Co ur se De scr iption This course presents to the attendees the basicsThe course covers description and definition of hydrocarbon mixture properties, characterization parameters and their significance in design of equipment. Basic calculation procedures for design and rating of process equipment are discussed, with examples, to enhance skills in design techniques. Design aspects associated with revamping of existing facilities are also discussed and guidelines provided.

Equipment Sizing and Selection (Vessels, Pumps, Fans, Blowers, Compressors)

The course is designed to provide comprehensive understanding of process equipment design sizing , and selection concepts and techniques. Design methods and criteria are presented and discussed to familiarize process engineers with practical techniques (including short-cut methods) for selection, sizing and design of process equipment for refineries, petrochemical and related oil and gas processing plants. Procedures for preparation of process equipment specifications and evaluation of vendors proposals are discussed. Brief sessions are included on mechanical design aspects, safety considerations and cost estimating methods to complement background to process design.

W ho sho uld attend?

Mechanical, chemical process engineers involved in design, revamp and operation of refineries, petrochemical and related oil and gas plants. The program is also recommended for plant design and equipment engineers working with operating and engineering/ construction companies, process licensors, and equipment manufacturers.
