Practical Valve Technology

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.

This Practical Valve Technology online training course 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

This five-day online training course will address all aspects of Selection, Operation and Maintenance and Troubleshooting of industrial valves.

At the end of this Practical Valve Technology online training course, 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

This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice

Deep understanding of different types of valves would have a great impact on the plant reliability, operation stability and overall running cost reduction. Selection of the right valve for the appropriate application does have important impact on the processes quality.

Participants will acquire sufficient knowledge and skills to independently evaluate possible valve operation, selection and design solutions and intelligently discuss their valve related issues and problems with other engineers.

Participants will enhance their competence and productivity thereby improving their performance level and making additional value added contributions to their organizations.

Engineers and Technicians of mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering will benefit largely from this online training course. Maintenance, Operation, and People in R and D department are recommended to attend this course.
