An Intensive 5 Day Training Course Valves & Actuators Technology 27-31 Aug 2017, Dubai 00-XXX-00 This course is Designed, Developed, and will be Delivered under iso Quality standards
Valves & Actuators Technology Why Choose this Training Course? Valves are synonymous with just about every industry around the world. Having said that, anyone dealing with this type of equipment knows that there is a lot to learn, and many choices to be made. Of course, a special component or mechanism is also required to operate the valve, and it must have a source of energy. This is known as the actuator, and it takes this energy and converts it into mechanical motion, which is transferred through to the valve. This training course aims to take the mystery out of all aspects pertaining to valves and actuators, and to assist delegates in seamlessly going through all the important thought processes related to these devices, from selection to installation, and everything in between. At the end of the day, the valve and actuator must not be seen in isolation from the rest of the process, but as part of a greater loop, where they are expected to operate at optimal levels. This training course will feature: The purpose, principle and types of valves Actuator types, and other equipment associated with valves Valve and actuator combinations Valve and actuator maintenance, and taking a system from installation to operation Optimal material selection, specific to valves and actuators What are the Goals? The primary goal of this training course is to remove the mystery out of valve and actuator technology. Correct product selection is crucial and, bearing this in mind, the goals of the training course would be to assist delegates in: Differentiating between the different types of valves available, and focusing on their advantages and disadvantages Developing a system, using the specific actuators that will provide the greatest benefit, based on their individual advantages and disadvantages Selecting the appropriate additional equipment (and, combinations of equipment, where necessary) Learning to take any installation from the specification and selection process, right through to installation and maintenance phases Sizing valves correctly, whilst identifying and gaining familiarity with ANSI / DIN pipe sizes and pressure ratings At the end of this training course, you will learn to: Choose a valve and actuator combination that is most applicable to a specific requirement Understand leakage rates applicable to valves Gain insights into preventative and other maintenance aspects, specific to valves and actuators Understand and become fluent in terminology pertinent to valves and actuators Understand safety relief valves, as well as other valves used in emergency situations Who is this Training Course for? This PetroKnowledge training course will be aimed primarily at people in fields associated with valves and actuators. This would be inclusive of instrumentation, electrical, mechanical, process and other disciplines actively involved in either the utilization or the selection and installation of valves and actuators. This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit: Maintenance personnel (specifically, from those fields closely associated with the equipment) Supervisory personnel Instrumentation technicians and engineers Process engineers Mechanical engineers Design staff Representatives from the health and safety departments Engineers in other disciplines People from a financial background, who have an interest in cost containment, by using the most effective devices available Management and senior management staff How will this Training Course be Presented? The Valves & Actuators Technology training course has been very carefully planned to have a representative breakdown in teaching methodologies that are proven to be effective. Yes, they will be a theoretical component. But, just as importantly, they will be pre-and post-test evaluations, individual assessments per section, group discussions, group and individual practical exercises, as well as computer simulations, where required. www.petroknowledge.com
