Process & Mechanical Engineering Essentials

This training course is split into two modules:

Module I - Process Engineering Essentials

Module II - Mechanical Engineering Essentials

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.

This intensive and combined Process and mechanical engineering essentials training course focuses on the central areas of Process and Mechanical Engineering and guides the delegates in developing both fundamental and practical understandings of key issues. Process engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.

Process and Mechanical engineers are interested in the safe containment, transportation and transformation of solids, liquids and gases. Of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics and fluid flow, reaction engineering, process control and economics. Process and mechanical engineering essentials training course focuses on sound mechanical engineering principles, together with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring and condition evaluation, that enable mechanical engineers to design and maintain the equipment required by process engineers.

This Process & Mechanical Engineering Essentials training course will feature:

• Practical introduction to the fundamentals of process engineering
• Practical introduction to the fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering, Equipment and Materials
• Key areas applicable to major process industries especially oil, gas & petrochemical
• Process and Mechanical Engineering influence on Safety and Risk, Failure Modes and Maintenance
• The links between the two engineering disciplines

The Structure

This comprehensive AZTech training course consists of two modules which can be booked as a 10 Day Training event, or as individual, 5 Day courses.

Module 1 - Process Engineering Essentials: Upstream & Downstream Process Control & Optimisation

Module 2 - Mechanical Engineering Essentials: Rotating & Static Equipment & Structural Integrity

By the end of This Process & Mechanical Engineering Essentials training course, participants will be able to:

• Apply practical understanding of central issues in process & mechanical engineering in oil, gas, petrochemical, chemical, and allied facilities
• Understand fundamental principles used in processes & facilities & apply practical understanding of essential process units & classes of units involved in separations, heat exchange & reactions
• Apply practical understanding to static & rotating mechanical equipment & related condition mentoring & inspection techniques
• Understand mechanical testing methods, Failure Mechanisms & Fitness for Service, NDT & principles of corrosion & corrosion protection
• Perform relevant calculations & analyses to assist in operation, sizing, & troubleshooting of chemical processes & mechanical equipment

This Process & Mechanical Engineering Essentials training 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 and mechanical industries with a need to understand and discuss fundamental process and mechanical engineering:

• Petroleum Engineers
• Maintenance & Production Engineers
• Process Engineers
• R&D Chemists, Plant Chemists
• Economists & Business Managers

This Process & Mechanical Engineering Essentials training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes formal 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.
