Process Engineering Fundamentals: Technologies, Control & Instrumentation

Course Overview:

Process engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with chemical engineering principles, but also with many of the other engineering disciplines including electrical and instrumentation, but especially mechanical.

The process engineer is interested in the transportation and transformation of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics and fluid flow, reaction engineering, but also process control, and economics.

The mechanical engineer is interested in the safe containment and movement of solids, liquids, and gases, often at high temperatures and pressure. Of specific importance are failure modes such as fracture, fatigue, and creep, corrosion and corrosion minimization, material properties, design standards, static and rotating equipment design, inspection, and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring. Sound mechanical engineering principles, together with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation, enable the mechanical engineer to design and maintain the equipment required by the process engineers.

Course Objective:

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

Develop both fundamental and practical understanding of central issues in processes used in oil, gas, petrochemical, chemical, and allied facilities together with a practical understanding of central issues in mechanical engineering as applied in those industries.
Understand the various static and rotating equipment used in the petrochemical environment.
Apply different maintenance strategies and philosophies.
Easily identify and assess the active degradation of mechanisms and the failures they may cause
Enhance their competencies in the Mechanical design of pressure equipment and piping systems in compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulations.

Who Should Attend?

All Technical and nontechnical personnel in the chemical, petrochemical, oil, and process and mechanical industries, petroleum engineers, production engineers, maintenance and project engineers, trainee mechanical engineers, trainee process engineers, plant chemists, plant operators, and economists.
