Training Overview

Training Overview

The Process Utility Systems training course will highlight the significance and relevance of process utilities in modern industrial operations. It will familiarize participants with best practices for selecting, operating, and maintaining equipment used in process utilities. The course will also demonstrate how these utility systems are effectively integrated into oil and gas facilities. Additionally, it will cover key practical aspects that engineers and operators need to manage their basic utilities, including equipment maintenance and troubleshooting.

The material presented will help participants understand globally recognized guidelines and practices related to efficiency improvement, optimization, and safety considerations. Several hands-on workshops with real-world examples will be conducted, allowing participants to collaborate as a team to solve problems. These workshops will reinforce the concepts discussed and provide valuable experience in applying them.

This Process Utility Systems training course will feature:

  • Knowledge for selection of different process plant utilities: steam, water, compressed air, refrigerants, inert gas, fuels, electricity and others
  • Types of equipment used to run process plant with different utilities
