An online intensive professional development training course on
Process Equipment
with Piping Systems
Design, Operation and Maintenance
Online Training Course Overview
In all steps of operation of process equipment applied in petrochemical, process and oil and gas industries the process safety and reliability in operation come on the top of the list of all considerations. This must be accompanied with inspection and maintenance management. This training course is designed to provide practical aspects of mechanical design and safe operation of pressure vessels, storage tanks, thermal equipment, piping systems and fluid transport machinery, such as pumps and compressors.
This AZTech online training course will present the performance of these components under various operating conditions. Explained will be the processes of material degradation such as corrosion, erosion, fatigue and others that may lead to component failure. Failure prevention methods will also be discussed and explained. Several examples and real-life case studies will be included in the workshops. They will demonstrate the application of Fitness for Service (FFS) assessment method that enables quantitative evaluation of the remaining life in service of any component of equipment being affected by degradation of material by corrosion or any other mechanisms.
Online Training Course Objectives
By the end of this AZTech online training course, you will be able to:
- Understand the safe design and operation of pressurized process equipment
- Follow the procedure for inspection and testing of process equipment
- Apply the fundamental concepts and strategies to prevent failures
- Use the best practices of FFS to estimate the remaining life of operating equipment
- Select the methods of repair and alteration of pressurized process equipment
