Description
The general knowledge as to how process equipment really functions is disappearing from the process industries. This is not only our opinion but the general view of senior technical managers in many large corporations.Chemical process equipment is basically the same now as it was in the 1930s.The distilling columns, KO drums, compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, valves, steam systems have not changed, and probably will not change.The fundamental nature of process equipment operation has been well established for a very long time.The chemical engineer has traditionally been the guardian of process knowledge. So, one would suppose that if fundamental process knowledge is vanishing, the origin of the problem may lie in our universities.But in this online course, we have gone back to the very simplest basis for understanding process equipment. In every section and video lecture we have said: "Here is how the equipment behaves in the field, and this is why."The guiding idea of our course is that it is better to have a working knowledge of a few simple ideas than a superficial knowledge of many complex theoretical subjects.In this course, you will find valuable insights into the working principles and construction details of the following process equipment:Piping systemsValvesControl valvesActuatorsSafety and pressure relief valvesSteam trapsStrainersHeat exchangersFired heatersCentrifugal pumpsPositive displacement pumps (rotary and reciprocating)Dynamic compressors (axial and centrifugal)Positive displacement compressors (rotary and reciprocating)Distilling columnsTanks and vesselsFlare systemsThe course includes:extensive graphicscross-sectional views3D animationsThis will give you a virtual practical exposure on process equipment.In addition, we have included at the end of the course a technical quiz (200+ questions) to help you test your knowledge and emphasize the key learning points.The quiz includes:True/False questionsMulti-choice questionsImages, cross-sectional viewsSolved problemsand much more...So when you think you've got a good grasp on a topic within the course, you can test your knowledge by taking the quiz. If you pass, wonderful ! If not, you can review the videos and notes again or ask us for help in the Q&A section.Lastly, we hope and believe that this valuable course will help you do a better job and will help you contribute to the safety of your facility, your fellow workers and yourself.We promise you that even though this is a technical training, you can watch it easily, without pain, but with comprehension, and that after completing it, you won't be an experienced operator or process engineer but you will be prepared to become one if that is what you like and persist to be.Thank you again for your interest in our online courses. It is a privilege to serve you and make sure that you're learning valuable information with us.WR TrainingSpread the wings of your knowledge
