PE0115 : Process Plant Performance & Efficiency

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of process plant performance and efficiency. It covers the characterization of catalyst; ideal reactor and their performance; the various thermal and mechanical separation processes; the performance of crystallization, adsorption, chemisorption, and ion exchange; performance of pipelines, pumps, and compressors; the efficiency of off-site utilities such as the electrical energy, cooling water, steam, and refrigeration; and the importance of proper waste disposal and its impact on plant performance and efficiency.
At the completion of the course, participants will be able to employ systematic methodology in measurements and control technology and their major role in plant performance and efficiency; identify the various optimization tools used in process plant performance; determine the refinery and process plant optimization trends; discuss the continuous improvement, benchmarking and best practices for process plant performance and efficiency; carryout troubleshooting procedures and identify the different performance analysis software used in process plant performance in relation to process optimization and performance monitoring.
