Description
A process plant is predominantly made up of piping and other mechanical equipments. Growing up and working in a multi-discipline environment requires basic understanding of the plant piping and equipments. Engineers and Technicians, including new Mechanical Engineering graduates who work either in the design office or a process plant and who, although qualified in their own discipline, may not have received adequate Mechanical Engineering training, can open the door to understand many concepts of mechanical design. To be effective, Engineers, Technicians and personnel of all disciplines should have a fundamental understanding of the principles that dictate the requirement of plant design by the Construction Code. This course is designed to give an insight to the plant piping with reference to Code ASME B31.3 –Process Piping and an overall concept of major mechanical equipments used in a typical process plant.
This 3 days course is designed to meet the needs of Engineers, Technicians and personnel of all disciplines (Quality, Safety and Process/Production) from Design, Construction and Owner Companies
Objective
- Provide a basic understanding and knowledge of process piping and equipment typically required by any process plant
- Provide an awareness of the codes and regulations that governs the design and operation of a plant
- To deal with a process facility by a non-mechanical Engineer in charge.
Who Should Attend
Industrial and commercial plant and facilities engineers and operators, project engineers, design engineers, Quality and Safety personnel who are involved in the design, construction and operation of a process plant. Professionals who need to add to their current experience and knowledge of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers who require practical knowledge of certain aspects of mechanical engineering or who need to refresh their knowledge. New graduates will benefit from the practical industrial experience of the instructor.

Instructor
 Mr. Ganga D. Deka, P.Eng is a registered professional Engineer with APEGGA Alberta and currently works with an Engineering Design Company as a Senior Mechanical /Piping Engineer. He brings with him over 25 years of experience in oil and gas industry with diversified experience in both engineering design and operation. He, therefore, brings with him the best experience from both the sides – from the drawing office to hands-on.
Ganga had assumed responsible positions in with multi-million dollar projects both in greens field engineering design and browns field projects. He had led teams of multi-disciplinary Engineers in design, commissioning, start-up and turn-arounds and clearly understands the needs of people who work in a process plant.
Ganga’s long years of experience in the oil industry gives him a thorough insight to the basics of centrifugal pumps used in process industry. With his versatile knowledge and experience he currently delivers seminars on various mechanical engineering subjects related to a process plant to both young and experienced mechanical and non-mechanical engineers.
