The Planned Shut-down, Isolation, Start-up & Commissioning Training Course offered by the Imperial Corporate Training Institute is a thorough and industry-aligned program that will help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to accurately and safely manage major plant events. The program will provide you with the practical knowledge regarding maintenance planning, risk control, protection of equipment, and effective integration of workflow that aid in executing planned shutdowns, isolating systems, and conducting commissioning activities in a safe and reliable manner. You will learn how to minimize downtime, maximize the use of resources, and maintain your compliance with International Standards through in-depth discussions of concepts, operational situations, and practical methods.
A key focus of this course is operational safety training, mechanical integrity, system isolation techniques, and high-performing overhauls within the power and utilities industries. Additionally, this course is organized into a step-by-step approach, beginning with preparation for a shutdown and progressing through isolation controls, pre-commissioning inspections, energizing systems, and evaluations post-startup. As the course demonstrates the latest trends within the industry, modern reliability programs, and general operational best practices, you will walk away from this course with an achievable and practical means of conducting shutdowns and commissioning operations efficiently, safely, and economically in any industrial setting.
Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Implement, and comprehend your end-to-end planned shutdown strategy.
- Utilize structured maintenance-planning methods as a method of maximizing downtime across all areas of your facility.
- Create your isolation plans based on regulatory/permitted Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) and other applicable regulations.
- Facilitate efficient and effective health and safety training methods for all persons who will be involved in the shutdown and commissioning periods.
- Recognize and manage the risks of de-energizing, isolating, and depressurizing equipment.
- Minimize interruptions by coordinating multi-discipline shutdown and major-overhaul activities.
