Introduction

The course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview on the operation of the hydrocarbon process equipment that includes fired heaters, air coolers, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, crude desalter, pressure vessels and valves. It covers the characteristics of crude oil and function of chemicals used in the process such as composition of petroleum, hydrocarbon concentration and emulsions. properties, salt At the completion of the course, participants will be able to apply oil treating; dehydration and desalting; process and equipment operations; and employ the sequence of desalter plant start-up. The course will also cover the different types and function of direct fired heaters; safety aspects; air coolers; heat exchangers; pumps; compressors; process vessels; valves; and troubleshooting of different equipment and processes. The course outlines the general technology of typical process equipment. It covers how these machines work on process, mechanical aspects, wear, lubrication and troubleshooting techniques. The course provides participants with the basic knowledge for inspecting these pieces of equipment, making fault detections and diagnoses. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.

Objectives

This course is intended for engineers, supervisory and technical staff involved in the maintenance and inspection of pumps, compressors and plant engineers in the oil, chemical and other process industries who require a wider and deeper appreciation of pumps and compressors design, including their design, performance and operation. No prior knowledge of the topic is required.

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:-

Apply proper techniques and procedures on the operation of the hydrocarbon process equipment such as fired heaters, air coolers, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, crude desalter, pressure vessels and valves
Enumerate the characteristics of crude oil and identify the function of chemicals used in the process such as composition of petroleum, hydrocarbon properties, salt concentration and emulsions
Discuss oil treating, dehydration and desalting including the process and equipment operations
Employ the sequence of desalter plant start-up and identify the different types and function of direct fired heaters including the safety aspects
Differentiate the various types of air coolers, heat exchangers, pumps and compressors
Describe the types and functions of process vessels and valves including the troubleshooting of different equipment and processes
