The
Process Engineering Essentials training course is well-matched to those
professionals and practitioners who require familiarity not only with chemical
engineering principles, but also with many of the other engineering disciplines
including mechanical, electrical and instrumentation. This is essential since
Process Engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and
petrochemical industries. Process Engineers are interested in the
transportation and transformation of solids, liquids and gases. In the oil and
gas sector, of specific importance are separation processes including
distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics and fluid flow, reaction engineering,
but also process control and economics. This training course focuses on the
central areas of process engineering and guides the delegates in developing
both fundamental and practical understandings of key issues.
This course will feature:
A practical introduction to the
fundamentals of process engineering
Key areas applicable to major
process industries especially oil, gas & petrochemical
Process Engineering influence on
Safety and Risk
Optimisation of process design and
control.
Costs and project costing
Training Objectives
What
are the Goals?
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Understand fundamental principles
used in processes and facilities
Apply practical understanding of
hydraulics and fluid flow
Apply learning from historical
safety incidents
Perform relevant calculations
& analyses to assist in operation, sizing, & troubleshooting
Develop perspective & focus
from a company viewpoint of interaction of different engineering
disciplines
Target Audience
Who is
this Training Course for?
This course is suitable
to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit Technical and
non-technical personnel in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and process
industries with a need to understand and discuss fundamental process
engineering issues:
Plant/Operations Personnel and
Managers
Petroleum Engineers
Production Engineers
Trainee Process Engineers
R&D Chemists, Plant Chemists
Economists and Business Managers
Training Methods
How
will this Training Course be Presented?
This course will utilise a variety of proven adult
learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and
retention of the information presented.This includesformal
lectures and discussions, active participation through the use of
problem-solving exercises, videos, group discussions, analysis of real-life
case studies, and industry best practices. Case studies and examples will cover
a range of levels, making the course also suitable non-technical staff.
