Introduction

Learn how to operate booster station utilities by understanding the fundamentals of chemical Injection and utilities operation

Utility plants are vital part of oil and gas operation. Plant utility provides necessary and safe support to the process operation, hence understanding the basic operation principle of utility plant are fundamentals to process operation.

This course has been designed to provide training on essential components Basic Utility plant including instrument air system, fuel gas system, chemical injection system fire water system etc.

This course includes to cover principle and operation of various utility plant operational trouble issues and how safe over come to maintain a well-established operation and targeted production targets.

Objective

• Routine and emergency operation of generators
• Routine and emergency operation of fire water pumps
• Emergency operation of spillover
• Monitor of dosage rates
• Learn theory of operation of the following systems:
• Plant air, instrument air and humidryers
• Fuel gas
• Chemical injection/chemical transfer
• fire water
• Principle of chemical injection
• Booster station utilities and power generating systems
• Basic alarm management
• Firefighting systems
• Fuel gas systems
• Flares
• Examples and exercises

Audience

Up on finishing the course candidates are able to through knowledge of the working principle of Plant utility systems including design and construction, operation and maintenance, start up shut down, trouble shooting and optimization techniques.

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.
