Course Description
Growing prosperity worldwide demands six times more fertilizer than required for rice or grain. This all adds up to increased pressure on our agricultural resources as well as on the Fertilizer technology and plant operations.
The Maintenance in Urea Plants for Engineers training will be dedicated for all urea process technologies like Conventional Total Recycle, Stamicarbon, Saipem and TEC urea plants.
Participants will learn the background of the material selection criteria for urea equipment; learn all technical maintenance aspects of static urea equipment and high pressure piping. They will learn what the integrity risks of static urea equipment are and how to avoid these risks and how to limit its consequences. Furthermore, they will learn in detail how to ensure repairs. Many practical cases and numerous troubleshoot and other corrosion / reliability cases will be discussed.
