Public :
  • Engineers and/or technicians. Suppliers or subcontractors of the Oil & Gas processing sector or the refining and chemical industry.

Level :Awareness

Prerequisite :
  • No pre-requisistes are necessary to follow this course.

Course Content

      • This program is made up of 3 modules that can be separately delivered and adapted to the equipment studied (Furnaces - Heat Exchangers - Pumps - Compressors - Dryers or Filters). The duration of this training can thus vary from 4 to 6 days in order to meet your expectations.
  • EXAMPLE OF COURSE CONTENT RELATED TO COMPRESSORS

      • For each unit, the following items are discussed:
      • Role and principle of the process, simplified process flow diagram, role of the compressor in the process.
      • Normal operating conditions and impact of various modifications on the operation of the compressor.
      • Particular operating conditions: shutdown, start-up, regeneration of the catalyst, decoking, etc.
