The petrochemical engineering operation compliance and technical audit training course is designed for professionals involved in the petrochemical industry to enhance their ability to understand how the operation of a petrochemical facility is compliant with regulatory requirements, the company’s internal standard operating procedures, and international best practices. In this program, participants will receive a thorough analysis of the various engineering processes, operating controls, and integrated safety systems that govern today’s petrochemical facilities. The course’s objective is to equip participants to successfully apply the compliance framework in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, ensuring that properly conducted technical audits will provide an accurate assessment of operating conditions and associated risks.
The Imperial Corporate Training Institute has developed this training course to create synergy between engineering operations and audit functions. The focus of this course is to determine the operational performance, the integrity of processes, and compliance with regulatory requirements of a petrochemical plant through an engineering and operationally-based approach. By utilizing both the engineering fundamentals and the technical audit methodology, participants will be able to assess a petrochemical facility’s operational efficiency, safety performance, and compliance readiness in complex petrochemical environments. There is a strong emphasis on applying knowledge in practice, adhering to industry-accepted standards, and covering real-life audit scenarios specific to refineries, petrochemical plants, and process industry operations.
Objectives
By the end of this Petrochemical Engineering Operations Compliance and Technical Audit Training Course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the basic principles of petrochemical engineering, as well as how they are assessed when performing a technical audit.
- Review all workflows in an operation to find out where compliance is not being achieved or where there are issues with inefficiency of the operations.
- Review an organisation’s petroleum operation audit against internationally accepted standards and local legislation to determine adherence to both.
- Review a plant’s safety systems to assess the ability to manage risk associated with operation, as well as determine if all appropriate risk control measures have been implemented.
- Carry out structured technical audits in line with an organisation’s compliance framework and operational goals.
- Review audit findings to identify areas of improvement regarding process integrity, reliability of equipment and maintenance practices.
- Translate audit findings into practical recommendations to improve operations and ensure compliance.
- Facilitate improved communication and coordination between the audit, engineering, operations and HSE departments.
- Ensure that the organisation continually meets its obligations with respect to safety, environmental, and operational regulatory compliance.
