COURSE OVERVIEW:

This course provides advanced, practical knowledge on the operation of chemical handling and injection systems used in oil, gas, and process facilities. It focuses on monitoring system performance, executing safe startup and shutdown activities according to standard operating procedures, and taking effective corrective actions for operational problems. Participants will learn how to interpret chemical injection logics, recognize corrosive and scale forming conditions, optimize chemical dosing, perform calibration, conduct bottle tests and field performance tests, and troubleshoot complex faults, all while maintaining high HSE standards.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Explain the overall function and configuration of chemical handling and injection systems in production and process facilities.
2. Recognize corrosive conditions, monitor corrosion rates, and select and apply suitable corrosion inhibitors.
3. Predict and treat emulsions, understand the causes of foaming, and apply appropriate chemical and operational controls to minimize foam.
4. Predict scale-forming conditions and select and apply scale inhibitors effectively.
5. Identify conditions that promote gas hydrate formation and apply appropriate chemical and operational controls to prevent hydrate blockages.
6. Predict and control paraffin (wax) deposition and evaluate methods for asphaltene control.
7. Select and safely use H2S scavengers to control low concentrations of hydrogen sulphide.
8. Plan and execute chemical system startups and shutdowns safely as per standard operating procedures.
9. Perform chemical pump calibration, verify injection rates, and adjust dosing based on process conditions and performance indicators.
10. Conduct bottle tests and field tests to evaluate chemical effectiveness and optimize treatment programs.
11. Interpret chemical handling and injection control logics and cause and effect diagrams and use them for diagnosis and troubleshooting.
12. Systematically troubleshoot operational problems in chemical handling and injection systems and implement corrective and preventive actions.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Senior operators and panel operators

-Field operators responsible for chemical systems

-Production and process operators working with chemical treatment

-Utilities and offsite operators

-Experienced technicians involved in chemical injection and monitoring

-Any operations personnel who need an advanced understanding of chemical handling and injection system operation and troubleshooting

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.
