COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive course, focusing on Process Engineering Calculations, introduces participants to the fundamental calculation methods required to support the design and operation of modern process plants. The course covers the essential principles behind material and energy balances, fluid flow, equipment sizing concepts, reliability, and compressed air and compressor-related calculations.

Participants will learn how to use structured calculation approaches to support process design, scheduling of operations, and the definition of instrumentation and control requirements. The course also highlights how calculations are used to assess risks and environmental impacts and to develop appropriate mitigation and improvement measures. Throughout the course, participants will engage in practical exercises and case studies to apply the concepts learned using realistic process plant examples.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Use techniques appropriate for the management of a modern process plant from a process engineering calculations perspective.
2. Apply effectively the principles learned to the design, scheduling of operation, instrumentation, and control of process plants.
3. Assess the risks and environmental impacts of process plants and develop appropriate measures to minimise them, using quantitative and semi quantitative methods.
4. Explain the role of process engineering calculations in supporting equipment sizing, process evaluation, and plant optimisation.
5. Perform basic process calculations involving engineering units, physical properties, and process data.
6. Carry out simple material balance calculations for single units and small systems.
7. Estimate basic energy requirements and heat duties for heating, cooling, and simple heat exchange operations.
8. Perform introductory fluid flow and pressure drop calculations for lines, fittings, and simple networks.
9. Carry out basic reliability calculations to estimate availability and understand the impact of equipment configurations.
10. Perform introductory calculations related to compressed air systems and compressors to support selection and operation decisions.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Process Engineers

-New joiners to process engineering and operations roles

-Junior engineers in design, projects, and facilities engineering

-Operations Engineers and Senior Operators who support engineering calculations

-Technical support staff involved in data collection, reporting, and performance monitoring

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.
