Energy Conservation Techniques and Technology for Industry

Introduction

This intensive training course will provide delegates with the required skills to ensure cost-effective operation and maintenance for their process plant.  Optimum modes that produce the most efficient results, consistent with the safe and reliable operation will be studied in detail. Plant energy consumption and reliability is the foundation of process plant optimization. For optimization benefits to be sustainable, production interruptions must be kept to a minimum, which requires effective management of degradation processes that affect equipment and systems and effective inspection and maintenance strategies, plans, and methods. Plant optimization can be an effective way to achieve improved profitability without the large investment associated with building a new plant. 

This training course will feature:

  • Process Overall Plant Effectiveness (OPE)
  • Best Practices in Operation and Maintenance
  • Business Sustainability and Related Factors
  • Energy Conservation Opportunities
  • Strategies for Improving Plant Profitability

Objectives

    By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

    • Recognize and understand overall plant effectiveness (OPE)
    • Apply the business focus to ensure sustainable plant profitability
    • Appraise the most cost-effective operation and energy-saving methods
    • Describe the managerial tools needed to effectively optimize plant operations
    • Implement the most appropriate operation and maintenance strategies
    • Determine and measure key performance indicators (KPIs) for their plant
    • Identify and apply effective procedures to improve those KPIs

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
