Course Description

Process plant commissioning and start-up refers to both new facilities and restarting an existing plant after significant adjustments. Commissioning and start-up of new plant and equipment presents both a major technical and management challenge. The initial start-up of any plant, regardless of size, type, or industry, is a unique occurrence. Therefore, the start-up phase poses some special problems. Absence of experience in Managing these problems has frequently resulted in prolonged and costly start-ups. Staffs must familiarize themselves with the new equipment, processes and technologies, and develop the relevant operating and safety procedures. Principles taught in this Process Plant Start-up, Commissioning and Troubleshooting training will assist you to understand the genuine nature and various techniques of problem solving and problem prevention in the operational / process environment. There is a disturbing trend in industry to limit the potential commitment of the Technical/Operations function to productivity improvement, product quality and gains in overall industry.

The training course also covers the essential basic skills required for problem identification; analysis and resolution. This approach will allow delegates to understand how to change the culture of the organization from “REACTIVE” to “PRO-ACTIVE”. The advantages of moving towards World Class performance standards are undeniable in terms of Safety; Cost Reduction; Quality; and Increased Output.
