Introduction
This Introductory course presents an overview of the inspection, Maintenance and operation of heat exchangers, with emphasis on gas plant process operations. The overall process flow sheets will be used to illustrate how the various type of exchangers are integrated to the many types of the plants that process natural gas . The advantages, limitations, and range of applicability of each type of exchanger will be discussed so that its selection and integration into the overall plant is fully understood appreciated. The maintenance and operation of these exchangers will also be discussed.
Objectives
Upon completing this course, you will have an overview of the inspection, maintenance and operations of heat exchangers used in the gas processing industry. You will also understand the factors affecting the performance and operation of these exchangers. You will also learn the basic vocabulary unique to the industry.
Training Methodology
The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”.
Who Should Attend?
Those directly involved in gas processing operations will find the course particularly relevant. However the course is specifically designed to be of substantial benefit to both technical and non-technical personnel employed in the activities that support the industry. Managers, engineers, marketing staff, and manufacture’s representatives, as well as individuals involved in sales and services to the natural gas industry will receive considerable benefit from the broad overview.
