Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers a Petroleum Pump System and Refinery Plant Operations Training Course that provides an in-depth understanding of petroleum pumping equipment as well as refinery plant operations through a structured and professional development programme. Participants will be provided an overview of how pump systems support fluid flow, regulate pressure and assure safe operations and continuity within the refinery setting. Participants will develop a thorough understanding of how the pump works in a refinery’s environment by gaining an understanding of how the pump’s role interacts with the operations being supported by the refinery and how these two areas work together to create a successful operation.
This course also covers the operation of refineries in great detail including: Crude oil receiving, Product transfer, Utilities andEnvironmental/safety systems andPerformance optimisation. The course uses an organised approach to teach participants how the various types of pumping technologies within Refineries interact with Process Units, Instrumentation and Automation Platforms. A large component of the course is focused on the reliability of operations, improving operation efficiency, diagnosing operational faults and confirming compliance with all applicable codes and regulations. Participants of this oil and gas training course are trained to operate, monitor and maintain the pumping systems supporting refinery operations in high-risk industrial environments.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
