Steam Systems in Ammonia Plant

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

Overview

This 5 day course is planned to provide participants with latest know how of the safe operation of the steam reforming unit. This course provides a deeper understanding of the operating and monitoring of steam reformers. The use of hydrogen for petrochemicals, fertilizers and as energy carrier in connection with renewable energy production will increase substantially in the future as even more stringent environmental legislation is enforced. Hydrogen will be required by fertilizers, refineries and specialty chemical manufacturers to meet the global need for cleaner products.

Learning Objectives

• Gaining a solid understanding of the key elements associated with the design, operation and control of steam reformers.
• Realizing the impact of feed quality, catalyst, operation conditions and unit design on the steam reforming unit.
• Gaining valuable insight into how to optimize the steam reforming unit
• Recognizing how to effectively debottleneck the steam reforming unit
• Recognizing how to effectively troubleshoot the steam reforming unit
• Comprehending the process safety management systems and their functions
• Performing safe and successful operations of the steam reforming unit with proper safety measures.
• Analysing the impact of operating parameters on the HPU efficiency through an analysis of the catalyst's performance,
• Identifying the effect of various control parameters

The portfolio covers reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and vibration analysis, root cause failure analysis, rotating and static equipment, asset management and maintenance planning — including preparation for the CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) credential.

Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?

These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.

How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team.
