Home Digital Transformation and Industrial Courses: Preparing Professionals for Industry 4.0
Process plants, such as refineries and petrochemical plants, are complex facilities consisting of equipment, piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics, computers, and control systems. The design, engineering, and construction of process plants involve a multidisciplinary team effort.
Plant layout and design of piping systems constitute a significant part of the design and engineering effort. The goal is to design safe and dependable processing facilities cost-effectively.
This course will provide you with practical knowledge and skills that you can immediately implement in your workplace. We will cover the fundamental principles and concepts used in process plant layout and piping design.
This professional development course is designed for engineers and technicians who need practical skills and knowledge in process plant engineering and piping design.
