COURSE OVERVIEW:

The course will cover the complete operation of air liquefaction systems, including air liquefaction techniques, process flow, operating conditions, system control philosophy, startup and shutdown procedures, normal operation, troubleshooting, and liquefied air storage. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the main equipment, instrumentation, and control logic used in air liquefaction units and storage systems. Emphasis will be placed on safe, efficient operation, early detection of abnormal conditions, and taking appropriate corrective actions in line with established procedures.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

-Describe the basic principles of air liquefaction and the key process steps involved.

-Identify the main equipment and subsystems in an air liquefaction plant and explain their functions.

-Interpret process flow diagrams and control narratives related to air liquefaction system operation.

-Understand normal operating conditions, limits, and key process parameters for the air liquefaction unit and liquefied air storage.

-Monitor air liquefaction system performance during normal operation and recognize deviations from expected conditions.

-Conduct startup and shutdown activities in line with established processes and procedures.

-Interpret and follow interlocks, permissive, and logic sequences associated with system startup, shutdown, and trip conditions.

-Apply safe operating practices and follow isolation and depressurization requirements when intervening in the system.

-Diagnose common operational problems in air liquefaction systems using trends, alarms, and field observations.

-Take necessary corrective actions for operational problems within the scope of operator responsibilities and escalate appropriately.

-Coordinate effectively with maintenance and technical teams during troubleshooting and restart activities.

-Contribute to the continuous improvement of operating procedures and checklists based on lessons learned.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Operators and panel operators working in air separation and air liquefaction facilities

-Control room operators are responsible for cryogenic and liquefaction units

-Operations technicians involved in the field operation of compressors, exchangers, and storage systems

-Operations supervisors who oversee air liquefaction and liquefied air storage systems

-Junior process and operations engineers who require a practical understanding of air liquefaction operations

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but 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 learning. Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation, learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and after the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants who complete at least 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
