Introduction

This 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.

Objective

• 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

Audience

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

Content

Day One: Signals, FDS, Vendors Interaction & P&IDs

• Understanding instrumentation signals
• Understanding process diagrams (including block, flow and where the P&ID fits in)
• Functional Design Specification (FDS) and drawing standards
• Vendor pre-qualification, interaction and quotation request
• Tag numbering and naming conventions
• Reading and creating P&IDs, including assorted P&ID symbology

Day Two: Instrumentation, Electrical and Pneumatic Diagrams, and Designing for Proper Acceptance Testing

• Instrumentation drawings and documents, including:
  • Instrument selection report, instrument specification, data sheets, loop diagrams & schematics, cable schedules, hook-up diagrams, junction box wiring diagrams, cable racking layout, cable routing diagram, instrumentation index, history sheets, I/O lists, panel layout, power distribution, earthing diagrams and philosophy, PLC schematics, trip/alarm schedules, instrumentation detail, etc.
• Electrical schematics (related to instrumentation projects), including:
  • Load lists, main & control circuits, electrical layout, single line diagrams, etc.

• Instrumentation selection and sizing (including equipment for the most common measurements)

Day Four: Intelligent Communication, Valve Sizing, Protection & Material Selection

• Smart devices, HART and Fieldbus considerations for instrumentation plant design
• Digital data communication aspects
• Control valves and actuators, including selection and sizing
• Equipment protection
• Material selection

Day Five: Redundancy, Control Philosophy and Project Management

• Spares philosophy
• Design considerations for future expansion
• Redundancy and loss of power considerations
• Control philosophy, including:
  • Feedback, feed forward, on/off, regulatory, cascade, ratio, advanced control, etc.
• Project management, including:
  • Project life cycles, scope, time, cost and quality management, risk, etc.

Case Studies, Discussions, Exercises, Role plays & Review will be carried out.

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.
