Process Piping Systems
Mississauga, ON
(Mar 29 - Apr 1, 2010)
Course Code: 00-0327-2065
After Participating In The Seminar, You Will Be Able To:
• apply the design fundamentals of process piping systems
• benefit from the knowledge gained from the course about the role of valves and pumps in the effective operation of process piping systems
• select pipes suitable for the fluid flow in your process using the insight gained in the course about the pipe characteristics
• conduct more effectively preventive maintenance, inspection, testing and repair of process piping systems
• follow the ASME, ANSI and CSA codes and standards in design, maintenance and operations
• develop the pipe layout using the best practices
• use the knowledge of computer software for pipe stress analysis
• carry out in-service inspections
• troubleshoot with confidence problems in your piping system
• optimize your insulation and heat tracing system
Description
The productivity of a process plant depends as much on the piping system as it does on all other plant equipments. As a result it is essential that the piping must be efficiently designed, well maintained and, when required, repaired in an effective and timely manner.
This course will present information on the design of an efficient process piping system and code requirements. Sessions on piping system related subjects, such as valves and actuators, pumps, insulation, inspection and maintenance, piping failure etc. are also be presented. Case studies and workshops are a part of the course.
Objective
To provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of good piping design practices and piping system maintenance fundamentals.
Who Should Attend
Process engineers, project managers, design engineers, equipment and operating engineers, consultants, contractors and technologists responsible for specifying process piping systems.
The course will be of particular interest to individuals responsible for piping systems in industries such as power, brewing, food, chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, plastics and polymers, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper and water treatment.
