Primary Reforming Operation and Maintenance

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Gas pipeline systems play an important role in modern industrial operations. The purpose of this Pipeline Operations & Maintenance training course is to enhance participants` awareness related to; the effective and safe operation of gas pipelines. In this regard it will cover the gas pipeline system structure features and components including; the equipment for gas flow (pumps and compressors) and control devices (valves, control system). In addition; this training course will enable delegates to inspect and test the pipeline accordingly as per the relevant standards.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the gas flow basics
• Explain the hazards associated with the operation and maintenance of gas pipeline
• Identify the basic components of a gas pipeline
• Explain how to safely operate and monitor a gas pipeline
• Conduct efficiently the maintenance of gas pipelines
• Inspect and test gas pipeline
• Outline the practical aspects related to the operation and maintenance activities of gas pipelines
• Use & follow the guidelines & best industrial practices related to the operation, control, inspection & testing of pipelines
