Take full advantage of the opportunity to attend one of the most beneficial training courses, presently being run. Coventry Academy is proud to announce a 5-day training course entitled, "Design Criteria in Instrumentation Engineering" jam packed with all you need to know, with respect to instrumentation design specific for the oil and gas industries. The control of a plant determines the efficiency of that plant. Therefore, the design of the instrumentation equipment used in the plant (used for measurement and control) is absolutely vital. This would be both from an operational as well as a safety point of view.
This Design Criteria in Instrumentation Engineering training course focuses on getting the plant instrumentation component selection and integration just right. It progresses from selection, documentation, classification, and right through to final project management. At all times, it is actively presented, to fit in with the working environment of the delegates.
This training course will feature:
Crucial instrumentation design documentation (including data sheets, schedules, P&IDs, etc.)
Control philosophy, with respect to selected instrumentation
Equipment and instrumentation tagging philosophy
Hazardous area classification and appropriate certification
Instrumentation and final control element (valve) selection and sizing
Project management
What are the goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
Assist in crucial decisions for instrument design and selection
Interpret drawing and diagrams related to newly designed instrumentation
Have a full understanding of the various process control strategies and how to implement them
Implement hazardous area zones, and select appropriate instrumentation and equipment for them
Manage a project appropriately, from design to handover
Who is this training course for?
It is irrelevant whether delegate instrumentation design knowledge and experience ranges from novice to advanced. The workshop starts from basic principles, and builds up, with the emphasis on delegate participation. Instructor guidance is delivered on a personal level, and delegates are encouraged to ask as many questions as necessary.
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
Instrumentation, electrical, mechanical, process and other engineers, specialists and staff
Management
Design teams
Budgeting and financial staff
Team leaders, supervisors and foremen
How will this training course be presented?
This training course starts off from basics and works its way through to the final management of the project. None-the-less, it is presented in such a way that all delegates (regardless of background) feel comfortable from the very beginning. No-one is left behind, and the instructor takes pride in guiding all delegates along the way, with personal assistance, where required.
Delegates are encouraged to keep an open mind and to immerse themselves in all exercises and discussions, to ensure that maximum learning takes place. Preference will always be given to applications and examples that tie up with the working environment encountered by the delegates. At least 50% of the course is made up of demonstrations/discussions/simulations/exercises.
