Gain valuable knowledge from these industry experts

Every year, industrial plants pay millions of dollars for commercial laboratories to perform analysis on used and new oil samples. Unfortunately, most of the plant personnel who receive these lab reports do not have the knowledge to get the full value of these reports. Anyone who wants to mine oil analysis data to make better maintenance, reliability, or engineering decisions can benefit from this course.
