Process Plant Start-Up, Commissioning and Troubleshooting
Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
The aim of this course is to provide participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the start-up and commissioning of petrochemical plants. The course will also cover the troubleshooting of the start-up process. Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will gain enough skills to anticipate and avoid all problems associated with such a start-up process.
