IE0755 : CCC Compressor Control

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 CCC Compressor Control. It covers the types of turbomachinery, compressor types and configurations and compressor performance fundamentals; the mechanical components, instrumentation basics and control systems; the surge phenomenon and risks, anti-surge control and anti-surge control loop design; the CCC anti-surge controller, anti-surge valves and hardware and testing and commissioning; the compressor performance control concepts and capacity control methods; and the CCC performance control features covering performance control modules, constraint control logic, efficiency optimization tools and operator tuning capabilities.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the energy efficiency optimization, advanced control strategies and troubleshooting performance issues; the principles of load sharing, CCC load sharing systems and multi-compressor control challenges; the control integration with plant systems, diagnostics and monitoring and preventive maintenance for CCC systems; troubleshooting control systems and valve and actuator maintenance; the compressor protection systems, emergency shutdown systems (ESD) and overspeed protection; and the vibration and temperature trips and safety compliance requirements.
