Introduction
When designing process equipment, it is important to take into consideration the kind of environment in which the equipment will be operating. It’s important to design the equipment so that it resists corrosion and other damage mechanisms likely to occur in that particular environment. Likewise, proper inspection and maintenance schedules are also integral in order to ensure the continued safety and functionality of the equipment over its lifespan..
Safety is an important area in engineering education and the trends nowadays are to promote its learning throughout an engineering curriculum and/or teaching safety as a stand-alone subject. Equipment design is one of the core subjects that chemical and process engineering professionals learn in their program.
Safety in Process Equipment Design and Operation training course provides an overview of important elements of process safety as they are often encountered in today’s industrial practice. The emphasis is on engineering design aspects of Process Safety Management and it will highlight the safeguarding aspects of processing equipment inside the plant.
Objectives
At the end of this Safety in Process Equipment Design and Operation training course, the participants will learn:
The understanding of different aspects of process design that influence process safety
The Importance of the concept of “Inherently Safer Design”
To design principles based on Codes and Standards for safe operation of process equipment
The Selection and sizing of safety valves and pressure relief systems
Common process hazards analysis methods: HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA
Detection and prevention methods for fire and explosion accidents
Plant Equipment Inspection (NDT) and Maintenance Procedures
Appreciate “inherently safer design” for the entire process plant operation
Evaluate mechanical integrity of process equipment
Identify hazards associated with process fluids regarding impact on material degradation
Follow code requirements for sizing relief valves to handle relief streams
Operate Emergency De-Pressuring Systems (EDP) in case of fire and gas explosions
