Training Overview

Training Overview

In ammonia production facilities, industrial refrigeration systems are essential for maintaining precise temperature control—an important factor in ensuring optimal reaction efficiency and product quality. Ammonia is the refrigerant of choice in such settings due to its exceptional thermodynamic performance and zero ozone depletion potential. However, its hazardous nature, including toxicity and flammability, requires robust engineering solutions, expert handling, and strict adherence to safety protocols.

The Ammonia Refrigeration System – (Specific to Ammonia Plant) training course provides a comprehensive understanding of refrigeration systems designed specifically for ammonia plants. It covers the full refrigeration cycle, fundamental design principles, critical components, instrumentation, and integrated safety systems. In addition, the course addresses regulatory compliance, maintenance strategies, energy optimization, and practical troubleshooting. By the end of the program, participants will be equipped with the technical knowledge and operational skills needed to ensure safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible system performance.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Master the thermodynamics of ammonia refrigeration and how it supports plant processes
  • Understand key components: compressors, evaporators, condensers, controls
  • Implement robust safety measures aligned with industry standards
  • Develop preventive maintenance and troubleshooting skills
  • Optimize energy use and ensure regulatory compliance
