Process Plant Optimization Technology and Continual Improvement

Introduction

This course will feature the importance and relevance of the constant need to monitor and adjust Process Plant operation to maintain the optimum mode that produces the most efficient results, consistent with safe and reliable operation. Plant integrity and reliability is the cornerstone of process plant optimization. For optimization benefits to be sustainable, production interruptions must be kept to a minimum which requires effective management of degradation processes that affect equipment and systems and effective inspection and maintenance strategies, plans, and methods. Plant optimization can be an effective way to achieve improved profitability without the large investment associated with building a new plant.

Objectives

    By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

    • Recognize and understand what plant optimization and energy conservation is
    • Apply the business focus and equip them to make sustainable plant profitability
    • Appraise the most attractive opportunities to identify energy savings
    • Describe the managerial tools needed to effectively optimize plant operations

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.

Who Should Attend?

This course will benefit all levels of personnel in a process plant environment. It will enable them to understand the design considerations, construction details, and operational parameters associated with process heat exchangers.
