Introduction

Piping calculations, Control valves, actuators and pumps find extensive use in petrochemical process plants, water circulation systems, cooling and heating systems, and many other applications.

Keeping these equipment and machines running with least troubles and shutdown decreases the downtime of the whole system. Right control unit and machine selection appropriate to the right application, right machine operation and control, effective maintenance programs, reliable monitoring system, and skilled personnel capable of doing the right trouble shooting are essential requirements for prolong machine life. All the above can be achieved via deeper understanding of the process piping ,control valves and pumps construction and tolerances, the limits and constrains on their operation, and the more effective flow controlling methods.

This course will offer the opportunity to learn more about piping flow, control valves, actuators and pumps, their construction, operation, performance curves, control and troubleshooting. During the course participant’s discussion, comments, bringing up their own problems are welcomed and encouraged. Short tests on the course material will be performed to examine the degree of delivering the right and quality of the presented material.

Certificate

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
