Course Description
This 5 day course is designed to provide participants with an up-to-date overview of the start- up and commissioning of Process plants including troubleshooting of the start-up process. It includes the methodology for start-up and commissioning of process plants, which can be used when commissioning a new plant or for modified equipment in an existing facility, or in a turnaround, shutdown or overhaul scenario. It takes the approach that commissioning is a series of checks and counter-checks to confirm every unit in the process plant is fit for purpose and suitable for operation.
Each participant will gain enough skills and will be able to contribute in leadership or operational roles, both with knowledge and skills to ensure such projects are effectively and efficiently managed in a manner consistent with recognised best practices. A spin off benefit will be their ability to coach and impart learning to their peers and subordinates to the mutual benefit of individuals and organisation.
Course Objectives
- Applying start-up operations, start-up progress monitoring and control
- Applying systematic techniques in process plant start-up, commissioning and troubleshooting
- Developing a thorough and better understanding of the commissioning process
