COURSE OVERVIEW:

The CCC Series 4 control system represents a highly integrated platform for the simultaneous management of compressor anti-surge and performance control. This course provides an advanced exploration of the implementation and maintenance requirements for this complex control architecture. Participants will learn how the Series 4 system utilizes high-speed processing and specialized algorithms to protect turbo-machinery while meeting demanding process objectives.

The scope of this training includes the detailed configuration of the Series 4 hardware and software environment, focusing on its multi-loop control capabilities. We will examine the integration of load-sharing logic, speed control, and anti-surge protection within a single unified platform. The course emphasizes the technical skills required to implement these systems in multi-train or multi-stage compressor applications, ensuring seamless coordination between units.

Coverage extends to the maintenance protocols for the Series 4 chassis, including diagnostic procedures and hardware replacement strategies. Attendees will explore the implementation of advanced control features such as quench control and decoupling logic. By the end of this course, participants will be proficient in the technical management of CCC Series 4 systems, enabling them to provide expert-level support for critical plant assets.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Explain the integrated control philosophy of the CCC Series 4 system.
2. Identify the hardware components and chassis layout of Series 4.
3. Configure performance control loops for pressure or flow.
4. Implement multi-unit load sharing and parallel compressor logic.
5. Understand the decoupling strategies between anti-surge and performance.
6. Manage the configuration of speed control for steam or gas turbines.
7. Execute advanced tuning of nested control loops.
8. Utilize Series 4 diagnostic tools for performance optimization.
9. Troubleshoot communication links between Series 4 and supervisory systems.
10. Describe the implementation of auxiliary control loops like quench or vent.
11. Perform hardware backups and system restores for Series 4.
12. Analyze control behavior during plant upsets and transients.
13. Develop a maintenance plan for high-availability control systems.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Senior Control Engineers, Instrumentation Leads, Machinery Engineers, and Maintenance Specialists responsible for CCC Series 4 installations.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
