Training Overview

Training Overview

The layout diagrams are essential for maintaining and modifying the process they visually represent. During the design phase, these diagrams serve as the foundation for developing system control strategies, such as Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP). For processing facilities, they provide a graphical representation of key piping and instrumentation details, control and shutdown systems, safety measures, regulatory requirements, and essential startup and operational information.

Facility drawings are valuable tools for planning maintenance, assessing risks, and organizing modifications. By reviewing the diagrams, staff can plan valve placements and other maintenance work in advance. With proper planning and diagram use, the company can effectively handle emergencies by establishing a clear, safe action plan. This Layout of Piping Systems and Process Equipment training course will equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of process plant equipment and piping systems.

This training course will feature:

  • Process facilities equipment
  • Piping connection to process equipment (tanks, vessels, pumps, compressors)
  • Pipe, Piping components and joints
  • The importance of P&ID and PFD
  • Piping standard

What are the goals?

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

  • Layout setup and design requirements of piping systems
  • Perform / Read Process plant design and layout design
  • Layout planning and procedures
  • Identify Process equipment - sizing and design methodologies and considerations
  • Recognize Equipment piping layout considerations and best practice

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Pipelines lay out designers
  • Piping Engineers and Fabricators
  • Process engineer and supervisor
  • Project Engineers
  • Operation & maintenance engineers and supervisors

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.  This includes formal lectures with interactive examples and discussion using the piping layout principles and requirements. The presentation will also include several illustrative and instructive drawings. The emphasis in This The Layout of Piping Systems and Process Equipment training course will be on the explanation of all technical points and providing answers to problems that are encountered in everyday piping layout or the way joint to process equipment.  One of the powerful tools in attending This The Layout of Piping Systems and Process Equipment training course is having an active discussion and sharing of professional experiences which will help solidify the gained knowledge.
