Introduction

Complexity of chemical and petroleum processing is more these days than it was 50 years ago.  Continuous variation in product input and demands for high quality and productivity make operational and maintenance staff to stand on edges all the time.

With more pressure to increase the productivity, plants staff are likely to exceed design parameters occasionally or unknowingly.

In older plants deterioration sets in which is not visible to human eye; and with inbuilt flaws and defects from design stage, failure are likely to occur unexpectedly in some parts of plant and machinery.

Codes and Standards were developed only from failures and lack of understanding of material capability and they are written for our benefit that we don’t do the same mistakes.

Fabricational and assembly short comings also occur due to operation urgencies .

Therefore plant reliability and asset management is a joint responsibility of all concerned.

This course gives an overview of testing and knowing strength and weakness of all plant components and act accordingly.

Objective

To create an awareness of:

  • The importance of codes and standards for plant safety and reliability
  • The body of knowledge to all operational and maintenance personal  who are more concerned with productivity than safety and reliability.
  • Material selection skills to all who are responsible for all repair and alteration and contractor dependent works 
Audience

This course is useful for fresh & experienced engineers or engineers desiring to shift to process equipment and pressure vessel engineering disciplines. It will be suitable also for individuals who work in process operation, process control, maintenance and repair, inspection and other activities related to pressure vessels.
