COURSE OVERVIEW

This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of ammonia production plant operations, emphasizing the principles, systems, and processes involved in the reformer, refrigeration, and synthesis sections of an ammonia plant. The training focuses on safe and efficient plant operation, process optimization, troubleshooting, and integration between the different systems that form the complete ammonia production cycle.

Participants will gain the essential knowledge required to operate and monitor ammonia production facilities, including feedstock preparation, reforming, shift conversion, synthesis loop control, and refrigeration cycles. The course also highlights operational safety, process monitoring, and control room coordination, ensuring that participants develop both technical proficiency and operational awareness.

Real-world case studies and simulation-based discussions will help participants understand how to respond to plant upsets, optimize performance, and maintain high production efficiency while ensuring safe and reliable operation.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

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

1. Understand the overall ammonia production process flow, from feed preparation to final product.
2. Describe the function and operating principles of the ammonia reformer system, including primary and secondary reformers.
3. Explain the refrigeration and synthesis systems and their role in ammonia recovery and production.
4. Apply practical knowledge in process monitoring, control, and optimization.
5. Recognize the main operational challenges and safety considerations associated with ammonia production.
6. Perform routine operation, startup, and shutdown procedures for each subsystem.
7. Interpret key process parameters and data from control room instrumentation.
8. Develop the ability to troubleshoot process deviations and equipment malfunctions.
9. Understand energy integration, process efficiency, and emission control in modern ammonia plants.
10. Apply best practices for communication between control room and field operations to maintain safe plant conditions.

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 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.
