On December 13, 2023, IAM students visited Slovnaft as part of the course on Modeling in the Process Industry. As part of the excursion, students attended a lecture on the overall processing of crude oil from delivery up to final products. Students visited the control rooms, where they had the opportunity to see the industrial control screens, the room for DCS (Distributed Control Systems), and APC (Advanced Process Control).
