A highly interactive training course on
Plant Piping
Training course overview
Compared with other forms of transport, pipelines allow a more continuous, stable, and high-capacity supply of hydrocarbons to reach end-users. Pipeline transportation has the advantages of being well established, efficient, cost-effective, and readily expandable. The products carried in liquid pipelines include a wide range of materials. Process fluid systems gather production from onshore and offshore fields, while transmission lines transport them to terminals, interconnection points, and refineries.
This Plant Piping training course will combine the various disciplines of pipeline engineering, including design, structural integrity, hydraulic considerations, maintenance as well as the applications of relevant cones such as ASME B31.3 and API 570. The delegates will be introduced to main points of inspection and testing according to relevant ASME and API standards in this. The Plant Piping training course will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences.
This Coventry Academy training course will feature:
- Main aspects of pipeline design and manufacturing considerations
- Knowledge of the governing principles, related to pipeline hydraulics and sizing
- Relevant structural integrity and corrosion principles
- Main types of pipeline failure and mitigation techniques
- Introduction to relevant ASME and API codes
- Relevant pipe maintenance techniques
What are the goals?
By the end of this Coventry Academy training course, participants will be able to:
- Develop deep understanding & familiarity basic principles of pipeline design for various industrial applications.
- Be familiar with the practical aspects of structural integrity, related to pipeline operation
- Have a knowledge of the various types structural and corrosion failure in relation to process pipes
- Have an understanding of aspects of pipe maintenance practises
- Have the necessary knowledge of relevant piping codes, such as ASME and API
- Use & follow the guidelines & best industrial practices related to the design and operation of pipelines
Who is this training course for?
This Coventry Academy training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Process, chemical and mechanical engineers working in petrochemical and process industry, including oil refineries and gas production companies where operation and maintenance of pipelines are high importance
- Operation, technical service and maintenance professionals from various processing plants involved in everyday operation, control, inspection and maintenance of pipelines
- Engineers and consultants dealing with planning of new production lines and retrofitting plants and introducing new technologies
- Technical professionals responsible for maintenance and repair of equipment
How will this training course be presented?
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples included in several workshops. The emphasis in the course will be on the explanation of all technical phenomena and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday industrial practice related to installation, operation and maintenance, as well as repair and alterations of pipeline systems.
Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples. Computer simulations and videos will be used to illustrate the main aspects of the course. Delegates will receive electronic versions of the course material together with relevant computer simulations and videos. There will be ample opportunities for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify the gained knowledge.
