Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
The control of processes in today’s requires accurate knowledge of
process conditions and this in turn means accurate measurement of those
conditions. Without measurement there can be no control and no
information as to the state of the process. A greater understanding of
the measuring equipment and the instruments can improve the performance
of the operator and this in turn will improve plant performance.
The principles behind the selection
Better
knowledge of how equipment is selected and how it is constructed and how
it works also helps an operator to identify the cause of problems and
prevent their Recurrence. Hence, the economic benefits of properly
trained and informed operators can be readily quantified. It Is suitable
for operators. Describes the major types of measuring and control
instruments and equipment that are used. Describes the principles behind
the selection, construction and operation of process measurement and
control equipment. Builds on the existing knowledge of process
operators.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Specify and design instrumentation systems for pressure, level, temperature and flow.
- Identify a large number of industrial analytical measuring instruments.
- Describe the construction and operation of the most important analytical instruments.
- Be able to conduct the following types of measurement; pH, conductivity, turbidity, hygrometry, dissolved oxygen, total free chlorine and on‐line chromatography.
- Implement procedures for testing and calibration of analytical instruments.
- Correctly select and size control valves for any particular application.
- Troubleshoot and identify problems with instrumentation systems.
- Isolate control loops and identify a faulty instrument.
