Process Plant Optimisation & Energy Conservation
Engineering,Maintenance , Corrosion & Inspection
INTRODUCTION:
This
intensive training course will provide delegates with the required skills to
ensure cost effective operation and maintenance for their process plant. Optimum modes that produce the most efficient
results, consistent with safe and reliable operation will be studied in detail.
Plant energy
consumption and reliability is the foundation of process plant optimisation.
For optimisation benefits to be sustainable, production interruptions must be
kept to a minimum, which requires effective management of degradation processes
that affect equipment and systems and effective inspection and maintenance
strategies, plans and methods. Plant optimisation can be an effective way to
achieve improved profitability without the large investment associated with
building a new plant.
Objectives
By the end of
this Process Plant Optimisation & Energy Conservation training course,
participants will be able to:
Recognize and
understand overall plant effectiveness (OPE)
Apply the
business focus to ensure sustainable plant profitability
Appraise the
most cost-effective operation and energy saving methods
Describe the
managerial tools needed to effectively optimize plant operations
Implement the
most appropriate operation and maintenance strategies
Determine and
measure key performance indicators (KPIs) for their plant
Identify and
apply effective procedures to improve those KPIs
