Procedure In the modern industrial environment, plant optimization is crucial. Reducing production costs, especially those associated with disruptions to operations, is necessary for optimization to yield significant advantages. This necessitates optimizing plant and equipment availability and reliability as well as efficient maintenance operations management. Planning techniques and efficient inspection and maintenance plans are also part of this. Optimizing plants can be a useful strategy for increasing profitability.

Course Objectives:

To avail the background knowledge for engineers and technicians who are concerned with design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, inspection and repair of pipelines. This covers design, material, configurations, dimensions, stresses, and internal flow, inspection & repair aspects. We are also able to offer a wide range of training courses relevant to oil and gas system optimization, chemical application, environmental, health and safety issues. The following is a summary of the training courses offered by our Technical Service.

To assist participants in understanding the main elements of plant optimization the way how to achieve and realize potential benefits
To enhance the business focus of participants and equip them to make more contributions to sustainable plant profitability
To equip maintenance professionals, planners and engineers with the knowledge to select the most appropriate methodologies for their maintenance decision-making
To learn how to identify the potential for reduction of energy consumption
To provide participants with practical and effective methods and tools to perform technical and economic evaluations of the alternatives
