COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive course, focusing on Petrochemical Asset Knowledge - Basics, provides a structured introduction to the petrochemical industry, its assets, and how these assets create value. It is designed for engineers and operational staff who require a foundational understanding of petrochemical plants, major process units, equipment, and supporting systems.

The course explains the petrochemical value chain from feedstocks to final products, outlines the types of assets used in petrochemical complexes, and highlights key concepts related to operations, reliability, safety, and economics. Participants will engage in practical exercises and case studies to apply the concepts learned and to better understand how their roles support safe, reliable, and profitable asset performance.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Describe the structure of the petrochemical industry and the main stages of the petrochemical value chain.
2. Identify the main types of petrochemical assets (plants, units, equipment, and infrastructure) and their roles.
3. Explain the basic principles of major petrochemical processes and how they transform feedstocks into products.
4. Recognize the key equipment and utility systems commonly found in petrochemical plants.
5. Understand fundamental concepts of asset lifecycle, maintenance, and reliability for petrochemical facilities.
6. Describe essential health, safety, and environmental requirements for petrochemical operations.
7. Relate production, logistics, and supply chain activities to overall asset performance.
8. Interpret basic economic and performance indicators used to assess petrochemical asset effectiveness.
9. Appreciate the role of digital tools and asset information in supporting operations and decision making.
10. Apply basic Petrochemical Asset Knowledge - Basics concepts to simple case studies and workplace scenarios.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Engineers new to the petrochemical industry

-Process, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation engineers

-Operational staff working in petrochemical plants and terminals

-Supervisors and coordinators supporting petrochemical operations and maintenance

-Technical support staff, planners, and junior project engineers in petrochemical environments

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 will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

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 completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
