Introduction

This course has been designed to provide training on essential components of a control system used in Oil and Gas plants. Process variable monitoring and control is a very critical activity and a proper understanding of process control will help in ensuring better quality &safe operation of process plants.

Objective

By the end of the course, participants who are almost all operators, Panel operators and shift supervisors in production operations,  should become able to:

• Explain various process variables, unit of measurements
• Understand the concept of process control basics
• Study various pneumatic and electronic instruments in process control
• Understand measuring device, transmitters, controllers and final control elements.
• Discuss the difference between pneumatic control system and electronic control system,
• Understand the concept of PLC, SCADA and DCS and its application in Process control
• Explain process safe guards, ESD system and process safety integrity.

Audience

Gas Plant field Operators, Oil station Operators, Control Room Operators, Production / process Supervisors, Gas Process Engineers, Instrument Technician, Supervisor and Process Control Engineers.

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.
