Certificate in Fundamentals of Process Plant Layout and Piping Design

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Course Overview

Process plants, such as refineries and petrochemical plants, are complex facilities consisting of equipment, piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics,computers, and control systems. The design, engineering and construction of process plants involves a multidisciplinary team effort. Plant layout and design of pipingsystems constitutes a major part of the design and engineering effort. The goal is to design safe and dependable processing facilities in a cost effective manner. Thefact is that there are very few formal training programs that focus on design and engineering of process plants and piping systems. Therefore, most of the requiredskills are acquired while on the job, reducing productivity and efficiency.

The objective of this course is to provide the delegates the basic knowledge and skills in this discipline to facilitate faster learning curves while on the job. This coursewill cover the fundamental principles and concepts used in process plant layout and piping design. Upon completion of this course the delegates will have a clearunderstanding of the design and engineering principles used in plant layout and piping design.
