Design, Selection, Installation & Commissioning of Mechanical Systems
Details
Introduction
Rotating equipment, pressure vessels, aboveground atmospheric storage tanks, and piping systems represent major capital investment in a process plant. Good design and construction is required as these equipment and piping systems are subject to a number of damage mechanisms throughout their service life that could result in serious or even catastrophic failures.
This course is structured to provide the delegates with the appropriate mix of technical fundamentals and practical best practices to maximize their learning.
Objectives
Apply the requirements of the relevant industry standards and practices to the design and construction of rotating equipment, pressure vessels, piping systems, and above ground atmospheric storage tanks into complete systems.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for graduate engineers, operations, maintenance & engineering supervisors, engineers and team leaders to give them a practical understanding of real world situations in a mechanical petrochemical project and construction environment.
