Course Description
This training course includes a wide range of subjects with many applications in Oil & Gas, Chemical and Process industries, related to hydrocarbons and chemical processing. This 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.
Techniques for analyzing and mitigating process safety hazards applicable to Oil & Gas processing will be reviewed. Integration of the concepts required to achieve an optimum approach to Process Safety Engineering is the main goal of this course. Exercises and useful examples will be utilized throughout the course to emphasize the key learning points.
The overall purpose of this course is for learners to learn how to identify process hazards, determine major accident hazards, and eliminate/mitigate the risk of process safety hazards when specifying the design of oil field processing equipment and facilities. Participants will learn about inherently safer design, the design and operation of process safety systems, and devices, and develop operating procedures that take into account process safety.
What you will learn:
The course will ensure the following understanding:
- How to identify hazards and assess risk in the working environment related to production processes and design. Identify barriers in design and engineering to be in place to safeguard plant and processes.
- Comprehensive understanding of different aspects of process design that influence process safety
- Ability to select an “inherently safer design” for the entire process plant operation
- Knowledge on the mechanical structure integrity of process equipment
- Familiarity with hazards LOPA and when to apply the best PHA method and technique
- Experience with the requirements of CFR 1910, CCPS and PSM elements.
- Knowledge of how to operate safely during an emergency and co-ordinate emergency preparedness and response programmes.
- Employ the latest methodology on hazard identification with various types of process plant incidents, impact and approaches to the systematic identification of hazards and risks.
Who Should Attend
The course is intended for facility, production and drilling engineers; supervisors and managers involved with the design, construction or operation of production facilities or drilling operations. The course is applicable to:
- All operations including onshore and offshore operations.
- People who are making day-to-day decisions regarding operation, design, maintenance, and economics of process industry plants.
- Engineers, Operating Personnel, PSM Coordinator, HSE Managers and Engineers
- Ideal for veterans and those with only a few years of experience who want to review or broaden their understanding of process safety.
- Other professionals who desire a better understanding of the subject matter.
- Engineers and technicians in Oil & Gas, chemical and process industries
- Process, mechanical and chemical engineers
- Engineers and technicians who deal with reactors and piping systems
- Design engineers, project engineers and HSE managers
- Control, automation and instrumentation engineers
- Operators and maintenance personnel
