Process Equipment Design & Detail Engineering - Certificate Program

Static equipment design course is designed to provide an understanding and skills in design of different process equipment's. The program is a good opportunity for participants to familiarize with practical techniques, useful criteria (including short cuts) for designing of process equipment commonly used in petrochemical and oil & gas plants. This program will provide practical aspects of the mechanical design of pressure vessels, storage tanks, thermal equipment, piping systems and fluid transport machinery. This training course will discuss the performance of these components under various operating conditions including in-depth explanation on the process of material degradation such as corrosion, erosion, fatigue and others that may lead to component failure.

Registration begins from : March 21, 2022
