Course: Process Safety Management for the Biofuel Industry Biofuels
Course description: In 2009, the United States embarked on an era focused on alternate sources of energy. Biofuels are a key part of this quest. The term “biofuel” implies production of energy from naturally available biological entities. This course covers production of “petroleum-like” fuel from sources such as corn and other vegetation. Over the past few decades it has been proven without doubt that biofuels form a viable source of energy.
At the present time hundreds of facilities world-wide are producing biofuels. Over the next few decades many advances will be made in this field and hundreds of new facilities will be built for production of this type of fuel. This opens a new field for potential workers. For decades to come, biofuels will be produced and consumed in the United States – creating an ongoing demand for biofuel production workers.
As a biofuel production operator, your job will be to ensure the quality and purity of the biofuel your plant produces. This involves inspecting and repairing equipment, operating computer systems, and handling lab equipment.
This online course will ensure you have the skills you need to handle these tasks.
