DESCRIPTION
The course presents a practical approach to selection, sizing, installation, operation and maintenance of control valves, actuators and pumps. This training course is designed with a total balance between theory and practical examples and will help the participants in better understanding of the control valve functions, testing and maintenance of valves. This course explains the various factors (like fluid characteristics, valve forces, leakage etc) and considerations that govern selection and sizing of control valve and actuator sizing. It also discusses installation, maintenance and verification of actuator appropriateness, be it for liquid, gas or vapor applications. It lays down criteria for selecting an actuator and associated auxiliary devices. Pumps find extensive use in petrochemical process plants, water circulation systems, A/C and heating systems, and many other applications. Right pump selection appropriate to the application and effective performance testing are essential requirements for prolonged machine life. The course provides participants with useful tips, Do’s and Don’ts in carrying out installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of valves, matching of valve / actuator technical specifications and system operational parameters. Emphasis is given on good engineering practices and relevant practical examples. The course also covers important aspects of control valves their maintenance and periodic testing. A successful valueoverhaul is critical in the reliability of the valve when re-installed in the process. Expert tips are included to ensure an efficient overhaul. The course would also cover pump accessories (shaft seal, bearings, lubrication) their selection, care and maintenance.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Ideal for the engineers who are involved in selection, installation or operation of control valves and actuators in the oil & gas, petroleum and petrochemical industries, power plants etc. This course is a good introduction to someone who has had no dealings with valves in the past as well as an important refresher course for valve specialists. Also recommended for operations and maintenance persons, instrumentation and control engineers, process engineers, plant overhauling and troubleshooting engineers and technicians.
