Safety in Process Equipment Design & Operation

This Safety in Process Equipment Design & Operation training course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive examples, which will result in the active participation of all delegates in discussions and teamwork. Real life examples will be selected to illustrate the efficient operation and potential technical failures as well as their root causes. The emphasis will be on troubleshooting the problems and maintaining plant safety. There will be ample opportunities for active, open discussion and sharing professional experiences on various safety issues. All training course materials will be provided.

At the end of this Safety in Process Equipment Design & Operation training course, the participants will be able to:

• Understanding different aspects of process design that influence process safety
• Appreciate “inherently safer design” for the entire process plant operation
• Evaluate mechanical integrity of process equipment
• Identify hazards associated with process fluids regarding impact on material degradation
• Follow code requirements for sizing relief valves to handle relief streams
• Operate Emergency De-Pressuring Systems (EDP) in case of fire and gas explosions

This Safety in Process Equipment Design & Operation training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Operation, Technical Service and Maintenance Professionals
• Technical Professionals responsible for maintenance and repair of equipment
• Professionals involved in inspection and maintenance and repair
• Project Engineers and HSE Professionals
• Technical Professionals dealing with risk assessment and integrity analysis

Organisational Impact

On completion of this Safety in Process Equipment Design & Operation training course, the delegate will be able to critically analyse the safety methodologies employed within the organisation and instigate improvements where required.

The knowledge gained in this Safety in Process Equipment Design & Operation training course will:

• Enable the delegate to optimise the operation of various components of equipment while maintaining safety of the plant
• Give the delegate confidence to carry out risk minimization analyses on process equipment thereby avoiding failures
• Enable measures to enhance equipment status for the given operating conditions
• Give better handling of pressure relief system
• Enable better specification of new and replacement of old elements of piping system
• Allow tighter control of maintenance budgets by the avoidance of unplanned equipment failures in service

Personal Impact

• Improved confidence when considering safety issues
• Better understanding of how the process design impacts safety of the plant
• Better grasp of maintenance and instrumentation on incident prevention
• Improved personal knowledge of risk and hazard analysis
• Better ability to troubleshoot difficult and hazardous situations
• Confidence and ability to select the appropriate depressuring plan thereby improving reliability and personal profile to senior management
