Description
A process plant is predominantly made up of piping and other mechanical equipment. Growing up and working in a multi-discipline environment requires basic understanding of the plant piping and equipment. Engineers and Technicians, including new Mechanical Engineering graduates who work either in the design office or a process plant and who, although qualified in their own discipline, may not have received adequate Mechanical Engineering training, can open the door to understand many concepts of mechanical design. To be effective, Engineers, Technicians and personnel of all disciplines should have a fundamental understanding of the principles that dictate the requirement of plant design by the Construction Code. This course is designed to give an insight to the plant piping with reference to Code ASME B31.3 –Process Piping and an overall concept of major mechanical equipment used in a typical process plant.

This 3 days course is designed to meet the needs of Engineers, Technicians and personnel of all disciplines (Quality, Safety and Process/Production) from Design, Construction and Owner Companies

Objective

Provide a basic understanding and knowledge of process piping and equipment typically required by any process plant
Provide an awareness of the codes and regulations that governs the design and operation of a plant
To deal with a process facility by a non-mechanical Engineer in charge.

Who Should Attend
Industrial and commercial plant and facilities engineers and operators, project engineers, design engineers, Quality and Safety personnel who are involved in the design, construction and operation of a process plant. Professionals who need to add to their current experience and knowledge of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers who require practical knowledge of certain aspects of mechanical engineering or who need to refresh their knowledge. New graduates will benefit from the practical industrial experience of the instructor.

After Attending This Course You Will Be Able To

Understand codes and standards governing the construction of a Process Plant
Gain insight of mechanical equipment and piping used in a process plant
Learn to deal with mechanical piping and equipment if you are in charge.
