CLIENT HOSTED SEMINARS PROCESS ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS (A typical 5-day course outline.) As a consequence of the current scholastic emphasis on computer technology and other advanced subjects, we find that many newer process engineers are not quick to apply chemical engineering fundamentals in practical refinery situations. With the objective of bringing technical service engineers, up-to-speed, faster, we have introduced a five day training seminar which will explain how to use chemical engineering principals in support of process operations. Subjects to be covered are: Day One - Distillation • How Trays Function • Inspecting Tower Internals • What Makes Trays Flood • Damaged Trays • Application of the McCabe-Theil Program • Bubble and Dew Point Calculations & Application   Day Two - Distillation • Calculation of Tray Pressure Drop • Dumping - Effects on Tray Efficiency • Foam Formation - Detection & Cause • Why Trays Weep • Packed Columns Vs. Trayed Towers • Calculating Tower Capacity   Day Three - Heat Transfer • Thermosyphon Reboilers • Heat Transfer Coefficient Calculation • Steam Reboilers • Fired Heaters & Draft • Condensers & Sub Cooling • Radiant & Convective Heat Exchange   Day Four - Hydraulics • Bernoullis Equation - Field Application • Centrifugal Pumps - Theory of Operation • Calculating Required Heads • Surge & Polytropic Head • Centrifugal Compressors - What Causes Surge • Steam Turbines • Vacuum Jets   Day Five - Supporting Refinery Operations • Organizing a Performance Test • Tracking Key Data • Checking Alarms & Trips • Personal Safety • Relating to Shift Operations • Reporting to Management Email Norm Contact Us
