OE416 - Plant Commissioning and Start-up (6 - 10 September 2015, Dubai)

Oil and Gas Engineering

Course Description

The initial start-up of any plant, irrespective of size, type, or in-dustry, is a unique occurrence. Therefore, start-up poses some special problems. Lack of experience in dealing with these prob-lems has frequently resulted in prolonged and costly startups. An organization’s personnel must familiarize themselves with new equipment, processes and technologies; develop the relevant operating and safety procedures. This programme addresses in an integrated manner the key activities involved in the safe, effective and timely commissioning and start-up of a new plant or facility and how to plan for efficient operation.Troubleshooting performed during the actual start-up can be very expensive and must be done as effectively as possible. Ef-fective troubleshooting can minimize the time and cost of going from the initial start-up to full production. The last day will pro-vide a review of techniques and discussion of numerous exam-ples to develop skills in troubleshooting. Participant interaction is welcome, to take full advantage of the range of viewpoints and experience and to examine typical startup problems, both technical and manpower related, and their solutions. The faculty has extensive start-up experience in a wide range of processing units including material handling, mineral processes, chemical, petrochemical, and refining operations, and will be available to discuss individual start-up problems.

Course Objectives

Who Should Attend?This course is designed for project managers, plant managers, plant supervisors, technical staff, and contractor personnel in-volved in project execution and plant start-up in any process industry. The greatest benefit arises from the application of these start-up oriented ideas throughout a project, beginning at the conceptual phase. The practical techniques and examples provide useful insights that are valuable at any stage of project execution and preparation for start-up.
