In the refining & petrochemical industry, it could be used as feed for units such as the HPU (hydrogen production plant) and/or to be fed to steam cracker to produce derivatives (derivatives are main components to produce Plastics).

Benzene

Benzene is an important organic chemical compound with the chemical formula C6H6. Its molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. Because its molecules contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon. It is mainly used as a precursor to heavy chemicals, such as ethylbenzene and cumene.

Paraxylene

Is petrochemical component in which used for later processes to produce fibers, films or to produce a polymer such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET).

This will enable the students to learn the refinery's operations which constitute the core of the training process. Based on their results during this stage, successful candidates are directed to operations, maintenance, the laboratory, or security.

    Included in this intensive training, the trainees may be assigned to Saudi Aramco and other selected refineries in order to better familiarize them with best practices in the refining industry. During this period, candidates are trained in new areas of knowledge that will qualify them to assume their future responsibilities. Some of the trainees are assigned to international refining facilities in which either parent company has a stake in order to continue their training in the latest refining processes. At the end of this preparatory stage, the trainees then return to Jubail to commence the operation stage coinciding with the completion of the construction of the SATORP facility.
