Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Final Control Elements, Valves & Actuators. It covers the final control elements (FCEs) and the importance in maintaining process variables; the classification of final control elements and control valves as FCEs; the valve types and configurations, valve flow characteristics and valve sizing and selection; the actuators as FCE drivers, pneumatic actuators, electric and electro-hydraulic actuators; the hydraulic actuators including working principle, high-force applications, system components, fluid considerations, maintenance requirements and safety measures; and the valve positioners and controllers and its role in improving accuracy.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the final control element response and dynamics, smart final control elements; the control strategies with FCEs, specialty valves as FCEs and FCE performance testing and standards; the final control elements in safety systems and troubleshooting FCEs, valves and actuators; the mechanical installation of valves and actuators and pneumatic and electrical hook-up; the commissioning of final control elements and routine maintenance of valves and actuators; the valve and actuator overhauling procedures and FCE lifecycle management and reliability; the applications of final control elements by industry; and the energy efficiency and sustainability of FCEs.
