Refining and Downstream - 2012

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?Graduate engineers, technical staff and supervisors working in the petroleum, petrochemical or refining industries who need to improve their knowledge and understanding of static equipment.

OBJECTIVESTo provide in-depth knowledge of static equipment encountered on petroleum, petrochemical or refinery sites.On completion of the course, participants:• know the technology and basic

operation of static equipment• are able to optimize the operation of

static equipment safely and reliably.

PEDAGOGYAll topics are illustrated by the presentation of components or parts of equipment.Dismounted equipment parts are used as learning aids.Handling the components is complimented with pictures and/or videos that show complete installations.

Equipment - Inspection - Corrosion

ENGLISH: TMA / PET1-E
