About
An exercise is developed throughout the session to illustrate the process of instrumentation selection and specification for a pressure vessel. The required documentation is identified and developed for incorporation in a BPCS (basic process control system). The exercise does not require formal instrument engineering training but prior field experience is very helpful. Through the use of individual and team problem solving you will learn about instrumentation on a vessel, developing required documentation, reviewing end devices, control valves, process control basics and discussing the various interfaces between facilities engineers, contractors and maintenance personnel. Participants will gain a better understanding of the instrumentation process and what is important to this discipline.
Oil and gas Facilities and Project, Electrical or Instrumentation and Controls Engineers with two or more years of field experience who want to further improve their practical understanding of Instrumentation/Controls systems within oil and gas facilities. Attendees should have good working knowledge of instrumentation and control fundamentals.
By the end of this course participants will learn :
- Instrumentation project management
- Instrumentation project documentation
- Loop diagrams, electrical and pneumatic
- Review end devices such as pressure, temperature, level, IP converters
- Valve types, shutdown, control, relief
- Process control basics
- P and D diagrams and interpretation
- Introduction
- Basic project management
- Front end engineering design (FEED)
- Final design activities
- Construction and commissioning
- Weekly project design actives
- Instrumentation weekly project that instruments a vessel
- Develop associated documentation to hook the instruments to a BPCS
- Loop diagram development
- Review of field devices in the form of pressure, temperature, level transmitters or switches
- Process control basics and their associated control elements
- Review of PLC, SCADA systems
- Review hazardous areas classification for electronic instruments
- Discussion of bid documentation and construction management
Training Methodology
Pathways Training and consulting adopts the newest techniques of human resources Training and consulting and, with the following:
- Theoretical lectures are delivered via PowerPoint and visual displays (videos and short films)
- Making scientific evaluation to the trainee (before and after)
- Brainstorming and role-playing
- Using case studies related to the scientific material being delivered and the trainees' work.
- The participants get the scientific and practical material printed and on CDs and Flash memories.
- Preparing records and reports of the participants' attendance and results, with a general evaluation of the training program.
- A group of the best trainers and experts in all fields and specialties professionally prepares the scientific material.
- After finishing the course, the participants get certificates of attendance signed, certified, and issued by pathways Training and consulting.
- Our training programs start at 9:00 o'clock in the morning and end at 2:00 in the afternoon, with snack buffet during the lectures.
- Providing a lunch buffet during the training program period, with organizing a lunch party on the training program final day for taking some photos and certificate awarding.
