This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Design General Specification. It covers the concept, importance and application of design general specifications; the regulatory framework and standards; the safety and environmental considerations and guidelines for material selection in different parts of the refinery, considering operational, environmental and safety factors; the basic principles of process design, including flow diagrams, mass and heat balances and system integration; and the piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID), equipment design and specifications, instrumentation.
Further, the course will also discuss the control systems and electrical systems design; the civil and structural engineering, corrosion and materials engineering and utility systems design; the waste management and environmental systems; the design and specification for offsite facilities, including storage, loading/unloading facilities and tank farms; integrating renewable energy sources into refinery operations; the reliability and maintenance engineering; and the specifications for fire protection, safety systems and emergency response measures.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the project planning and scheduling, cost estimation, budgeting and quality assurance and control; the contract management, risk management and designing for sustainability, including energy efficiency, resource conservation and sustainable materials selection; the emerging technologies in refining, digitalization and smart refinery concepts; and the innovation in material science and modular design and construction
