Course Description

Power plant and other petrochemical industries do deal with different types of valves. All piping systems are fitted with valves for controlling purposes or safety requirements. Understanding the function of each valve type will have an important reflection on the process quality, equipment and plant reliability along with the economics of the whole activity. Different application needs to select the appropriate valve type of a particular flow characteristic. Operation with the valve also affects the system and the process. Understanding the problems associated with valves is essential for diagnosis and troubleshooting and the needed maintenance of the particular type of valves. 

Course Objectives

  • Understanding of different parameters affecting the operation of valves
  • Being able to select the right valve for the particular application
  • Being able to perform the necessary calculation for valve sizing
  • Understanding the problems associated with valves like flashing, slamming and water hammer
  • Being able to perform troubleshooting of systems involving valves
  • Being able to decide on the right maintenance plan concerning different types of valves
