This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Utilities Equipment: Steam Generator, Water Treatment and Storage Tanks. It covers the utility systems in refining and the principles of steam generation, water chemistry and treatment fundamentals; the storage tanks used in the refining industry including types, design and application; the safety and environmental considerations in the operation and maintenance of utility equipment; and the relevant regulatory and standards governing utility equipment.
Further, the course will also discuss the design, features, operation principles and efficiency factors of steam generators; the boiler water treatment techniques, steam distribution systems and routine and preventive maintenance strategies; troubleshooting common operational issues in steam generators; the sources and quality of water for refining and the pre-treatment processes; and the desalination and demineralization techniques, wastewater treatment and reuse.
During this interactive course, participants will learn to monitor and control water treatment processes; the environmental impact and sustainability practices of water used in refining; the design and types of storage tanks and proper inspection and maintenance techniques; the technologies and practices for controlling emissions and recovering vapors from storage tanks; managing tank farms including safety, inventory and operations; the emergency preparedness and spill response and strategies for improving energy efficiency in steam generators, water treatment and storage tanks; integrating new technologies and developing and implementing safety management systems specific to utilities operations; and the regulatory updates, compliance trends, sustainability and environmental management.
