Process Optimization (Pipeline Technical Services) Training

Introduction

Process Plant Optimization plays a very important role in today’s industrial world. For optimization benefits to be substantial, the cost of production including operation interruptions must be kept to a minimum. This requires effective management of maintenance operations and optimization of equipment and plant reliability and availability. This also involves effective inspection and maintenance strategies, planning methods. Plant optimization can be an effective way to achieve improved profitability

An important aspect of process plant optimization is related to system energy management and energy consumption reduction. Industrial processes and systems offer significant potentials for savings. Process changes such as advanced controls and new technologies also present opportunities for plant optimization.

This Process Plant Optimization Technology and Continual Improvement training course will provide a comprehensive review of the various aspects of process plant integrity as the essential foundation for sustainable plant profitability and optimization.

Objectives

    To avail the background knowledge for engineers and technicians who are concerned with design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, inspection and repair of pipelines. This covers design, material, configurations, dimensions, stresses, and internal flow, inspection & repair aspects. We are also able to offer a wide range of training courses relevant to oil and gas system optimization, chemical application, environmental, health and safety issues.  The following is a summary of the training courses offered by our Technical Service.

    • To assist participants in understanding the main elements of plant optimization the way how to achieve and realize potential benefits
    • To enhance the business focus of participants and equip them to make more contributions to sustainable plant profitability
    • To equip maintenance professionals, planners and engineers with the knowledge to select the most appropriate methodologies for their maintenance decision-making
    • To learn how to identify the potential for reduction of energy consumption
    • To provide participants with practical and effective methods and tools to perform technical and economic evaluations of the alternatives

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.

Who Should Attend?

Piping staff (Designers, manufacturers, process, inspectors and repairers).
