Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. The abnormal process situations cost the processing industry billions of dollars a year. 40% of this lost is directly attributable to human errors, with the failure to properly troubleshoot the condition being the leading contributor. The operations team is the first line of defense against process upsets and equipment problems. Failure to identify and resolve these situations quickly can lead to lost production, off-spec product, equipment loss, and even catastrophic accidents. Therefore, the ability to troubleshoot process operations is one of the most valuable skills operations personnel can possess. However, in order to troubleshoot the process or equipment, you have to understand the theory laying behind such process and equipment. This is what this course all about. The course is designed to provide participants with the proper application, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the various types of process equipment such as compressors, pumps, motors, turbines, turbo-expanders, gears, heat exchangers, piping systems, distillation columns, reboilers, pressure vessels and valves.The course will feature a unique blend of practical application experience and basic analysis methods. Its aim is to convey a thorough understanding of equipment operating principles and troubleshooting techniques. The course covers the various process control and instrumentation methods such as pressure measurement, level measurement, temperature measurement, flow measurement, basic principles of control systems, P&ID, wiring schematics & diagrams, control valves and process considerations. It will equip participants with the basic tools and techniques for troubleshooting real-world problems. The use of the troubleshooting methodology defined in this course can greatly improve the ability of the operations team to troubleshoot effectively. With an improved understanding of troubleshooting principles, you will be better equipped to react to process upsets in order to prevent downtime and/or accidents.
