Instrumentation, Process Control & Safety System
Course Intrduction::
This course provides a comprehensive knowledge of process control and safety systems. It also provides an understanding of instrumentation and control systems and facilitates communication with experts to specify, design, operate and improve control systems. It reviews the essentials of process control and tools to optimize the operation of your plant or process, including the ability to perform effective loop tuning. You will be able to identify and apply the essential building blocks in automatic control with a focus on PID control.
This workshop provides a whole spectrum of activities ranging from basic instrumentation engineering to advanced practice including hazardous areas, data communications along with vast array instrumentation equipment utilized in an oil and gas environment as well as practical treatment of instrumentation within the oil, gas, petrochemical and offshore industries. Whilst there is some theory this is used in a practical context giving you the necessary tools to ensure that the instrumentation hardware is delivering the results intended. No matter whether you are a new instrumentation or control technician/technologist/graduate engineer or indeed, even a practicing facilities engineer, you will find this course beneficial in improving your understanding, skills and knowledge.
