Course Portfolio

This hands-on, three-day course uses dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to centrifugal gas compressors and their operation in process plants. The practical exercises and workshops will use dynamic simulation models of compression systems running on PCs. They will be easy to use and the participants will require no prior knowledge of dynamic simulation.

This two-day course offers delegates an overview of the design, construction, control and operation of reciprocating compressors. The course describes the principles of operation of the compressor and how the design is adapted to a number of different configurations to meet numerous needs. A fundamental understanding of gas behaviour will be an asset but not mandatory for this course.

This practical two-day gas turbine course offers a comprehensive overview of the operation and control of industrial gas turbines used for both power generation and as drivers for compressors and pumps. The course explains how a turbine works and the different types in common use. How to control and operate turbines efficiently and key troubleshooting techniques and information will also be explained.

An intensive, two-day course where delegates will gain a thorough introduction to the subject of positive displacement oil-injected helical screw compressors. The course is designed to explore many factors in the selection, operation, and control systems of the screw compressor for a particular application.

This three-day course gives a practical introduction to the application of advanced control techniques in the process industries. It is an intensive course which relies heavily on the use of computer simulation software to allow for many practical examples and control strategies to be implemented.

This two-day course uses dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to carbon dioxide, its application, characteristics, and carbon capturing technology. This course also covers the principles of gas compression when CO2 is the process medium, the selection of the correct type of compressor, the design of the compressor, how performance of the compressor is controlled and more.

An intensive, two-day course to provide insight into how to troubleshoot a wide variety of problems that can occur with centrifugal compressors and their gas turbine or electric motor driver. The course will include a series of simulated practical case studies where delegates will be challenged to identify and correct real-life problems using a standard troubleshooting methodology.

This two-day course explores the construction and configuration of the centrifugal compressor in some detail. It is an add-on to our Control & Operation of Centrifugal Compressors training course but is also run as a stand-alone package.

This intensive and interactive three-day centrifugal compressor course is designed to address the operation and control of both fixed and variable speed centrifugal gas compressors and their drivers. Safe and efficient operation of a centrifugal compressor requires an good understanding of the compressor, the driver and their control systems.

This two-day course gives a thorough appreciation of the CCC compressor control system, including practice sessions on tuning and setting up the controllers on a CCC simulator.

This two-day course is designed to teach operations personnel how to effectively troubleshoot problems on process plants. Solving problems quickly and effectively leads to increased productivity and saves money.

This intensive and interactive three-day course is designed to address the operation and control of coal seam gas processing plants.

This two-day course uses dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to carbon dioxide, its application, characteristics, and carbon capturing technology. This course also covers the principles of gas compression when CO2 is the process medium, the selection of the correct type of compressor, the design of the compressor, how performance of the compressor is controlled and more.

This one-day course will better help delegates be able to identify opportunities for increasing plant performance and deliver that performance by the use of good control loop tuning techniques.

This three-day course offers a comprehensive study of distillation technology and provides an introduction to a variety of processes which employ this key unit operation.

This three-day course is aimed to satisfy the need for understanding the technical design and risk areas for a typical crude oil refining plant. The fundamentals of the oil refining process will be explained including the distillation process, hydrocarbon chain length modification processes, gas recovery treatment and sulphur removal processes. A key objective is to stress the safety and environmental risk areas and how those are mitigated with the technical design and strict procedures.

This three-day course has been designed to provide a comprehensive study into the subject of modern floating production systems. The subject matter is presented in a manner to reflect what might be considered a standard project development path and encompasses the areas of technology, engineering, project management and legislation.

This one-day course is intended to give a comprehensive overview of the nature and purpose of a floating production, storage and offtake system, commonly called an FPSO. In the business of offshore oil production, such systems have become very popular over the last 15 years and they are used throughout the world.

The LNG industry has a safety record of which it is justifiably proud. This has been achieved by a recognition that the product can be, if not handled correctly, extremely hazardous. By a combination of good design, high quality engineering, well-practiced procedures and a well trained workforce, the hazards are managed and risks are minimised. In developing the course the need to emphasise the safety aspects has been recognised and is covered to a suitable level.

This practical three-day course aims to satisfy the need for understanding the role LNG plays in the energy market.
