Petrochemical industry is one of the expanding industries all over the world due its high profit and quick turn over. It needs huge investments to fulfill its requirements which are mainly sophisticated equipment like thermal equipment (boilers, heat exchangers, fired gas heaters…), rotating equipment (pumps, turbines, gas compressors, air blowers……), catalytic chemical reactors and gas reformers. The course presents the major types of these equipment and highlights their recent technological aspects for installation, operation, maintenance & troubleshooting.
The seminar covers how these equipments operate and provides guidelines and rules that must be followed for a successful operation. Their basic design, operating characteristics, specification, selection criteria, installation and commissioning requirements, advanced fault detection techniques, critical components as well as all their maintenance and troubleshooting methods are covered in detail. This seminar also covers advanced maintenance techniques such as “Used Oil Analysis”, and “Vibration Analysis” in detail.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
