Process equipment essentials for a successful career start

Course Summary

The general knowledge as to how process equipment really functions is disappearing from the process industries. This is not only our opinion but the general view of senior technical managers in many large corporations.

Chemical process equipment is basically the same now as it was in the 1930s.

The distilling columns, KO drums, compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, valves, steam systems have not changed, and probably will not change.

The fundamental nature of process equipment operation has been well established for a very long time.

The chemical engineer has traditionally been the guardian of process knowledge. So, one would suppose that if fundamental process knowledge is vanishing, the origin of the problem may lie in our universities.

But in this online course, we have gone back to the very simplest basis for understanding process equipment. In every section and video lecture we have said: “Here is how the equipment behaves in the field, and this is why.”

The guiding idea of our course is that it is better to have a working knowledge of a few simple ideas than a superficial knowledge of many complex theoretical subjects.

In this course, you will find valuable insights into the working principles and construction details of the following process equipment:

    • - Piping systems
    • - Valves
    • - Control valves
    • - Actuators
    • - Safety and pressure relief valves
    • - Steam traps
    • - Strainers
    • - Heat exchangers
    • - Fired heaters
    • - Steam boilers
    • - Centrifugal pumps
    • - Positive displacement pumps (rotary and reciprocating)
    • - Dynamic compressors (axial and centrifugal)
    • - Positive displacement compressors (rotary and reciprocating)
    • - Distilling columns
    • - Tanks and vessels
    • - Flare systems

The course includes:

    • - extensive graphics
    • - cross-sectional views
    • - 3D animations

This will give you a virtual practical exposure on process equipment.

Lastly, we hope and believe that this valuable course will help you do a better job and will help you contribute to the safety of your facility, your fellow workers and yourself.

We promise you that even though this is a technical training, you can watch it easily, without pain, but with comprehension, and that after completing it, you won't be an experienced operator or process engineer but you will be prepared to become one if that is what you like and persist to be.

Thank you again for your interest in our online courses. It is a privilege to serve you and make sure that you're learning valuable information with us.

The training presentation thus far have been very amazing! There is little or no difference to what I would be expecting in real-time situation to what the training is presently offering me; this is quite a remarkable experience. I'm absolutely convinced that this training, as usual, from WR will be robust and meets much or, beyond my expectation.
