the materials. Students should acquire knowledge which will give them the ability to understand the physicalchemical principles of the analytical methods. Identify qualitative and quantitative capabilities of the methods. Select the most appropriate method in the context of the oil industry.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

In this curricular unit, the student should acquire the following skills: Knowledge of the features and types of oil Know and apply different methods of characterization of substance Apply techniques to the characterization of petroleum and petrochemical products. The contents of this programmatic UC are designed to provide the proper training for acquiring the proposed skills.

- The presence on online and/or presence courses is not mandatory.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Final Classification = 33,3 % x Test 1 + 33,3% x Test 2 + 33,3 % x Test 3

or:

Final Classification = 100% x Exam

- The tests will be carried out preferably in presence, when possible. When not possible, the tests will be carried out online using the Moodle Platform.

- If necessary, in order to avoid and correct fraud situations, an oral test can be carried out to validate the classification of the students (above 18/20). This rule is applied to all Tests and Exams.
