An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Practical Valve Technology
Selection, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Course Overview
Power Plant and other petrochemical industries do deal with different types of valves. All piping systems are fitted with valves for controlling purposes or safety requirements. Understanding the function of each valve type will have an important reflection on the process quality, equipment and plant reliability, and the economics of the whole activity. Different application needs to select the appropriate valve type of a particular flow characteristics. Operation of the valve also affects the system and the process. Understanding the problems associated with valves is essential for diagnosis and troubleshooting and the needed maintenance for the particular type of valves.
The seminar will highlight:
- The understanding of the function of different types of valves
- The appreciation of the characteristics of valves
- The selection and sizing process
- The problems and phenomenon associated with valves operation
- The ability to carry out troubleshooting of valves
Training Objectives
This five-day course will address all aspects of Selection, Operation and Maintenance and Troubleshooting of industrial valves.
At the end of this seminar, participants will have:
- An understanding of valve characteristics and different parameters affecting the operation of valves
- Knowledge of the main types of valves and the ability to select the right valve for the particular application including Control Valves, Non-Return Valves and Safety Valves
- The ability to perform the necessary calculation for valve sizing
- Knowledge of valve control systems including actuators and positioners
- An understanding of the problems associated with valves like flashing, slamming and water hammer
- The ability to perform troubleshooting of systems involving valves and making decisions on the right maintenance plan concerning different types of valves
