Process Plant Start-up, Troubleshooting & Commissioning
5 days · English or French · Canada or Dubai
This course provides guidance for the necessary preparation required to achieve a successful plant start-up. Start-up oriented thinking at all stages of the project from engineering to commissioning is the first step in proper preparation. It defines and illustrates the vital role of project management and plant personnel. Unanticipated events during start-up, along with inherently hazardous conditions require extra preparation effort to avoid safety incidents. Participant interaction is welcome and is the best means to take advantage of the range of viewpoints and experience. The faculty has extensive start-up experience in a wide range of processing units including chemical, petrochemical, and refining operations, including material handling, mineral processing and catalyst production. Individual situations may be discussed as time allows
Typical audience
Process, production, technical, maintenance and operations personnel
