Process Plant Optimization & Energy Conservation
Course Description
Plant integrity and reliability is the cornerstone of process plant optimization. For optimization benefits to be sustainable, production interruptions must be kept to a minimum which requires effective management of degradation processes that affect equipment and systems and effective inspection and maintenance strategies, plans and methods. Plant optimization can be an effective way to achieve improved profitability without the large investment associated with building a new plant. Common industrial processes and systems, such as steam, cooling water, process heating, and electric motors consume most of the energy and offer significant opportunities for savings. Process changes such as advanced controls, new catalysts, and new technologies also present opportunities for plant optimization. This course will provide a comprehensive review of the various aspects of process plant integrity as the essential foundation for sustainable plant profitability and optimization.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
  • understanding the elements of plant optimization
  • systematic and coordinated efforts by engineering, operations, and maintenance functions
  • maximisation of plant availability, reliability and productivity
  • minimising operational costs
  • safeguarding of plant integrity over its intended life based on total life cycle cost principles
Training Objective

  • To assist participants in clearly understanding what plant optimization and energy conservation is all about – the drivers, the potential benefits, and how to realize them
  • To enhance the business focus of participants and equip them to make more contributions to sustainable plant profitability
  • Learn how to identify the most attractive opportunities for energy savings
  • Provide the delegate with managerial tools to effectively optimise plant operations
  • To provide participants with practical and effective methods and tools to perform technical and economic evaluations of the alternatives
