Course Description

The control of processes in today’s oil, gas and chemical industries requires and needs accurate knowledge of process conditions and this, in turn, means the accurate measurement of those conditions. Without any measurement, there can be no control and no information as to the state of the process. A greater understanding of the measuring equipment and the instruments can develop and improve the performance of the operator and this, in turn, will improve plant performance. Better knowledge of how equipment is selected, how it is constructed, how it’s work helps an operator to identify the cause of problems and prevent their recurrence.

Course Objectives

  • Understanding of the principles of operation of a range of sensors and transducers
  • Learning about specification and designing of instrumentation systems for pressure, level, temperature and flow
  • Identifying problems with instrumentation systems
  • Understanding the concepts of Process Control
  • Acquiring the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of a process variable being measured
  • Learning about PID control and developing the ability to ‘tune’ a process control system using PID control
  • Getting knowledge of open and closed loop control and examples
  • Understanding the difference between manual and automatic control
